Nussmeier current condition

This was the moment I mentally tuned out of the Bama game - mid third quarter on the drive that resulted in the int, pressure came in and we got a good close up of this reaction (the live version is even worse)



Problem with this mainly is I don’t think this is the first time I’ve seen this face this season. It’s happened on multiple blitzes and is giving flashes of Max Johnson’s face.

Now I’ve been fully on board with the idea that he’s a first year starter and he’ll only get better with more reps (and I still am for the avoidance of doubt) but i don’t know how this disposition gets weened out.

I’m fully behind the BK sentiment on the rant lately, but if we can’t have our main weapon on the field mentally locked in, take what’s available, and not throw away 3rd & 4 opportunities because he’s unable to will his team to a first down using his own legs, then we’re never going to overcome the momentum aspect of this game.

We can talk about shitty contracts in perpetuity and BK’s lack of preparation, but I’m more shocked that BK let Nuss finish this game. BK has to identify when preparation didn’t work and adapt. It’s one thing to let Nuss work himself out of a situation and get exposure to tough losses, and it’s another to let him drown. Texas let Arch take over for a half and it didn’t mean that they were abandoning Quinn. It just meant it was better for the player and the team if he sit and observe the game for a bit.
