Good

God I hope the transfer portal light does not come on again. There is still a lot to play for in the next two games

tigerbutt•31 months

No there isn’t shut up.

What, the toilet bowl?

atltiger6487•31 months

a lot to play for??? This season is an utter disaster. There's nothing to play for. It just needs to end without severe injuries.

What changed his mind in 7 or 8 days? Garret Nussmier went to Ed orgeron and said I want to play than he does not want to be the bench his freshman year. This message was a few days before the Arkansas game. His dad spoke to Ed orgeron as well and gold him let his son play.

His performance against Arkansas?

I'm just ready for Edward to be gone

Play Matt and pass every down.

StupidBinder•31 months

No point really in playing the next two games. Hit the reset button and start the QB competition over next spring with the new coach

JackieTreehorn•31 months

Ed Orgeron lmao

eugene1928LSU•31 months

Unprecedented a player telling a coach don't play me I want to redshirt. So much for one team one heartbeat.

Lsu101205•31 months

This isn't unprecedented at all. Why wouldn't he red shirt at this point? Having the option to be a 5th year senior makes way more sense than playing in mop up duty during ULM and possibly playing during the TAMU game.

Saving a year for transfer???

LSU_Legz•31 months

Didn't CEO come out shortly after the Arkansas game saying he thought the best decision was for Nuss to redshirt this year? How in the world is this Nuss dictating to O "how it's going to be"?

Sweet baby James. The inmates are running the asylum

JodyPlauche•31 months

Good for him...he will NOT need the extra year...But Andrew Luck took a redshirt at Stanford

GroundPati•31 months

Depending on who is hired at LSU, also depending on what type offense will be run, maybe 50/50 on this ‘Family’ using the transfer Portal . I get the either/or thinking decision. Good luck GN !

ccomeaux•31 months

How can people find this board, sign up, read enough to have a comment yet have zero idea what they are talking about ? Unreal ! The ONLY decision at this point for GN is to redshirt. Not doing so and burning a year of eligibility would be completely stupid.

Koolazzkat•31 months

The whole damn redshirt option is stupid. An enrolled student athlete should be eligible to play until he/she is no longer enrolled or has signed with an agent to become professional. Crazy azz world with stupid azz regulations.

atltiger6487•31 months

"An enrolled student athlete should be eligible to play until he/she is no longer enrolled or has signed with an agent to become professional".... without a time limit, you'd have guys, not good enough for the NFL, playing in college for 10 years. Thus the "5 years to play 4" limit, which makes sense.

olgoi khorkhoi•31 months

Nice to meet you, Matt O’Dowd. Congratulations, you’re now the best player on the roster.

Le Tenia•31 months

I guess the reason given is not popping up in the "story" above. Can someone let me know what reason was given?

TigerMan79•31 months

It's pretty obvious

LSU615•31 months

If he had looked and felt like he were ready last week, he would be burning that red shirt.

GeauxTigers1410•31 months

Johnson has played like he has no backup all season (and he hasn't apparently), why stop now?
