He’s too fast and strong to just be lingering on the sideline.

He can catch and as recently as the bowl game his explosive ability was on display.

We can use him on the toss play that we used with John Emery in the usc game.
We can also use him on the short routes to the sideline and the angle route out the backfield but we have to get him the mix.

You are right. An injury to Williams and Durham and we're in real trouble. He's too talented to just wither away on the sideline.

Maybe he just isn’t that good right now. If was him I’d be thinking about losing 10 pounds and get some quickness back.

When Barry gets here next year, best role for Jackson will be picking up short yardage. He doesn't have the quick feet of Barry and Durham. But even for that role our lineman need to get better at run blocking schemes. Especially since we lose four of the next year.

It doesn't matter what it is, i know that his vision is lacking, but he really should be a bigger part of our already lackluster run game.

I agree something needs a tweak.

I personally think if Nuss ran the ball just a fraction more than zero, he would get eyes and not everyone key in on the back.

I mean for Gods sake, just be a little bit of a threat.

Nuss has thrown the ball 38, 37, 40, 44, 39, and 51 times. Don’t expect things to change.

IDK man, it seems like he has lost his burst...maybe a bit heavy? Power serves no purpose if you can't get going first. That play call on 4th down, bringing him in, then going lateral, what in the frick call was that?

With Berry coming in I’d say we lose him to portal possibly. Really hope I’m wrong here because he’s got so much potential.

100%. He doesn't even have to be successful. Just make the defense have to at least look at you.

The timing is off with him running the ball the last couple of games. It may not be his mistake. LSU isn’t going to change any linemen out to get him going.

He just needs a couple of good runs to get his confidence back.

This is a good point

They were blatantly leaving it wide open several times Saturday because they knew he wouldn’t run until he did

He hasn’t lost the burst….he doesn’t have anything to burst through….we need to learn how to run block….

Caden Duram had 37 yards rushing against Ole Miss…do you think he lost his burst too? No, he didn’t have any holes to run through…

Kaleb Jackson has had plenty of opportunities to "get it going"

Kaleb is awesome when he gets through the line and gets going but he struggles mightly with vision and seems to be very hesitant to the line of scrimmage. I am not sure why though.

Why doesn't Nuss run more? Does he not want to run? Do coaches tell him not to run? Run Nuss Run!

I still believe he has a role on this team. Hopefully Frank Wilson and the offensive coaches find a way to get him involved and productive in this offense because the kid is talented.

I don't think Sloan understand the running game. Plays are lame.
