re: Why have Nuss’ Heisman Odds gotten worse?

Nus has slow feet and can not get away from the rush. He also can't run with the ball.

He doesn’t run, but he can. He has quick feet and moves well. I think his signature play, that shows off his athletic ability, is the third and ten completion to Taylor on the crucial last drive. He got flushed from his left and almost sacked; he scrambled away from that DE, showing good quickness; then he jump-threw across his body for the crucial first down.

His last two throws were good - not great - throws. The first of those two was a very good play, but the throw was where the defender could have made the play had he turned and looked back; it didn’t have to be. Had it been three yards farther downfield and a little to the right no defender would have been within a yard of it. The last throw was supposed to be back shoulder. It was underthrown properly, but it should have been closer to the sidelines. These are nit-picking very good plays just to compare them with this third-and-ten that was an elite play that showed off his arm and his athletic ability.
