So they kept checking out of a run play to pass when Ole Miss continued over and over to drop 8 into coverage with only a 3 man front? That makes total sense

I didn’t say that. I said we don’t know what happened. Every now and then I watch some insightful play analyses from someone who knows what he is talking about - there is a good one by Matt Flynn this week. I’m always amazed at what is really going on that we fans have no idea about. And Matt only covered pre-snap reads; there are other unknowns like what players are ineffective due to injury, what pre-game scouting showed the staff, etc. The point is that the coaches are armed with a lot of data we are not, plus things are happening on the field we are unaware of.

Only morons speak in absolutes. Sloan is most certainly a part of the problem.

I’ve said it all year that Sloan deserves some blame but these plays have been there for Nuss all year he’s just not seeing it correctly or the protection is not set correctly.

It’s probably a collision of how he was trained as a young person and how he’s being coached now. It was a pre snap mistake and if it was made based on a Mike ID from someone else that’s a result of conflicting philosophies. He’s probably trusting how he’s been coached from a kid so he can anticipate which was obviously the wrong thing to do in that situation.
Even if the play was an RPO, that’s still not a good place to call it. That’s one for between the 15s where you have a little more space to operate.
If we are calling a pass inside the 5, it needs to heavily involve Green, either as an iso target like in the Clemson game, or a decoy to stress the defense.

Agree

Maybe they called 20 runs and checked out because of the defense. How do we know?
Then Joe Sloan should’ve told Nuss to quit checking out of runs and if he continued to do so he should have benched him.

Nuss turns it over out of fear most of the time.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s fear. But he does absolutely fricking panic back there and it causes a lot of turnovers. The gunslinger name he’s tagged with is incorrectly applied.

If you watch several LSU football YouTube rs you'll see that's the problem. To me it's not scheme it's execution. That's a coaching problem.

Sloan taking more heat than he deserves maybe?
Nope
Vs the worst run D, he called 2…2 rushing plays in 1 half.
If players aren’t executing, part of the blame is on his coaching.

That was good to show what happened on the goaline pick. You have the center making the Mike ID, then Nuss counts it out and determines we’re 1 on 1, zero so he throws the middle slant. Next time we’re in a situation like that look for some motion to give the QB a more accurate read.

Nope. LSU ran the ball with a running back twice in the 1st half against the worst rush defense in the SEC.
Yep, and I have to point out that of those two runs, one of them was late in the 2nd Quarter on 3rd and 20. We basically conceded the drive and tried to get a few extra yards of field position for the punt. So I don't even count that. Therefore our RBs got exactly ONE carry the whole first half vs. the worst rush D in the SEC.

If the LT and TE dont whiff on blocks, walk in TD.
It wasn't a bad call considering Nuss almost threw an Int right before that play.

quote:A lot of people have revisionist history on Flynn. Yes we won with him, but Perriloux likely would have been in the running for the heisman playing that season with that offense. Flynn completed something like 56% percent of his passes. His TD to int ratio was 2:1. Im not saying he didn't have some clutch plays that year, but he was 100% VERY inefficient. Matt Flynn was a worse version of Tee Martin in that Tennessee championship year.
Completely different era of football. Nuss’ stats aren’t gonna be much better this season at the current pace lmao

But his allegation is false. What I said after the FSU loss in 2023 was “if you’re gonna call the game that way you might as well play the other QB” it was a critique on us not using JDs legs vs FSU not a call to bench him. That poster has tried to twist that into something else.

Sloan is one of, if not the, worst play callers in the entire conference. He's wasted more talent on this team over the last two years than anyone could imagine. He is predictable, non-creative, and cannot adjust to save his life.
He is by far the biggest problem on this offense, but hey, let's just say it is all Nuss' fault.

Yea listen to Lester the liar. That’ll get you far in life lol
