After LSU’s win over the South Carolina Gamecocks, students shared their take on LSU’s offensive performance Saturday night in Death Valley.
First Question: Give me one word to describe the offensive performance Saturday night and why?
“I would say putrid,” senior Brady Ward said. “We could barely move the ball down the field and the only reason we got the ball down the field was because of busted coverages on South Carolina’s defensive part. It was just a very slow offense. We can’t block, we can’t run the ball and that’s all because of our offensive line.”
“I’d say it was inconsistent,” junior Henry Fink said. “It felt like some plays they looked great and they looked like a National Championship team and then other plays whether they were getting overthrown or underthrowned, Nussmier wasn’t doing what I felt was 110%. He wasn’t the greatest on Saturday.”
“I say boring,” junior Jackson Langford said. “I think LSU’s offense is just kind of boring to watch. I don’t get excited when I go watch the games. I don’t get excited watching my T.V. I think Garrett Nussmier is a boring quarterback to watch. I hate saying it, but that;’s my honest answer.”
Second Question: What do You think they need to change up going against Vanderbilt?
“It’s going to be hard to stop Diego Pavio,” Ward said. “He’s a very good quarterback. He can use his legs, he can throw the ball. He’s a very good quarterback. Offensively, we’d gotta figure out how to run the ball, control the clock, keep time possession and find a way to score points.”
“The o-line needs to improve,” Fink said. “Overall Garrett Nussmeier his ability to read the defense is still struggling and lacking and then also the run game.”
“The run game is really weak right now compared to last year where it felt pretty strong at least towards the end of the season. I think if they can improve those things, then they’ll be doing a little bit better.”
“I think the passing game just needs to get better,” Langford said. “I don’t know how that starts. Our o-line needs to improve, which is our biggest thing. Our run game gets stopped by our o-line by not making enough holes for our running backs. Our receivers will be open and Nussmier would overthrow or just not get it there.”
Tune in Saturday morning where LSU will be taking on Vanderbilt at 11 a.m.
