I follow max Browne pretty close on YouTube thought this was an interesting perspective. I feel like he is going soft on Nuss tho, and said “I wouldn’t be surprised if later in the season something comes out about an injury”

Bruh everyone including his coaches have been talking about a possible injury all season wtf

Ok so like I thought there’s nothing necessarily concrete, no leaked info or insiders, just speculation?

Can confirm this dude was right. That’s crazy

I love the Breiden mf Fehoko is actively posting on the rant. I don’t like the unfortunate reality it took to get here but I do love to see former players providing their input here!! Loved you at LSU breiden, hope all is well:)

LSU put up 23.

Their backup QB averaged 8.1 y/a for 4TD 0INT. Our heisman candidate averaged 5.3 y/a and 1TD 1INT


Is it really too much to ask for at least a mediocre offense?

We returned our QB, most RBs, and most agree upgraded our WRs, but replaced the entire starting OL. Returned the same head coach and Year 1 coordinator. So with expecting to take a step forward in year 2 of this offense balanced with losing some OL, I don’t think it would’ve been crazy to at least hope to maintain a similar offensive output to last year.

With almost half the season over, it’s clear we haven’t. but if we did, our offense according to SP+ would be ranked #20 (36.8) rather than #41 (32.2). With our defense this year (#5, 12.4), we would be ranked as the 6th best team in the country (24.6) rather than down at #16 where we currently are. We’d be above Ole Miss and likely would’ve beaten them. Above every single SEC team except Oklahoma.

Not to mention if we had 2023’s offense, we’d be far and away the #1 ranked team in the country in SP+. Even if we had 2022’s offense, we’d be ranked #11. It’s infuriating to see in a year where a natural step forward should’ve happened, we’ve regressed to the worst Brian Kelly offense since he was at 2008 Cincinnati. I just cannot fathom why it’s so hard for him to put together the whole package here!!!

Our opponents for reference:

Rank Name SP+ OFF (RK) DEF (RK)
46. Clemson 8.8 29.7 (58) 20.7 (37)
31. Florida 13.1 29.6 (59) 16.6 (18)
70. LT 0.7 21.7 (104) 21.0 (40)
7. OM 23.4 39.3 (9) 16.2 (16)

NEXT:
41. SCar 10.4 27.9 (66) 17.6 (21)
22. Vandy 17.1 38.1 (15) 21.3 (41)
15. A&M 20.6 37.2 (17) 16.6 (17)

So even though we’ve only played top 40 defenses, we didn’t outscore the expected points against by much… and I don’t expect it will get any easier soon. If only we could’ve just maintained a decent level of offense with almost the same players and coaches from last year…

Yeah, I think while he’s clearly not the Nuss we saw in peak form last year, he’s not some scrub either. Even this season, he’s exactly the QB we would’ve killed for in the 2010s with a solid defense. And we have a solid defense.

Just gotta the run game going!! I think that worries me the most, not Nuss’s play. Cuz without the run game, Nuss DOES need to play like a heisman candidate for us to have a functional offense

I tend to think QBR, while perhaps often a reductive, is a pretty indicator of what QBs are playing. Nuss currently through 5 games has a better QBR than John Mateer (who lead heisman race until his injury) does through 4. Currently ranked at 26th nationally. WAY ahead of other highly touted QBs like Drew Allar, Arch Manning, DJ Lagway, Cade Klubnik, etc. LSU is far from the only team with a QB regression problem and honestly one of the least severe cases of it. If Nuss really is injured, maybe the can step up his game a little bit more. And even if not, with our defense a top 25 QB should win us most games. The sky is not falling, even if I too have been pretty vocal about the disappointment of watching Nuss this year

We posted 3 minutes apart lol my bad for not checking the board extensively when I watched the TD catch

I know we have a loaded WR room but what’s the reason he left? Just watched him score a sick TD for Miami after being the highlight reel of the week against ND. Is a close 2nd in yards and 1 in TDs for one of the top teams in the country. Did we let him get away or do you guys think he wouldn’t have cracked our top 3?
