Ed Orgeron Provides Significant Updates On The QB Plan For Arkansas Game

by Staff Reporter

November 8, 202156 Comments

Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

Ed Orgeron held his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon and said that Max Johnson will start Saturday vs. Arkansas but backup QB Garrett Nussmeier will play "significant snaps" in the game as well.

Orgeron said both quarterbacks will "split reps 50-50" during practice this week and whoever plays the best on Saturday will stay in the game.

Orgeron also added that he spoke with Nussmeier on Sunday about him possibly burning his redshirt and that the freshman QB was "adamant" about playing. Nussmeier's father, Doug Nussmeier who is the Dallas Cowboys QB coach, spoke with offensive coordinator Jake Peetz and they are all on the same page about him playing.

1 week late on his O. Great job.

ColdTurkey•32 months

Yup! Par for the course thought right?!

ColdTurkey•32 months

Sure would’ve been nice to see him burn his redshirt against the damn red shirts we just played! We would’ve won with Nuss behind center those 4th quarter drives. Nothing can convince me otherwise.

Hampton•32 months

I'm so glad we're firing this guy

Tigers4Lyfe•32 months

I won't try to convince you otherwise but since you're playing armchair coach convince me they would have won with Nuss.

Breauxsif•32 months

How could O not talk to him about redshirting before the damn Bama game?

Old Money•32 months

FFS who gives a shite. Should have burned it last fricking game…

LSUShock•32 months

Let's ask him about burning his redshirt after the game it actually mattered...

dagrippa•32 months

does Orgeron play video games all day or does he actually do anything football related now? I feel like an idiot for liking this man and defending him

bricksandstones•32 months

JFC. Every week this guy confirms that letting him go is the right decision.

ColdTurkey•32 months

Like clockwork.

jrodLSUke•32 months

Good plan. At this point in the season, let's get player reps and see what they can do.

GeauxPG•32 months

Lol wht changed since last week? It never made sense to keep a redshirt this season in the first place

GroundPati•32 months

I mean you have one starting quarterback and another family wanting to maintain a red shirt? What the heck? Then you get upset when your son doesn’t get in the game. I am Trippin with a family that dictates when they feel their son can play or not. I’m quite sure the plan was a red shirt before the year started and after getting a little playing time. Sounds good to me. Johnson was getting smacked around has been most of the season susceptible to injury( but not injured) . My gosh 2 dad’s were NFL quarterbacks who have college quarterbacks as sons on the same team, Yikes ! Geaux Tigers

OceanMan•32 months

So they never talked to the nuss family in the first place. Last week he said they wanted to retain the redshirt.

Alltheway Tigers!•32 months

A little f-king late for that Coach? Could have used Nuss for 2-3 series last weekend.

CaptainYaYa•32 months

Better late than never. This will strengthen our qb position for next season. Make the most of it Nuss!

GroundPati•32 months

I suspect there’s going to be a transfer, Myles Brennan is in the portal would not be surprised if another one decided to also.

AcetheTigah•32 months

why are we talking to parents about getting permissions to play their son? We should have had a plan in place and expectations that were communicated clearly to the team and parents alike before the season began. What a clown show!

GroundPati•32 months

Nussmeier was probably not gonna play with Brennan and Johnson being 1/2, Brennan got hurt which put Nussmeier on the block possibly losing a red shirt that his family most likely spoke to Coach Orgeron about wanting to pursue, I understand that, but things took a turn and maybe the Nussmier’s got upset during the Alabama game his son was not put in, so I’ll put that on Coach O for not making in game adjustments at QB, and being too scared without “ approval“..

RightWingTiger•32 months

Ur dumb.

El Magnifico•32 months

A weekend to f'ing late. We would have beaten Bama with a competent qb in the 4th

Kajuntiger121110•32 months

Doe sit really matter that it's after the bama game? Yall act like it would change the entire season and we would make the playoffs. I'm just glad to get another qb in who's not afraid to sling it. Johnson is a product of his dad's coaching...we know what Brad Johnson was in the NFL...a game manager. He has a super bowl ring because of the defense that yr

RightWingTiger•32 months

Oh BTW u did it AGAIN?!?!?

Kajuntiger121110•32 months

RightWingTiger•32 months

And AGAIN?!?!?

Kajuntiger121110•32 months

Rabbs and QStick•32 months

You can say that again.

lsusteve1•32 months

Max (at this point) isn't even that. He's not finding open guys NOR hitting them when he does. Not saying he can't improve but he's got a lot of things to work on.

Tigers4Lyfe•32 months

I wish LSU had a good enough defense that Max could manage the offensive side to a title.

Tigerwm23•32 months

They are just now discussing this ?! That away to plan ahead O

LSUSLU106•32 months

11 weeks to late that is all

mikethetigerdc•32 months

too

LSU_Legz•32 months

There's an old saying in football that the most popular guy on the team is the backup quarterback. It's amazing how many folks late last season and through the off-season were talking about Max as Joe Burrow 2.0, saying we should kick Brennan to the curb because Max was the future. Now that they see Max isn't the football god of a QB they thought, they are going onto the Nuss bus saying that "if only we played him, everything would be different". Yall make me lol...for real.
