Nuss has yet to score over 19 points on a Power 4 team. Against a solely SEC schedule for MVB in which his first 2 starts were on the road at Top 5 teams and 6 of the 8 were against Top 20 teams, MVB had 20 or more in 5 of 8 starts.

Nuss has averaged 6.0 YPA against P4 teams. MVB was at 7.4. YPA is massive, massive. In my opinion, it is the most important QB stat.

Compare True Freshman Underwood, who is averaging 4.9 YPA against OU and Nebraska, P4 teams, MVB looked like a Heisman verse that.

He was on a very low talent offense and a true freshman QB. I don't see how he'd do worse now with more talent and another year experience.

If you take out sacks, MVB had around 20 to 25 rushing yards a game. Not great, but the threat is still there that the Defense has to account for. There is 0 threat rushing with Nuss, and the Defense has to take no account for potential scrambling.

Most importantly, he was a true freshman. Have you ever heard of a True Freshman just play lights out when he had no cucpakes and started out on the road vs 2 Top 5 teams and 80% of his schedule was vs Top 20 teams? Probably not. I can't see him not vastly improving from year 1 to year 2.

If it is worse, that's okay. I would rather try it out to get some damn spark, figure out that it's worse, then go back to Nuss... compared to staying with the vanilla, 3 and outs that we have.

Like you have to be clinically insane to want to stay with what we have right now.

This place went from "Which top transfer QB will be at LSU next season?" to "Why MVB is actually the Heisman frontrunner" with the quickness

The True freshman who played a GAMBIT of SEC play with no OL?

No problem.

54% Completion 11 TDs, 7 Ints.

You tell me who you take. The 5th year senior or the True Sophomore. I know RIGHT now who has more upside.

Burger King is very hesitant to change QB’s because if VB succeeds he’ll look like an idiot !
