I think anyone with two eyes could see this no matter what kinda lies or coach speak was going on.

While I am all for blaming BK on the handling of Nuss, Nuss didn't exactly show any accountability when asked about his injuries early in the season

Kelly was a man rapidly approaching retirement age. He got a job that paid him $10 million per year and where he thought he wouldn't have to work hard to succeed. He was lazy, complacent, and thought he was better than the entire state. His attitude tainted the entire program. Kiffin is almost the literal opposite of everything that bulldog faced fraud was as a coach and as a man. BK owes Nuss an apology, but I'm sure he knows it isn't coming.

I know he's just answering the questions asked of him but it's really time for us to move on

there was diagnosing and certain testings that were done that didn't happen until he mentions the timeline of "about 2 months ago". So put that together, lsu went the entire season of not doing everything possible in getting to the bottom of nuss's injury.

This scares me a bit. I feel like a big fat lawsuit is coming and Nuss will end up draning resources from our NIL and tarnish are rep that we have going right now and we are dominateing at the moment! Please dont let Kelly screw this up to!

we saw the MVB experiment & it wasn’t good either.

Based on the way Nuss played, I think we could’ve made through the first 6 weeks 4-2 with MVB. We were 5-1 with Nuss. Does the rest of the season turn out differently if we have a healthy Nuss? I’d say most definitely.

We damn sure didn’t need him for La Tech or SELU. So he could’ve at least had two games rest.

WTF were we doing in fall camp to have our potential Heisman candidate, top 10 QB in a position to get injured anyway?


Its a throwing injury, not blunt contact.

Remember when scona was telling us to stop making the claim that he was injured after the SLU game because he looked “good” and nothing is wrong with him

He literally could have tore something throwing the ball at a weird angle.

Injured Nuss was the best option

I wasn't a huge fan of MVB, but I didn't see a big difference either way. I think Nuss had like 12 TDs to 5 Ints on the year and MVB had like 8 TDs to 2 Ints. Nuss was more accurate, but both had their accuracy issues. MVB obviously gave us a threat to run when Nuss was zero threat to run. But even though MVB had some nice runs, he also didn't go all out with sliding before the first down on an occasion or two.

The whole offense and the entire scheme was awful. It was one of those years where both QBs needed to play because of the lackluster output and just looking for some kind of spark. Maybe the best idea would have been to play MVB more earlier in the season so that Nuss could recover from his injury and be the significantly better option, but that never happened.

Not saying he didn't have a part in it but there are a lot of machinations that go into a decision like that.

Then he shouldn’t have played. It was handled horribly from top to bottom. Nuss and Kelly both lied about his injury.

And that injury started a butterfly effect for the program. If he doesn’t get hurt we don’t have LK right now


And it's great we have two QBs that can step in if Levitt gets hurt.

I think he is full of it, was he injured.. maybe, but I dont think injured enough to be the reason he played so bad. A lot of his mistakes were beyond what that supposed injury would have caused. Hell BK says blatantly after the Ole Miss loss that Garrett is "Fully Healthy" I know BK was a clown show, but what does he gain from lying that obviouly?

After Nuss has already said it isn't on LSU that the doctors were fine and everything?

Strong assumption that 2 weeks rest would have mattered when they couldn't even figure out what was going on.

So they knew he was hurt bad, they couldn’t diagnose it, and they still decided to play him against Southeastern and Tech?


This is the real head scratcher. I get he's our best option in SEC play, even hurt, but why play him in these types of games?
