Nuss in only 7 starts has done well…

Not sure what some fans expected from a new starter with limited experience coming in. He has been doing great.
He has incredible pocket presence, super accurate, excellent command of the offense. He is tough and just showed last night he is clutch.
He needs to run more when openings present and he tends to have 1or 2 questionable throws a game which has cost us some picks. He needs to clean that up.
I am not sure we can expect much better QB play.
Can’t wait to see his progression the rest of this season and next.

He’s done really well he just didn’t do really well Saturday. Those last 2 passes were insane though. But let’s not BS about it. He sucked outside of that and had we lost that game it would’ve mostly been on his poor play.

I think play calling had something to do with it. It felt like we were running downfield a ton.

Whatever it is I hope to god it gets fixed

Yeah the middle of the field seemed to be wide open and it seemed like we threw down field way more than we needed to. Was very weird play calling. I remember one drive we threw the ball down field over 30 yards 3 times in a row and then punted. Very weird

Really hope he comes back for another year. There is a nice track record of talented QB1s taking a big leap year 2 as starter. Mett, JB, and JD showed flashes year 1 and then really took off year 2.
As far as all the deep throws last week, I think the fix is more that Nuss tucks and runs if the throw isn’t there. Time and time again there were wide open lanes for him to run and slide down safely for large gains.

Nuss is doing fine. He’s going through some growing pains, but he will be just fine.

Plays were called with crossing routes wide open in the middle. Nuss decided to not throw those. Stop blaming coaching for everything. He had a bad game, luckily we still pulled out the win.

The deep ball just needs work. Coming into this game at a a 70% completion rate then ending the day in the 40's. I'd like to know if throwing deep was game plan or his decision. It just wasn't connecting most of the night. We won, and that's what matters, just needs to find that touch. A lot of overthrown balls that hurt his percentage.

Garrett "Brett Favre" Nussmeier

It's definitely tough playing in the shadow of 2 Heisman QBs. If he's judged based on their first years' as starters at LSU, he's doing very well.
Probably the best parallel is Miller Moss of USC. Both from the same recruiting class, stuck with their team behind a Heisman QB, both with similar recruiting rank.
Moss won the head to head, but I think he had the benefit of Lincoln as a play caller vs 1st year OC Sloan. Since then Moss has dipped some and has 11 TDs vs 5 INTs and a 133 rating. Nuss has 18/6 and a 150 rating.

LSU's offense under Kelly hasn't been the easiest on QBs. The schemes/approach on their own haven't produced a ton of busted coverages. To be successful, both Daniels and Nussmeier have had to make a lot of throws into very tight windows. That's why in 2022 Daniels was hesitant to throw early on. There weren't a ton of truly open WRs. Compare that with 2019 when the formations/routes were routinely confusing defenses.
Some of it is because he's had the propensity to overlook the easy throw for a riskier, big gain. But many times he's having to put the ball into some really tight windows and he has done it more often than not. He rarely has big misses or completely off target throws.

Not much, though. He made some bad choices about which throws to attempt, tried to force several throws, and simply missed his throws several times, mostly overthrows. But he did well toward the end and finally even ran for a first down once, Players have bad games, it happens. Nuss is still a top tier QB in my book.

Agree, not sure if it was play calling but if it was the OC needs to go back to the game and take lesson constantly throwing the ball past 20 + yards. Broke the record for the most passes thrown over 20 yards in a game, completed or not. Something was not in sync, and since it did not change at half time, have to belief this was poor game planning and play calling by the OC.

I’m not blaming only the coaches. I’m saying Nuss missed the middle wide open a lot, we also threw deep a lot and some of those plays there was nobody in the middle. Maybe the WRs didn’t run the correct route but regardless, between all the factors play calling, Nuss, and WRs we had a bad game on offense. And although I'm not blaming the coaches for it all at a certain point they do take blame in not fixing whatever the players are doing on the field. It was a combination of everything.
