LSU virtual reality training room.

IDK were I heard or read this but it is my understanding that the LSU virtual reality room became available for JD after the FSU game and before the Grambling game. Is this accurate?

Looking back JD was expected to have an All American performance versus Grambling. The talent disparity between LSU and Grambling was too great for Grambling to compete, but his performance carried into the next game and next game.

Something change with Daniels.

IMO what changed was his recognition of defenses with his pre-snap reads. JD wasn't holding on to the ball like he did last season. He had become more decisive with his throws. The mental part of his game improved drastically after week one.

Was the virtual reality room the tool that Daniels needed to take that next step?

If QBs have the ability to recognize defenses pre-snap at the college level the offense will have a huge advantage over the defense. Additionally if the QB checks out of a play upon pre-snap recognition it forces him to execute leadership and thus the respect of his teammates.

Furthermore, looking back Joe Burrow had the same ability. The ability to recognize defenses pre-snap and audible if needed or execute a play into the defense's weakness.

IMO the ability for a college QB to recognize defenses and adjust is a MASSIVE advantage at the college level. At the college level if an QB checks out of a play based on the QB's pre-snap read 9 time out of 10 the defense is not reacting to the audible call. At the NFL level it's different. Defenses will react to QB audible most of the time and they constantly play cat and mouse games with each other. At the college level teams just do not have that much time during the week to practice pre-snap adjustments like the pros so if you have a QB at the college level that can read defenses pre-snap, that is huge advantage.

If the virtual reality room tool exist for LSU QBs I really hope Nuss is using this training tool going into the bowl game.
