No I would not. Friend, you do not know me. An oblique or similar injury is debilitating for athletes. The twisting etc from throwing and running can be problematic. It now makes we wonder whether the entire thing has been mismanaged. I suspect that is the case.

I swear to goodness, this needs to be exposed this is literal coaching malpractice AND if it costs us another game we should win, I’m irreparably out on BK, this should not happen in any world

Accuracy and velocity really aren't that dependent on the quality of the defense. He was way off even with time.

If true, is Kelly playing him with risk of injuring him further reason to fire with cause and not have to pay a buyout?

No they aren’t equal but they aren’t drastically different. It’s not some insurmountable feat.

Was in response to this.

It was an injury to his throwing hand & who honestly knows if that is completely healed.

If MVB still had an injury to his throwing hand he wouldn't have been able to make those throws no matter who was on the opposite side.

I feel like most of the fans have checked out on him, he’s playing a dangerous game right now.

I am sure that he spoke with the trainers to gauge the grade or seriousness of the injury. I do believe it is possible that Nuss hasnt been completely honest about the severity of the pain. Im not a big fan of BK but I dont think all of this can be pinned on him. Some should be though.

The underlying truth in all of this is Nuss is a gamer and wants to win for LSU. The fans should respect that. We all agree he looks off, but he's giving it his all, even though that is not very good right now.

I agree he should have played, but there is absolutely no way to know that. He may had gone out there and wilted on the road and turned the ball over multiple times.

If Nuss isn’t 100% next week, then MVB needs to at least split snaps and get some real reps with the game still in the balance. At home is a much different animal than throwing a backup into the fire on the road.

We can’t run the ball because Nuss is hurt?

Well, I know media was reporting a lot he looked bad in practices they were in. Some players are just not practice animals and maybe that's what has BK terrified. Maybe when the lights are on the guy is just better at everything feeding off his adrenaline. He sure looked calm and composed against Southeastern. I get it, they suck but none of the things media was complaining about him were present.


MVB was playing against what turned out to be a pretty damn good defense in camp. Some struggles are to be expected.

One thing to note- Jeff Lebby doesn’t run a rocket science scheme and likely had to simplify it more for a true freshman when Shapen went down last year. Now he’s in a completely different scheme in year two that’s typically being run by a guy who’s been around this offense for a while. It may be Sloan calling it now, but the terminology and basic elements of the playbook are still the same going back to 2022. So it may just be that the staff doesn’t trust MVB to run as much of the offense as they want yet.

I still agree that MVB should play. I can just see where the staff may not feel like they can lean on him yet. But a simplified offense executed better will likely bring better results than what we’re currently seeing.

Don’t you think the coaching staff would play Van Buren if he gave LSU had a better chance to win? Tells me that an injured Nuss gives LSU a better chance to win instead of Van Buren.

The major reason for LSU’s lack of offense success is the non- existent running game. Not Nuss’s passing. Obviously, the coaching staff believed we would have a much better running game.

We have watched this coaching staff make incorrect personnel decisions for 4 years in the name of "experience" so No I don't think they'd ever be convinced that MVB would give them a better chance than Nuss unless Nuss literally can't go into the game.

The run game doesn't help but Nuss's inability to throw the ball 40 yards is literally killing us. We couldn't run last year but the offense was still pretty good cuz Nuss could throw.

If this were true, we would have had more run calls in the first half. We basically abandoned the run as soon as the game started. Nothing about the OM game makes any sense.

Torn obliques rarely require surgery. Most heal with rest and limited activity. In severe tears don't require surgery in most cases. It's a nagging injury though, and he may need to sit out a few weeks.

Im no doctor and dont know the severity. I am just relaying the information that I was given to people who care about LSU as much as I do. Nuss is a damn fighter and a great kid, I hate that this has derailed his season and potentially the entire teams season but I do respect the fight hes putting up.
