Probably gets a pay raise and a good shot to start in 26. Being lsu qb has been a good choice the last few years.

It said he totalled 1886 yards, so that's an easy mistake to make.

He’s not a dual threat

He had 69 carries for -12 yards but he’s black so you think he’s a runner lol


Someone in the other thread said he ran for 5 TDs?

I am interested if he ran in High School.

Seems like a really nice backup, but I don't see how anyone can assume he is your future starter.

Yep, but he will get some playing time this year and will likely be able to redshirt. Means he will have three years to play after

? Can we develop players?

Jayden Daniels was universally regarded as a bust before BK/Sloan

Would love to have a package for him in the run game at a minimum unless lsu tries to redshirt him


He’s not a big runner. He’s mobile for sure, but he’s not a dual threat guy really.

Because he’s black? Guess he doesn’t have any rushing touchdowns either huh. Moron

The last Van Buren to play football for us is an NFL hall of famer!

It’s hilarious. He’s got like 2 career runs in which he gained more than 10 yards and we’ve got guys on here yelling “make some wildcat packages for him!”. For comparison, Nuss had 4 games this year with runs of 10+ yards.

Guess he didn’t have a rushing td against ole miss.

Never said he was a coveted rusher. We can’t have Nuss getting banged up. Let him in on some short yardage and he has the arm to throw as well.

Ask any state fan and they’d agree with this

The question is whether he is mobile, not whether he is a running QB.
I do not care if Nuss is a runner/ dual threat, but i do care that he is not mobile enough to keep passing plays alive .when he loses his pocket There's a big difference.

He’s not a runner like Jayden Daniels, but he’s very athletic and isn’t scared to run.

Probably more like Burrow from a running standpoint.

He definitely has some wheels.
