Just saw where Purdy and Sims both lost their QB battles and will be carrying clipboards this season. So all of last season's QBs will be backups this season.
Hardly a surprise. Last year's QB play was the difference between a winning season and a 5-7 season (yet despite those horrible turnover issues all but 1 of those 7 losses were still competitive). Those QB turnovers were just absolute gut-wrenching killers last year BUT it's time to move on this year with better QB performance. Think by now we've already covered and analyzed every possible aspect from last year so it's time to bury those problems from last year.
 
So you think Nebraska going to show any of their hand before the Colorado game?
38 seems little high for a program that hasn’t scored more than that only 7 times in 5 years.

UTEP may not even get in the end zone…
I do...NU needs to run the plays that they are going to also run against "good teams"

It is not like one game on film is going to really reveal all that much anyway.

tbf, Haarberg wasn't developed much as a QB in HS, had a coach on his way to being fired in first year, and was ghosted by his coach the next. Then last year he was pressed into service regardless of the fact he wasn't really ready to operate the passing aspects of the playbook. They shrunk the playbook to passes that would work for him and added some option offense, which suited his skills. In reality, Ron Brown and TO were probably as responsible for the offensive production we did get as much as Satt and Rhule.
Raiola and Kaelin are more suited to do the things Satt and Rhule want done.

I understand all the reasons HH is who he is. I won't even debate that. All I'm saying is "he is who he is" I guess. Imo that's not a legit D1 QB. Great kid for sure but he doesn't inspire confidence from me to be perfectly honest. Simply based on what I've seen and what I think our coaches wanna run.

Unless HH is named the starter, the debate about his QB skills doesn't really matter any more. It's been done thoroughly already and now it's like beating a dead horse at this point. They will find a role for HH that fits his talents and gets him on the field but it is NOT the starting QB.
