And if we win

I can’t believe that “Coach Prime” thought that targeting call on his son was ridiculous (or something to that effect) That hit was the definition of targeting!

Dear Lord,

YES! HUSKERS FOR THE WIN! 

COLEMAN! Nice.

But why? Like, not to be a punk but he is currently an NCAA Div 1 quarterback. To say, “Let’s get him a quarterback coach to help teach him how to throw correctly and with any degree of accuracy,” is hilarious to me. That’s basic QB skills. Should have them by now. That’s not a thing we “start developing as a Jr in college,” thing. There are thousands of high school quarterbacks that need less than that and will never get a sniff at this level. He’s literally a ground up build at this point and I have NO idea why he’s on a scholly here. He could spend 2 full years just developing reads and field vision and still be lacking. That doesn’t even start to address his innate flawed mechanics which also would take multiple years to correct. 
 

He’s out of time for NU to save him as a QB. He’s a guy we use only because there is nobody else and cutting him in the off-season was not the way Rhule was gonna win the state. He can transfer down a few levels and have loads of fun running around and slinging yard ball for Wayne. 
 

From NU’s perspective, he’s an easy guy to recruit over this off-season and that is the path you take because such fewer resources needed to put into the next guy who already knows how to not throw sidearm and get the ball within 4 yards of his receiver. It’s business and Haarberg leaves you little upside return on investment at this time. 

I think my point is this IF he wasn’t throwing that way before but just recently adopted that form could it be unlearned? My husband said the same thing as you and I agreed until I heard that that wasn’t how he used to throw. Interesting. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it.

Yep. And we will see that in 13 days when we get Simms back.  For better or for worse. 

I hope not.

He doesn't throw sidearm every pass attempt so I think it probably is correctable.

I stand corrected. I listened to Adam Carriker’s reaction to the game against Illinois and he said he had watched HH as a freshman and that HH did not always throw that sidearm way so I agree with you that he can be corrected. Do we have a quarterback coach? If a really good quarterback coach could take HH under his wing and teach him not only correct form but also how to increase his accuracy.

Remember the Kansas coach years ago? He makes Illinois’s look skinny. 

That’s not funny to me considering the loss our family just suffered.

At some point there will be a middle backer that can actually pick off a ball against HH. I think in every start there has been a ball thrown across the middle that he completely misses the linebacker dropping back into coverage and he throws right to them. Haarberg needs to learn how to read a defense a bit better.  Zone defense confounds him to no end.

 

He also looks right at the person he’s throwing to but that side arm throw is just awful and unfortunately I don’t think you can correct that?

I learned that:

-Our team needs discipline offensively. Too many mistakes. 
-Many times our boys were out of position. Play your position!

-Game management was iffy. Burning up all of your time outs that quickly? 
-DEFENSE PLAYED ALL 4 QUARTERS! Loved it. 
-Nebraska fans (myself included) continue to be so fickle. I was praising Grant’s performance up and down until he made a mistake. Tristan A. made great strides last night but biy did we jump his butt when he missed. He’s Freshman. He will settle in with experience. Same with HH. The kid is a sophomore who was thrown into a situation with very little prep. He needs patience and experience. However, he’s not the guy. 
-A wins a win. GBR! 
P.S. Fir those who are pooh Pooh I g the Let us Pray thread? I’m blowing a giant raspberry at you!

Did ilini lose a few players?  I think Belinda ate them.  He is huge! 

He is dangerously overweight. He needs to take some time off and get healthy. We just lost our sister in law to a heart attack. She weighed about as much as Coach Belima does. Sad. (But I am so glad we won!)

GAME BALL TO THE DEFENSE!!’

I may faint! The Refs called holding on Illinois 

I would really like for these refs to wake up and start calling holding on Illinois! They had one of our guys in a choke hold

One more time! TOUCHDOWN HUSKERS!
