Sims vs HH

[HuskerNation1]

Rhule's decision to go back to Sims given the 3 games we have seen this seen is mind boggling and has lowered my confidence in Rhule.  NIU is quite a bit better than LA Tech so Sims will need to help the team win by at least 30 points.

I don’t have a problem with Rhule putting him back ahead of HH. He shouldn’t lose the #1 job because of injury. But I will have a problem if he doesn’t get yanked after committing yet another unforced turnover. And I did have a problem with Rhule not pulling him from the CU game. I guess I’m willing to give them both another chance before getting too excited.

I would agree if Sims had just one game of high turnovers but we have seen that in both games.  Maybe Sims will magically approve but I am not confident.

 

Also, HH looks to be a much more accurate passer than Sims who has started 25 games. If Sims has not become a good passer in that timeframe, I am not confident he will learn that now.

NIU beat Boston College and LA Tech does not have a comparable win. Perhaps I am putting too much emphasis on the BC win, but I don't see LA tech being able to keep up with BC.

Oh I’m not confident Sims will get straightened out either. But I am hopeful that the coaches will be quicker to pull the plug on him after seeing HH handle some game action.

I have not seen that yet. Sims INTs were bad decisions more than inaccurate throws (outside of his first one against Minnesota), and neither of them have looked good on deep shots. This is fairly subjective, but the actual ball placement from Haarberg has been pretty bad IMO.

 

A few examples - Fidone's catch against Colorado should have been a pick, it needed to be inside and it was thrown high and outside. Washington had to make a really good play on his 3rd down conversion late against NIU, he had the DB boxed out and the throw was far enough behind him that it took a good adjustment and almost cost him the momentum needed to get the first down. Both have made good sideline throws.

BC is also terrible.  #111 in FPI and #83 in SP+.

 

And NIU lost to a FCS team (Southern Illinois).

NU's running the QB 20x a game.  Both are going to be needed.

Boston College barely escaped an FCS team, and lost to NIU.  I think the Florida State game is the outlier in those 3. I think LA Tech is better than NIU based on what I've seen to date.

Boston College is a team that should be in a G5 conference...

[walksalone]

Is Sims actually gonna start against La Tech???

[Head Coach Scott Frost]

I'm willing to believe Sims is slightly more accurate, slightly faster and all the rest, but he keeps fumbling snaps. It's not worth it, we need to run with HH

[Toe]

Too many of you didn't learn your lesson from McCaffrey Mania and it shows...

[Born N Bled Red]

HH starts at QB, Sim at RB, HH remains QB, occasionally we shift formations and Sims becomes wildcat qb that can run a pop pass if its there, we could also run an option pass and a halfback pass if the staff feels comfortable and Simms wants the opportunity to toss the ball once in a while. Unless Simms is blind to his own faults he's realized he's not an NFL QB and should be willing to try new roles to see how he could potentially make an NFL roster. Better QBs than Simms have had to change positions to play in the NFL.
