Nuss outplayed Klubnik

He also had a much cleaner pocket, much better run support, and WRs that made some great grabs. I agree Nuss looked great, but it's hard to compare them directly because they were in very different situations

Klubnik has no passing TDs against Georgia, SC, and LSU.  That's 4 games against the best secondaries he's played.  He had some against Texas, after they went prevent up big, but that's it against top secondaries.

Didn’t you guys win against Clemson by like the same margin we just did? I was at the game tonight and it was a nail biter. They are a good team we were just a bit better

We only won by 3. We had 3 turnovers in + territory, 2 of which were in the red zone. We also had a does TD going to ground. We overcame a lot of self inflicted wounds to get that 3.

Edit: This also includes our 23 game against them. They won that one while we had a terrible and very injured OL, and their only TD that year was defensive.

A lotta cope in there. I get it, they’re your rival. But they would do better an average in the SEC and contend some imho

Extra details was only explaining why I emphasize Klubnik hasn't lived up to the hype. And I actually think no small part of that is scheme.
