Well, he is always good for a couple of turnovers. Quick 3 and outs.

Clearly Nuss is hurt or has a dead arm. Why BK is covering it up is the real question I’d like someone to pose at the next presser

Nussmeier is definitely one of the biggest problems. He still makes bad decisions and now he doesn’t have the arm to make up for it.


Who is the supposed QB whisperer that is on staff? Oh right, the OC who can’t call a run on first down to save his life.

Reality is that this offensive coaching is worse by far than the defensive coaching was in 2023. That was hard to do, but Kelly found a way to make even worse hires on offense than he did on the defensive side of the ball back then.

Its s schematic problem. If they are going to call plays this way, it will absolutely help to play MVB

Obviously you know little. If you can’t see that Nuss is incapable of making the throws right now then I don’t know what to tell you. Definitely a coaching problem not trying someone else when the current guy can’t do it.

Sloan is a bad OC but Sloan didn’t make his arm weak and physically limit the throws he can make.

So you think they will keep the changed defense for MVB when Nuss comes back in?

Of course, they would just say, they put in MVB and he has mobility. We need to change the defense and then if Nuss comes back in, we still keep in that defense.

I agree with most of what you posted, but Van Buren could be a spark we need - especially with Nussmeier not being able to throw deep.

Right now, not only does is look like Nussmeier is having trouble physically, but it is very obvious something is wrong mentally. Maybe sitting a few series will help that.

If the offense stays the same, we will not win another AWAY game and might even lose to A @ M at home. Something needs to be done and not the same BS as "we need to get better".

It needs to be something big, like Taking Sloan away from playcalling, Going fast tempo all the time, Changing the QB, etc.

The offense has been horrible ALL season except 3 quarters against SELA. Unacceptable with us having a 5th year senior as QB.

Kelly is the main issue.

Sloan is the one calling the offense as if he can make those throws. If he knows he can’t and doesn’t adjust the playcalling, that is on him.

This all started with Sloan. He straight up sucks and LSU and Kelly ironically are going to never win shite because of the 2022 and 2023 offensive success.

He blackmailed LSU into an undeserved promotion by leveraging Underwood’s commitment and BK stupidly caved


Kind of lost me here.

It was just a lazy hire by Kelly to promote “his guy” and “continuity” or some bullshite.

Only if the new QB comes in with a different playbook...which we know isn't even a remote possibility. LSU Is a one trick pony and that pony is on its last legs.

The question is: Has the team lost confidence in Nuss/sloan/BK ?

Have you not noticed the absurd amount of quick WR passes to the outside and shallow crosses we run? That’s because those are the only throws he can be depended on to make right now.

He has no business being out there and that’s on Kelly. I don’t think Sloan would become a genius overnight but his results would probably look different if he had an average, healthy QB to work with. Nuss is neither of those things at the moment.

It is obvious there is no trust there for down the field stuff. Painfully obvious.

MVB will at least pick up first downs with his legs. That alone is an upgrade


Agreed. There is ZERO chance of Nussmeier hurting you with his legs. They were mostly rushing three and dropping everyone else back, basically daring LSU QB to run. We have no RPO plays in our offense with Nussmeier at QB.

People keep acting like putting in MVB will help. It won’t. This is not a player problem


I disagree for the simple reason that MVB will run when there’s the need/opportunity.

That alone will force defenses to account for him. And we’ve seen before that a QB who is willing to make plays with his legs can mitigate some O line issues.

MVB would have forced Ole Miss yesterday to stop rushing 3 and dropping 8 into coverage.

That fact alone might have been enough to win barring a turnover.

Nuss was awful yesterday doesn’t matter the reason, hurt or healthy.
