Nebraska 2 -0
- Thread starter GaRed
- Start date
Well Sanders isn't realistic as a QB for Nebraska. BUT if we had kept Thompson as the starter, I do think we'd be 2-0. And THAT was totally possible if the coaches didn't error in anointing Sims to be the starter and thus driving Thompson away. The Sims turnovers actually are on Rhule IMO, because he choose Sims who clearly had a turnover problem at Georgia Tech.
We’re 2-0 with my grandma that take a snap and not fumble
So you think Nebraska couldn't match Florida Atlantic's NIL money? No, he left because it was clear Rhule was going to make Sims the starter.
Casey was injured and the rest of the QBs were trash so they bought an insurance policy with Sims. Casey then leaves.
Sucks like when Gebbia left and we had no depth.
What you are saying is that we are 2-0 had we hired Deion rather than Rhule
I would stop being a Nebraska fan if Deion was ever hired
Well my take is that Thompson read the tea leaves that he just wasn't going to be the starter after he recovered from his injury. Too much fawning over Sims.
Pretty sure he was still a Nebraska when Mickey was hc… your woke posts are growing tiresome
Deion is that you? Are the Iowa coaches in the room with you?
I guess Rhule should have gotten 2 from the portal but I doubt that would have been effective.
That’s the disheartening thing is the transfers especially on offense for Nebraska have been a bust so far with exception of kemp and it sure looks like all of Colorados transfers are contributing in a positive way, which again is against The odds usually you can hope half of them contribute
Couple years ago, by all accounts we didn’t recruit prolific FCS passer Bailey Zappe, who went to Western Kentucky and threw 62 TDs vs 11 INTs, now backup for New England.
We also did not recruit FCS Cam Ward coming off 47 TDs vs 10 INTs, who went to Washington St. and threw 23 TDs vs 9 INTs.- (and currently leading vs. Wisconsin throwing 5 TDs in 1.5 games this year).
Casey Thompson was 17 TDs vs 10 INTs last year for reference, and he threw 5 TDs and 1 INT last week.
Zane Flores threw 31 TDs vs 7 INTs last year- we passed.
Jeff Sims is 1 TD vs 4 INTs plus 2.5 fumbles this year.
For his career he is 31 TDs vs 27 INTs.
Adrian Martinez career was 45 TDs vs 30 INTs at NEB.
We keep hitching our wagon to a pattern of poor TD to turnover ratios.
I know we wanted to be a running team, but there are other options year in and year out who know how to score points and take care of the ball if you give them a chance.
…..And you can still run the ball.
