We have a qb. This kid is flat out a leader.
HH is special. He has the "it" factor.
- Thread starter HuskerDana
- Start date
Doesn’t it make you question the staff’s ability to evaluate qb play?
They've been the first staff in three staffs to recognize his potential. So what's your point exactly??
Sure hope so. That entire side of the ball has some work to do, but I’m here for it.
Everyone hates Riley but Janovich would have never been known if not for him
He plays smart. That’s something nice to see.
A pretty darn good half of football this half. That’s a start.
They decided in January Sims was going to be the starter and ignored the results
We love our Nebraska kids, they just get it.
Last week I said it would make me question their ability to do that. I actually was wrong there.
Sometimes you find a guy by accident. Don't forget, if Drew Bledsoe doesn't go down, do we ever see a kid named Tom Brady step up in that first season? Sometimes you don't find out that a kid has that it factor until they take their chance and just refuse to give the ball back.
Edit: I am NOT comparing HH to TB. Just using that example.
Lol he played well but let's pimp the brakes.
What fvcking good is a qb who can’t take care of the ball? I don’t give a rats ass what type of physical talent you have, if you can’t take care of the ball, you aren’t calling plays in my huddle.
Definitely not. Just not sure about the supposed "it" factor as mentioned. He did what he needed to do and I'll take that any day of the week.
Haarberg's the only QB on the roster who committed to NU out of high school
he is living his dream
no reason to cut it short, Coach
he's spent every second of every day with all the young kids who are giving everything they have to turn the tides of this program
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Leadership factor. Certainty. Judgement calls. All trump's sheer athleticism.
Hopefully Haarberg will end up being our Charlie Brewer
I'm not sure you understand what an "it" factor even is. I am not calling HH the greatest player in college football. But he certainly has that factor that will get the team to follow him.
How long before the word "serviceable" is used...? Or did I miss it...
HH looks like a pretty damn good athlete to me.
Unofficial 7th team of the B1G West. We play like that at Minnesota, we win easily. Possibly against CU as well.
I'd go with Haarberg for the sole reason that they looked significantly more competent the longer the game went on. Nebraska hasn't looked competent for even a short while through the first 2.5 games.
every great journey begins with a single step
we just saw Rhule's Nebraska team's first step
i just call it mentality. he acted and played like he'd been there. took success and failure in stride and delivered in spades. alot to build on going forward.
considering his last start was for Kearney Catholic, this is a tremendous springboard
It makes sense, Sims has more big play ability. But, if HH can be steady and is better in the TO category, then he may be the guy. Whoever can get us to a bowl game, I don’t care.
These are my sentiments too.. Don’t care if it’s HH or Sims we need to get to a bowl game and preferably before the Ioway game..
The “IT” factor is what I got from the game also.
I felt Haarberg’s drive to win. He’s gonna put it all out there, he seemed dialed in and focused.
OL still needs to play much better, and Haarberg needs to continue to prove he can throw with accuracy (mostly great throws vs NIU).
“If” HH leads us to bowl eligibility, holy buckets would that be an incredible comeback story.
Not that it matters, but my father is from Kearney… there’s a nice touch of hometown hero there.
p.s. Cheers to our defense.

Meh it's hard in football QB is a tough spot. Tom Brady's talent was never seen. Joe Ganz no one believed in him. Etc. Etc. Also u have guys who suck in practice but do well in games.
Sims throws a better looking ball and has more natural arm talent. HH is a gamer with more physicality and acceleration. Depends on what we need.
I think if it was close they were going to go with sims. I just think Sims was not making those mistakes in camp. I think if anything it shows the staffs weakness to 1 listen to their friend who sucked at GT. And their overconfidence that they could turn this athlete who lost a lot of games into a winner.
