You could not have watched all of our games and honestly believe that. They are winning games despite of Nuss right now. I hope he turns it around/picks it up, but I have a hard time seeing it happening.

or playoff at worst.
We're at #10 right now with the toughest part of the schedule remaining. Safe to say we could get in with two losses but not with three.
I can't with confidence say that we will go 3-1 vs Vandy, AtM, Bama, and OU.
I know it's not the committee but the voters are showing that they realize we aren't a good team. We're where we are at simply be default of record. Absolutely no style points at all and just look like we aren't going to do anything special.

The two ints were bad. I totally disagree with you on the 1st one. It encapsulates the issue with Nuss.
quote:I think whatever injuries he inhabited him from being the risk taking gunslinger. I think he's on the way back to being more of the loose cannon who tries to make the wild plays, like the Durham throw. We haven't seen that all year.
If you aren’t going to manage the game & take what is there, you have to make that throw & similar plays like it.
Otherwise you are not a game manager nor are you this risk-taking gunslinger who produces big plays.
Again, despite that shitty throw and shitty end result to the possession, we wouldn't have been in that spot if Hilton makes that catch.
idk. I tend to be more optimistic. Especially when I see flashes.
I am extremely confident with the Trey'Dez development.

The average margin of victory was the lowest of any national championship team since that time. Less than 20 points per game. I’ll give you to rushing was better than I remembered but I do not agree that they blew teams out other than the ones they should blow out.

Vincent, Carey, Broussard, AND Addai!
Addai even played some in the NFL. Our running game in 2003 was much better than currently. Our defense was better then too.
We ran for 200+ yards in all except 5 games...and we had 183 and 199 in 2 of those 5. Florida was the only team to hold LSU under 100 yards rushing that season. Conversely, LSU hasn't had a game this season where we've rushed for CLOSE to 200 yards.

Both the Nuss INTs were awful. The airmailed first one he didn't even have pressure on him he just overthrew it. The second one was just awful decision making. He's lucky that DB didn't undercut play that right because if he did he might've INT it straight for 6 points if he was running full speed when he caught it.
Nuss is a headcase and his own worst enemy. It's not all him, but he's a big problem for the offense right now. It's a trickle effect. His OL is so terrible they stay in his head at how much he distrusts them so he gets happy feet. Same can be said for WRs like Hilton who constantly hurt the offense. He has no trust in them which is why he probably also threw the first INT because it was right after the big deep ball drop by Hilton. He's trying to do too much because his teammates around him suck so he sucks too.
I think TAMU is going to devour this offense when they come over. They have a really good defense and this offense sucks even against bad/mediocre defenses.

Nuss has been a nightmare this year. Looks like he is feeling better, but he is just not prepared enough. Combine that with the 7 receiver rotation and he is ill prepared and not in timing with his receivers due to the rotation. The offense has just been a complete cluster, and it's ok to admit that.

You've shite on the LSU defense despite them being about twice as good as the "really good" A&M defense.

Right, we needed to see like a 20% improvement for lsu to position themselves for some hardware, and he’s had like a 30% regression instead. It’s sad for a 5th year player.

I can tell you haven't watched TAMU lately if you think this. The past 4 weeks they've put up one of the best third down defense in the conference. Teams have converted like a grand total of 2 on them or some crazy number like that. They've gotten much better as the season has went along and that team made Nuss look horrible last year. Right now they are the best looking team in SEC on a week-to-week basis looking at improvements. Their major problem is how bad is Moss hurt because their offense sputtered when he went out. If he's significantly hurt, they're in trouble. Elko is an underrated coach and will probably be up for the Penn State job.
What you seem to fail to equate here is watching teams to see improvement each week -- which is what teams should do, get better. TAMU has gotten better as the season has gone along. LSU has shown very little, if any improvement this season especially on offense. Even with the little you saw in SC they still have the exact same systematic issues cropping up that have plagued them all season and a major symptom is Nuss just sucks. He's probably not going to "figure it out" because it is the same problem he had here his entire time. It's only worse now because his OL is terrible. Not good combinations to have.
Even against SC where they finally moved the ball they still found a way to try to lose the game and did everything they could to help a bad team come back to win.

LSU 2003 avg. margin of victory: 23.8
LSU 2019 avg. margin of victory: 26.5
Would you say the 2019 team blew out teams? 2.7 points is not much of a difference.

If you think we'll win a playoff game scoring 20 points per game .....

Nuss better thank god that he landed on that fumble on the goaline.
Posted on 10/13/25 at 1:49 pm to louisianamotocross
He looked a lot better overall Saturday, kinda like his upper body injury isn’t hampering his arm strength anymore. He has to quit throwing bad picks but WRs like Hilton have to start helping him out some too. It’s bad enough that he’s not aggressive at all and can’t make a contested catch to save his life but he absolutely cannot be dropping deep ball dimes right in his hands.
Posted on 10/13/25 at 2:12 pm to lsucoonass
3 dropped passes. Thats all we had. Stop acting like WRs are dropping 10-20 balls out there.

They blew out some teams and had close games against BAD teams. With the offense that year it did put the defense on the field a lot. Texas was bad that year and it was a nail
Biter. Vandy was bad that year and other than the first quarter out played us. Auburn wasn’t world beaters and we only got them by 3.

Nussmeier’s decisions have been, at times, poor, not what one expects from a fifth year senior.

goal line int Saturday
that wasn't even his worse interception
Posted on 10/13/25 at 3:30 pm to louisianamotocross
The issue isn’t just one lone boneheaded play. He makes decisions like that multiple times a game. He doesn’t seem to have improved the thing he needed to improve the most: decision-making. Simply put, he makes really poor decisions through games that will cost us in coming games. He missed people who were open Saturday on multiple plays. The INT is a great example of this. The announcer said he should’ve read the safety and then threw to 12, who was the corner receiver running open for an easy TD. Instead, he read the linebacker, not the safety, and when the linebacker blitzed, he thought the middle was open and threw it. He read the wrong player, decision-making, and created a huge turnover that could’ve cost us the game. We have 3-4 more games where those type of decisions will determine winning or losing. Sadly, he hasn’t shown any consistency that would make me believe we will win those 3-4 games. Hopefully I am wrong but I wouldn’t be shocked if we lose our next 3 games or 2 of 3 and then lose to OU

Yes that pick was in to layered coverage....watch his delivery and the ball sail.
It's a mistake a guy at his age and stage should not make. He sees the coverage....and still throws the ball there.
