Very Long Nuss Post

This is going to be a long Nuss post, and probably a large waste of time, but let's look at Nuss' stats and highlights with a few time stamps.

Now the above video is just Nuss highlights. Not his failures, but there are a few in here. Let's look at his stats just so we can have a baseline.


CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD INT
2022 52 84 61.9 800 9.5 5 4
2021 29 57 50.9 329 5.8 2 2

First 48 seconds are against Southern and New Mexico. Bunch of check downs really.

48 seconds- Nice deep pass, a bit overthrown.

54 seconds- Shallow out route. Better DB breaks this up, possible interception maybe pick 6. Results in a TD though.

1:18- Georgia Game- Nice play in traffic.

1:31- Double coverage, back up FRESHMAN Safety this should have been a pick. Results in a TD though.

1:54- Great throw. Double coverage, led his WR enough.

2:13- RISKY THROW. Back leg, falling away. Taylor makes a great play.

3:20- TERRIBLE THROW INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE. Absolutely getting picked, but backups are in the game.

3:40- Great throw

3:52- Back leg, falling away throw. Underthrown but WR makes a great play on it.

4:05- Nice spin out, nice throw to a Wide open WR.

4:35- High throw to Mayson.

Rest of the video- Purdue which we know wasn't much competition. Lot of outs, ins, shallow crosses. Plenty of YAC.

Nuss makes risky throws a lot of times. He's gotten away with it quite a few times, which only reinforces that mindset. If you want to know why he isn't starting, it's because BK values ball security most.
