You had it right in the beginning of your post....the offensive line. Enough said. Look at the result of a bad offensive line.....no running game (see where we rank rushing the ball) and a QB either on his backside looking at the stars or running for his life). Nuss is a pocket passer and can pass from a run if it part of the play BUT not if he is running from defenders. See sacks, and hurries.
To be "Elite" or say "A Top Ten Program in the Nation" you have to be consistent......LSU is NOT consistent. Year in and Year Out we do not have a great QB. The same can be said with other position groups and coaching as well.....JUST NOT CONSISTENT AT BEING GREAT!

You are totally wrong.....no bigger liability than the whole offensive line....granted that Nuss is a pocket passer and not fleet of foot but he has shown what he can do if protected. But LSU has many more problems than just Nuss or the offensive line. What did we have at QB before Joe Burrow. And what have we had at QB since Joe Burrow (only Jayden Daniels). Look at Alabama as they always have a very good to great QB every year. Alabama always has solid coaching, plenty of athletes on either side of the ball to get the job done. LSU lacks consistency and that's the bottom line of it all.
Just go to regular YouTube and type in the search window "LSU men's basketball live" and most of the time you can find the game streaming. I watched the women win last night and just watched the men win.
A big resounding no to Blake Baker....

re: 40% coaching 60% QB

More like 65% offensive line and 35% coaching....Nuss getting hit on every pass play doesn't make it his fault.
He can't evaluate his own players....one big mistake was in the portal....he gets all these players at various positions on offense and defense but one very important position has been the downfall of the offense and that is the offensive tackle position. He should have went even deeper into the portal for several experienced offensive tackles that would be the starters while these that are playing now would have time to develop.
Nuss is not the problem....coaching, schemes, situational coaching on both offense and defense, and we should have added proven offensive guards and tackles instead of relying on young and inexperienced players that we have on the offensive line now. The thinking was that we only needed a center but that thinking has cost us another showing in the college playoffs.
Relevant means staying relevant.....not just for one game....your first big test and you can't handle it.....and certainly not for just one season (2019). Unfortunately, LSU is never going to be year in and year out a top ten team. Several down years and then a really good year.....this is the best we can hope for. It will take a new coach because BK isn't going to get it done.

Backup QB

Posted by Wes_man225 on 9/28/25 at 3:05 pm
I will post this question and will look forward to the responses......Why doesn't LSU football ever make a change at quarterback during a game (1) when victory is well in hand or (2) when things are not going well. Yes, I know Van Buren got playing time against SLU but he should have started that game and played the entire game as we now keep seeing that something is wrong with Nuss. But it just doesn't happen enough. When is the last time LSU removed a quarterback for the backup during a game that we were still in but things were going badly.?
Don't get so excited....this was SLU from Hammond Louisiana. Kaleb needs to run from the I position and have a really good run blocking offensive line for him to be successful.....and he needs to get angry.....he needs to really want it.

The woes of the running game at LSU

Posted by Wes_man225 on 9/8/25 at 6:29 pm
There is something to be said for the old way of running the football where the running back is a few yards behind the quarterback. From this position he can receive the toss from the right side or the left side. Defense has to respect both possibilities. Then, when the toss takes place this creates movement....more movement by the linemen and linebackers than the way things are done now with the quarterback handing to a running back standing flatfooted and having no momentum going anywhere. With the increased movement created by the "toss" a running back gets momentum and can read his blocks better thus having a better chance of gaining more yardage. I believe Kaleb Jackson would benefit from the old "toss". As well, I think all running backs would do better with the "toss" rather than the qb read and react which has rb's standing flatfooted and having no momentum. This is my opinion and look forward to hearing what others have to say.

Nuss reading the defense

Posted by Wes_man225 on 4/2/25 at 4:15 pm
I am hoping that Nuss will be allowed to read what the defense is doing based on their formation and then call the play or check into a play that will work better than whatever play might have been called initially. This is what Joe Burrow was so good at. If anyone has any knowledge about this I would like to know.

Exposed

Posted by Wes_man225 on 3/24/25 at 1:09 pm
Just like in football, when you play your first tough contest the LSU baseball team in my opinion got EXPOSED with major weakness. Actually more than one weakness and those being (1) the pitching staff is not as promising as thought to be with the lone exception being Mr. Anderson. (2) The tigers hitting is as inept when facing decent pitching. I say decent because those longhorn pitchers were not all that great (in my opinion) and LSU could not put the bat to ball and hit it where they are not as the longhorn hitters did with consistency against LSU pitching. Just as in watching an LSU basketball game, I found it very painful and frustrating to watch so I chose to do something else. But God bless this team and hope they get better in both areas as they have the potential to be a very very good team.
No matter who they play the men's basketball team continue to do the same things every game that lead to losing. Somewhere around the 7 to 10 minute mark of the second half, this LSU team is going to implode with fouls, turnovers, bad shot selection, bad defense missed free throws and poor coaching. It is an act of misery to watch this LSU men's basketball team play. I'm done until they get a new coach that can recruit great players and understands what a center is, what a power forward is, a true point guard is, etc.
Not having a true point guard that can handle the ball really showed tonight against ole miss. Should have been an easy win But this team of LSU doesn't have a good coach, no true point guard, no true center, and as icing on the cake this LSU team has no maturity and no leadership.

Backup QB's

Posted by Wes_man225 on 12/23/24 at 8:57 pm
Backup QB's can't fully develop if they don't get into the game and get playing time. And I'm not talking about with 1 minute left. Nuss is not going to go Alpha to Omega in 2025. We're going to need to see what Hurly and the new transfer can do before SEC action starts.

Don't report commitments

Posted by Wes_man225 on 11/26/24 at 10:47 pm
When it comes to players like underwood, I wish LSU would have the policy of not making it known to the public that they wish to commit to LSU. If they sign with LSU, then let it be known. These out of state guys just use LSU for a bigger bounty. So tired of the decommitments over the past 15 to 20 years of these types of players.
Don't sweat it.....Washington was an elite 8 in the tournament last year and this game was played on a small venue court but the Tigers won.....I say awesome win.
