After a half.  Sims or Haarberg?

Probably HH just because of less self immolation

That wind is specific to the stadium. You cannot see it or feel it anywhere else. Part of the excuse if we end up losing.

I didn't see the towel hanging on Haarberg moving at all either. 

 

[knapplc]

We've held them to 58 yards of offense. Three yards rushing.

If our offense wasn't hot garbage, we'd be up by 30 right now.

 

[Undone]

Honestly, Haarberg showing a ton of poise.

 

[3gunhusker]

Our running game is nowhere

 

[chamrocck]

HH, he has a good rhythm with Fidone. He is managing the game. 

 

[ndobney]

HH is the type of qb we need right now. With this line we just need to take what the defense gives us. Against a big ten defense it’s not going to be pretty though

Let’s be honest. It looks like the offense has more respect for Haarberg than for Sims. Don’t get me wrong, our offense is a mess and they do not threaten a baby rabbit but at least the offense is not turning the ball over on every possession. One lost fumble is an improvement if we don’t get more in second half. Our defense is good to keep us in every game but we need our offense to sustain drives and not go three and out 50% of the time.

I think our D has more respect for him. It's nice there's a chance for at least four plays before you're back on the field.

 

[Big Red Viking]

Keep Tommi Hill on the bench

 

[Stone Cold]

I think if Double H can keep his mits on the ball hes QB1.  You can build a line and qb play from this.

 

[Crusader Husker]

Let's be honest.  Our OL is consistent.  They block for no one.

Let's hope our O can get to the level of mediocrity.  If we were there?  We are 1-1, or maybe 2-0.

If any of you think Sims won't start again when healthy, I have news for ya.

Let us enjoy this, man

You are probably right and with Sims the offense does have the potential to be more dangerous if they clean up the TO. But that’s obviously a big if
