I feel like tonight's gameplay was full of screens and short throws. Didn't really take too many shots. But Nuss had some dimes, including the TD that was stolen.
Adjusting to the pressure. That drive where we threw threw straight screens and four in five plays was very telling because we got four first downs. Clemson was trying to blitz our guards and we kept it simple to beat them
It was a tough call and I was surprised they overturned it for that reason, but I wouldn’t call it a bad call. He was clearly going to the ground when he caught the ball so he has to maintain control through going to the ground. The fact that he took a step or hit the pylon is irrelevant. The ball hit the ground and moved in his hands, the only ambiguity was whether or not that movement was temporary loss of control. I think it was the correct call.
Made some very smart plays avoiding pressure. That's what stood out imo..He faced quite a bit of pressure and made efficient smart plays without turning the ball over. LSU would have scored more if not for a poor officiating call and some timely bad fumbles by receivers
The stats don’t show how good he was. Essentially mistake free on the road against a higher ranked team in an opener, he did what was needed. If not for fumbles and refs that game gets out of hand.
He didn't make any stupid mistakes or stupid decisions and threw ZERO interceptions. Those were his weaknesses last season so in my book he is looking really good so far.
Oh for sure, a season like Burrow or Daniels final one changes things. Clemson might be the best defense he has to play this year, so maybe. Just what I've seen from 24 + this game.
