Lbh we wouldn't have won this game if it wasn't for nussmeier he was phenomenal today and showed what hes capable of nice comeback win to end the season and finish with 10 wins again

The saints ought to skip daniels and wait on nuss.

[@ghostwalker89]

This is hilarious. Daniels would have destroyed Wisconsin in the first half. Sure, they would have gotten their 14, but it would have been 28-14 at the half with Daniels. Would have been 42-28 going into the 4th and 52-31 to finish the game. Nuss played incredibly bad in the first half. It was a great 2nd half by him though. I respect that.

[@vastsleep7152]

As a Wisconsin fan, this loss hurt. But I know that we were major underdogs in this game to begin with so it’s impressive that we could go toe-to-toe with a top 15 team in the country. Great game. No disrespect to LSU whatsoever, but I think we could’ve won this game if our coaches weren’t “playing not to lose.” Fickell never went for it on 4th and short, and Longo played way too conservatively in the second half. But, LSU got it done and we couldn’t. Major props to LSU’s offense. Nussmeier looked really impressive throwing to his talented WRs, especially behind that great o-line. Maybe we can get a rematch in the 12-team playoff next year 🫡

[@soulessshadow5356]

[@taproom113]

Lifelong Tiger fan here. The purple jerseys with gold hats & pants is our traditional home uni (best lookin' uni's in college football according to several polls). For some stupid reason, we started allowing the opposing team to wear THEIR home uni's in OUR house while we wore our white 'away' jerseys, giving them a sense of 'home-field' tactical advantage. Did I mention STUPID! BK promised to give LSU Every advantage during his tenure ... he needs to return to the tradition of these uni's for our home games. Geaux Tighaz !!! ^v^

[@zackarycanestrini2608]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@taproom113 LSU’s traditional home jerseys are white. The tradition started after the 1958 national championship by coach Dietzel after LSU wore white jerseys at home and won a national championship that year. From 1958-1983 LSU wore white at home until the NCAA passed a rule against teams wearing white jerseys at home. After years of petitioning the NCAA the tigers were allowed to continue to tradition of wearing white jerseys at home for the 1995 season. First home game back in white an unranked tiger team beat #6 Alabama and the white home jersey tradition has lived on since. All four of LSU's national championships have been won wearjng white jerseys at home and it’s one of the many cool traditons that make LSU the history rich program that it is.
