Nebraska @ Minnesota

[CEB]

They said it. Pregame.

“Jeff Sims is the best player on the field, and he will make a play...“
1 out of 4 talking heads prefer Nebraska

His first Nebraska drive starts inside his own 1 yard line....

It looks like Rhule is starting to think of Sims as a RB.

0-fer passing with an INT

But averaging about 10 yards per carry.

Probably smart

Can’t watch—it’s terrible.

The more a QB runs, the worse he usually passes. Something about blows to the body seem to mess up throwing technique.

Sims is a great runner.

 

[mkemkay]

End zone INT to let Minn take a 3-0 lead into the half.

Sims is a talented runner but I'm not unhappy we've turned the page.

 

[bigrabbit]

Two ints in first half. Great runner but he taking a lot of hits running the ball.

 

[Techster]

Nebraska fans were extremely excited about Sims. Seems like the same QB he was at GT...elite weapon with his legs, but his passing leaves a lot to be desired. Probably one of the most physically talented QBs in the country, but I'm not sure he's a true passing QB on this level.

 

[UgaBlows]

He won’t last long running so much

He won’t last long running so much

After all the sacks he took after the half, his rushing numbers don’t look too fantastic anymore either.

That said, if their D keeps up, he’ll be a hero sooner or later

Would be shocked if he's still standing by mid-October as sad as it is to say. His game just doesn't lend itself to sustainability.

I do think he's a decent fit in the B1G...tonight's game looks like a classic B1G field position game but I only flipped it on in the 3rd.

I just keep thinking Sims has one more pick left in him.

Funny part about week one... kinda hard to tell if we’re watching two pretty good defenses or two pretty anemic offenses.

Sims looks the same.

Minn not playing like themselves. Not sure if that is Nb doing or not.

Agree. Minn not looking great especially offensively.

Maybe they can pull it together and give us some week 1 extra football

 

[WrexRacer]

Dumb to. Should have tried to draw Nb off.

 

[WrexRacer]

looked way out

 

[WrexRacer]

I am wrong. Long legs. good technique

Woah...
That’s gonna be close

Pretty incredible catch!
