Nussmeier was a backup to the Heisman the last 2 seasons. He's got an elite arm and can make every throw on the field. He'll have a better season than Dart.

I used stats that were averages rather than totals (other than rushing yards). Nuss wasn't particularly good per pass attempt last year. Dart was way better.

LSU didn't need an RB last year, but Jackson and Holly are both better than Diggs.
The next season that LSU doesn't have an elite WR group will be the first.

It's nice you thought that way, but your coach didn't. There's a reason why Diggs had 400 more yards than the guys you think were better. That was because your coaches thought he was the best option on your roster.

As for WR's, you have two guys with about 500 yards a game against SEC opponents in a season and a transfer who was productive... at Liberty. Ole Miss has 3 guys with 700+ WR yards playing against SEC opponents. They're better than you at WR.

As for LSU always being elite at WR... 2 years ago you had one WR with 1000 yards and only one other guy above 500. Year before that your top 2 WR had 509 and 502 yards respectively. Before that you had two guys in the 700's and everyone else in the 300's or worse. 2018 you had one guy at 875 and everyone else below 400 yards. 2017 you had one guy at 874, one at 331 and everyone else below 300. 2016 you had one guy at 563, one at 466 and everyone else below 300.

LSU has lots of years with mediocre WR output.

Well, Nuss has only had 1 start so far in his career. He went 31/45 for 3 touchdowns and 1 interception, so I'd say that's a pretty good start to his career. If he can continue those kinds of numbers it should be an easy 4500 yard/36 touchdown kind of season.

Well, they were true freshman, and I can guarantee you that Diggs will have no impact on the game this season.
