Nuss’ running ability?

What is his ceiling here? Can he be a threat similar to Burrow or is he strictly a pocket passer?

He has quick-twitch ability, and it looks like his quick feet would lead to success scrambling, but he hasn't shown it.
I haven't seen Nuss' mind catch up to the game. He has not shown that calm mastery of the pocket that Jayden and Burrow showed. But hey, those guys have Heisman trophies.

We haven’t seen enough of him in a real game with starters to know.

defenses will not fear him running.

He scrambles or moves in the pocket for receivers to uncover. He will rarely run for yardage, but he may take off if a play completely breaks down or there is a clear open space. In the last 2 seasons he's attempted 117 passes and been sacked once.
From his recruiting profile. It's actually pretty accurate.
quote:
Adequate height with an average frame. Should be able to get north of 200 pounds. Provides outstanding production against strong competition at Texas 6A level. Accurate passer to all levels. Shows good touch on timing routes and other deep throws outside the numbers. Flashes playmaking ability to make impressive off-schedule throws under pressure. That translates not only in game situations, but select 7-on-7 environments as well. Pro-style but quick-footed and shows ability to make first rusher miss to extend play. Encouraging ability to throw on the run. Physical ceiling may be limited. Ball gets out fairly quickly, but tightening the delivery will help. Occasionally takes unnecessary chances. Talented QB with gunslinger mentality and great football pedigree. Among the top Texas QB's in 2021 class. Projects to high-major level with possibility for long-term NFL Draft potential.

A guy posted a gif of his in the pocket mobility. It looked a lot like JB. He eluded first defender, set up 2nd defender to miss, and threw a bomb for a TD. If Sloan and Denbrock can get him zoned in, the kid won’t disappoint us.

Hes always been mobile but hes not going to be someone who gets consistent QB runs called. He is elusive to escape pressure keep his eyes down field and deliver an off scripted play. He could be used for 1 zone read pull or QB draw a game in the right situation but he is not a sitting duck, hes mobile just not a true "Dual threat."

Reminds me of a Flynn or Mauck. Not as much of a threat to run as Burrow, but athletic enough to pick up yards.

He will run to extend plays if he has to. More like Burrow. LSU will have a great running game next year with the studs we have in the backfield. So it will not be a throw first offense. LSU will run more next year. We have a great RB room. It is time for them to shine behind this great OL we have and deep also.

Have y’all not watched him when he’s played? He has great escapability in the pocket but keeps looking downfield to launch the ball instead of running it himself

He is a better runner than people realize.
When he is running the offense full time he will use his legs and surprise alot of people.
In the past the only times he really got in the games was garbage time cleanup where he wanted to showcase his arm. Running was never with intent other than to keep the play alive while always looking down field.
Ole boy can move. Be excited

The jury is still out on Nuss's running ability. We'll find out more after the bowl game
Posted on 12/19/23 at 8:20 am to STEVED00
When I watch him play I can't help but think of Baker Mayfield at OU. Their throwing style, scrambling in the pocket, willingness to take risks all look identical. Mayfield was probably a bit faster as a runner, but I think Nussmeier is good enough to pick up 10-15 yards if need be.

He's not going to rush for 1,000 yards, but he has plenty of athleticism. He has shown the ability to escape the pocket and extend plays with his legs, especially in the SECCG last year. I'm interested to see how Denbrock adjusts his playcalling to his new QB's strengths because it was very lack luster when Nuss had to come in as relief.

He kind of reminds me of a Baker Mayfield in terms of mobility.
Posted on 12/19/23 at 8:38 am to STEVED00
Much like Gavin Grey, he has raced Blue and beat him!!!
Posted on 12/19/23 at 8:49 am to STEVED00
The important thing is he can "throw on the run". A highly undervalued trait for QBs IMO.
Posted on 12/19/23 at 9:44 am to STEVED00
He will be a traditional QB with the ability to scramble for a 3rd and short to medium or find the open receiver while moving out the pocket. The running game will be left up to the RBs and LSU will get back to having a 1000 yard rusher.
Looking at the top 10 teams in the country and the teams contending for a championship a QB that is dependent on their ability to run is not something that is needed. With time as the #1 and game time reps he will get better at the important parts of being a QB which isn’t being able to run for a 1000 yards. It’s being able to see what the defense is doing presnap and adjust while finding the open receiver.

It will be similar to Burrow in terms of speed. He ran well in HS at the highest level of Texas 6A football. He can move in the pocket and scramble for a first down much like JB did. He’s not going to torch defenses running like JD because he doesn’t have JD’s speed. JD has otherworldly speed though.
