. You need to actually show you are willing to run. If all you ever do is escape the pocket to just to throw, teams will never be forced to drop a man from coverage. He needs to run a few times a game, even if it's just a few yards.

THIS! Nuss should be full speed ahead working on his running game if he wants to be extraordinarily successful at QB, re TOP LEVEL competition. That Michigan defense would be all over him like they did the far better runner Milroe.
Will be interesting to see how Penix handles that.

^^^^
THIS
I'd like to see him run with the same decisiveness as he throws it away.

He wasn’t running
Burrow averaged a first down each time he scrambled. Crazy stat. Nuss doesn't have to do this. He is mobile in the pocket, and he has enough speed to pick up a few yards on a scramble. I don't see him getting any designed runs other than zone read with a rare keep. What is more important is that he knows hits HOT reads and outlets.

Burrow was a dual threat QB recruit and ran for a shite ton of yards at LSU
Nuss is not that level of athlete when it comes to running. He is mobile enough though.

Burrow was damn mobile, quick and slippery. Took the sports media a while to pick up on it because his passing was so awesome.
I haven’t seen that level of mobility from Nuss yet, but he is mobile enough and likely moreso.

I don't want him running until we have a proven backup. He does fine, moving in the pocket to find a receiver.

They're all over milroe because he's a shitty QB that crumbles and makes mistakes with pressure.
Blitz a real pass threat and you leave people open.

Joe B’s runs won us a national championship.
Turning a 6 yard loss to even just a 4 yard gain is a sustainer.

Michigan is great on D, don't get me wrong.
But they could do this because Milroe is dogshit as a pocket passer. They just pinned their ears back and went after him, and tried to clog his running lanes

Oh no. Our fans will expect Hershel Walker running ability at QB now.

Burrow averaged about 28 yards rushing per game over two seasons at LSU.
Perhaps your definition of "shite ton" is different than mine.

It`s not about running,it`s about WHEN to run..

That comes with experience. He certainly has the ability to run when needed. He's not a running QB, but neither was Burrow.
Nuss is more athletic than Quinn Ewers and he rushed for 54 yards last night. Ewers also rushed for 5 TDs this season.

He might even be as mobile as Mett

Nuss will get more comfortable each game he plays . I hope

In pocket mobility, maybe. As a threat to run when the pocket breaks down, not even close.
Saw a interview with him a few days ago and they asked him how fast he was. He said when they clocked everyone in fall camp he came in at 21 mph.

In an interview Nuss said he hit 21mph during the summer
