Nuss not bailing and running

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the QB room to see wtf is being said in there. Kid has 5-8 yards almost every other play where he could tuck, run, and slide. I’ve never seen an RPO designed around a QB won’t can’t or won’t run.
It’s impressive in stupidity. Either he’s too bull-headed or afraid to run, or he just genuinely doesn’t have the awareness. I’m not sure what’s worse.
But also: wtf are the coaches doing when they watch tape?

What is your definition of a RPO

Yeah fair enough. We don’t really run a true RPO.

LSU doesn't run a base RPO this year. It's a shotgun mixed in with some zone reads where our QB is scared of actually utilizing one or 2 reads to keep the D honest. And in the 2nd half it comes back to bite us against good opponents.

Yeah so is he actually scared, oblivious, or resistant to running? Like I genuinely can’t figure out what it is.

It's a read option, not an rpo. But the point still stands. Seems crazy for it to be your primary running play When the quarterback never pulls it. I'm sure the people who make all the money have some reason for that, but for the average fan like me, I can't make it make sense.

D all of the above. He honestly plays the game like an NFL journeyman backup QB at times which might have been instilled by his dad honestly. I'm reaching of course but trying to figure it out as well. Saw this in the Wisconsin game last year as well and knew it would be a preview to this year against solid opponents on the road.

You guys know there are QBs that keep on RPOs right? There are variations where a qb keeps.
Jayden had an RPO play where he would either hand it off to a rb, throw to Taylor on the flat, or keep it and run the hills.

Yeah it seems like he’s so desperate for fireworks that he makes the wrong read / decision often…as if he has something to prove rather than letting the game come to him. It’s so frustrating.

Nuss has slow feet and can NOT run the RPO because he can not fake the RB up the middle because he can not run. He has slow feet.

So many people confuse RPO with read option. They are not the same. Read option is what aTm ran with Reed last night and you have to have a running QB
RPO is a run pass option but it doesn’t mean the QB is the “run” option. It’s usually the tailback.
But your point the Nuss just refuses to take easy yards by running when it’s wide open continues to be one of his boogers poor decision making issues.

Whether you call it a RPO or not, it's either a pass or the SAME run play every time where the QB NEVER runs. That can't work.
