Do away with these nuanced rules
Yeah. Agree. Maybe it’s all just bad luck. But Alabama seems to be on the “lucky” end of it quite frequently, and not just against LSU. These judgments allow for at least the appearance of corruption and gambling influence.

re: QB slide rule

I just find it sketchy that they were able to see indisputable evidence enough to overturn the call and say that he started to slide exactly 1/2 a yard short of the first down. Shouldn't be a reviewable play since it's a judgement call
Yes. This is exactly the point. It’s a total judgment call. The ref made the call on the field. No way it was indisputable that he was short. Just a judgment. You go with the call. And it’s not just this call in isolation. It’s what happened that entire drive. In isolation, sure…it’s just a bad break. In aggregate, though, it is really hard to believe anything other than the officials were doing everything they could to slow/stop momentum.

The rule requires judgement on whether the fall was part of the catch. A football move typically defines whether the fall was part of the catch or subsequent to the catch.
This x 1000.
Don’t know why a few keep defending this stupid interpretation of the rule.
The “control to the ground” thing only applies if someone is “in the process” of making catch. You have to believe that Brown was still in the process of making a catch, which is absurd.
re: Have any of the talking heads argued the right call was made on the TD?

It’s a stupid interpretation of the rule.
The rule says that if you go to the ground in the process of making a catch you, you have to control the ball to the ground.
He wasn’t “in the process” of making the catch. He made the catch, controlled the balled, took a step, hit the pylon, then went to the ground. It’s a TD. This is what everyone watching, including the expert ref consultant on TV saw. The only one who didn’t was apparently in Birmingham. You have to really stretch to say that he was still in the process of making a catch.
Not only that, they were overruling the call on the field. (I know…they didn’t call it a TD, but they DID call it a catch.) Should be indisputable video evidence to overturn. In other words… it was a BS call.

remember the clowns here pre-season saying we would have the best Ol in the nation with zero supporting evidence?
I hear ya. I hate seeing people say stuff like that before the games are even played.
But the thing about OL, more so than any other group I think, is that success depends on the entire unit being good. Every guy. You can have 4 guys demolish their opponents, but if one guy whiffs it will look like a terrible job by the OL. Lots of fans will just see this and say, "OL sucks!."
You're Jackie's son? What a fine person he is? Heck, all of the Casanovas are fine people. Would love to see young Jackson at LSU.
re: Despite the stats, last night was Nuss’s best game
Posted by taf on 10/20/24 at 11:11 am to DennisQuaid
Yes, he is improving each week I think.
He can continue to improve by not throwing into double coverage, as others have said. I think the safeties were often shading over to the corner to double. Gotta attack the middle of the field, including using the tight end. That’s not all on Nuss though. Coaches have to prepare him for that and help him with routes to defeat it.
But he did a really nice job of stepping up into the pocket. Several times last night he avoided pressure that way. And it allows him to step into the throw. I think this is the best he’s done that all year. Arkansas has a solid defense. Impressive performance overall.

didn't he literally lead us down the field to score and tie the game up at the end of the game before we let them drive the field quickly, and win? I really can't remember exactly.
On that drive…
1st and 10 at USC 16 with 2:34 left. Down by 3. Incompletions on 2nd and 3rd and 8, including terrible throw to Anderson. Settled for field goal. He wasn’t awful. And he wasn’t why we lost. But an example of him not making a play when he could have. In contrast, last night threw TDs on last two possessions.

He is missing daniels, everyone was dropping balls, and his accuracy was a hair off.
I agree that many things contributed to the lack of success early on. But I didn’t think there were tons of drops. There were a couple of drops, but there were many 50:50 balls that our guys didn’t come down with. Some of those were 50:50 because of Nuss. He was just playing poorly: inaccurate, poor mechanics making his ball sail, and iffy decisions.
But you gotta give him credit. He hung in there, didn’t get down on himself, and made big plays when the game was on the line. He didn’t do that against USC. Sorta reminds me of the Auburn game in 2018. Burrow didn’t play particularly well for much of that game, but he made some clutch plays at the end.
Maybe this will give Nuss some confidence going forward.

3) What misguided rule is there that disallowed Aaron Anderson's catch tonight?
You can blame the NFL for this. They created the whole “catch must survive the ground“ rule. I don’t really like it either, but that’s the rule now courtesy of NFL.

Targeting requires that he be defenseless.
A runner is not defenseless. If he slides, he is defenseless. Slid too late. So no targeting.

Nuss shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as JD but JD was criticized way more than Nuss on here.
Just a few idiots.
Most folks on here know that, while Nuss is a very good and talented QB, JD was an elite, Heisman QB and one of the very best to ever suit up for the Tigers.
Neither Nuss nor any one player deserves blame for the USC loss. That being said, he didn’t make elite plays at the end that could have brought a win. It’s not shitting on him to acknowledge that. He is improving and may make these kind of plays going forward. It’s not a novel thought, but to be considered great, you gotta make big plays at crunch time. He may get there.
JD made many great plays during his time at LSU (e.g., OT vs Bama). I don’t think I have to list them all. We all know them and we can all look up his highlights. Just like with Nuss, it is fair to say that he wasn’t great immediately. He got better with time. He worked his arse off and was exceptionally coachable to go along with his incredible talent.
I will mention Ole Miss game last year, though, since that was brought up, and it seems some may have forgotten.
JD made incredible plays at the end of the game, including a great, potential game winning throw that could easily have been caught.

He definitely played last night. Saw him out there in the 4th for sure. Didn't notice whether he played earlier in the game.
