Will you at least come to the game?

cajunmud•17 months

Just read where he is coming to the game...that's good.

Mouche337•17 months

I really thought he'd play to hit that 5K passing mark. But I understand putting your career first. Nothing else to prove. Interested to see the gameplan with Nuss as the full-time starter. Good early preview of next year's passing game.

Not many Heisman winners playing in a meaningless bowl. I don’t blame him.

CDawson•17 months

Good point, but its not more "meaningless" than the last regular season game so why not quit before that one? Or the one before the minute you know you can't win a Natty?

CDawson•17 months

Great year and great player. But change the headline to "quit". This "opt out" wording is for coverage. Call it what it is.

Honestly shocked me. But he gave us his all and I'll route for him no matter where he goes. Good luck!

tigerpawl•17 months

This is perfect. Nuss will light 'em up and end the season on a high note for 2024.
Note to self: We still need RBs.

I would have enjoyed seeing him play one last time but this is best for all involved.

It gives Nuss a great chance to get a leg up on the competition next year.
