Jacob Hester "call a run"

Jake basically was saying that RPOs tend to make the OL less aggressive because you can't go down the field. Hard to combo block a run when you can't go downfield.
Also points out that LSU has run Power zero times this year. Stated that the run play types are few and defenses catch on.
Flynn points out that even if you think your pulling guard isn't a strength, its no weaker than what you are doing right now.

Also said he salivated when running against a 3 man front because he knew he was getting some chunk yardage.

Hester repeatedly said during fall camp how good the run game was going to be this year. He said the people watching practice who had concerns about it were wrong.

Matt Moscona also said LSU would run the ball ALL OVER Ole Miss......

Exactly.
Other people have described this as to OL not firing off the line of scrimmage. Everyone can see it and especially defenses. And it becomes very easy to defend because you have an extra defender against the LSU run because Nuss is not a running threat.
Couple that with Nuss' weak throws deep and then defenses have their safeties leaning in. The LSU run offense is then, cooked.

Types? They have one run play and it is the read "option" from a QB that can't or won't run. And y'all wonder why they can't run the ball?
I've been telling y'all for months, that Sloan is a joke of coach, much less a Coordinator. I'm just stunned that Kelly allows this clown to be on staff. Amazing.

Hester also said everyone worried about Nuss’s health were fools.

I feel like asking Brian Kelly, "are you even paying attention?"

Okay. So he saying Nuss sucks and he's overrated as a first round pick. Got it.

How are all the other teams who run it having success?

They have QB that is a run threat when they run the RPO or when the QB is not a run threat they run from power formations.
Sloan thinks he still has Jayden Daniels as QB.

for RPO's all lineman have to assume it is a run but yes they cannot go past 3 yards downfield if it is a pass to play it safe.
he is right. a guard pulls on HB power. not on HB iso or toss dives. we should be running all of that PLUS counter traps, counter leads, counter treys, etc.
The run game we have is on a pop warner level. embarassment.

RPO is NOT read option/zone read

We aren’t even trying to run the ball tho. For whatever reason, Sloan is playing scared
Posted on 9/30/25 at 3:52 pm to bayou85
How about an occasional under center, I formation, 11 personnel run?

fricking hell. Can you motherfrickers all go buy NCAA 26 or pick up a copy of Football for Dummies and figure out the difference between a fricking Zone Read and an RPO? If Nuss is running on an RPO play we run in this scheme, then something very bad happened and he’s probably about to have his head taken off.
There is NO QB RUN OPTION ON ANY of our RPO plays. 0. Nada. None. It’s usually either a give to the back or a slant to Anderson or Thomas. The chunk play to Sharp vs UF was an RPO. If anything, the issue with our RPO game is that we don’t run enough routes out of them. Anderson is deadly on the slant, but there is so much more they could be doing with those sets.
We have run very few Zone Read plays where Nuss gives and then pretends to pull and hit the edge this season. We did run that more last season, but not as much this year. Nuss did have 2 that he pulled and ran for good yardage, but I don’t believe we ran a Zone Read set once vs OM or SELU.

I think Hester's point was that we do not try to run traditionally.

Thank you!! I cannot stand when people use RPO as read option in arguments
