Yeah, It will be real interesting to see what Rhule does with Sims when he gets healthy. Rhule has to be smart enough to know that a game manager like HH is a better option than a turnover machine like Sims if you want to win games ..
all that’s gonna do is transfer the scapegoat from Sims to the OL. At the end of the day this team is flawed in multiple areas.
 
Now the real question is can Rhule overcome the program and NOT get fucking stupid stubborn about Sims and feel like he needs to put those presumptious Nebraska fans in their place after we will all be clamoring for HH to get the job.
My guess is that Rhule will feel like Haarberg had it easier - getting his start at home vs a not great opponent, while Sims had to start his NU career on the road vs two P5 teams.

My prediction is that Rhule feels like Sims would have calmed down if his first 2 starts were at home vs Meatball State, etc.

I actually think Rhule will say this very line in a press conference when he's justifying Sims being the starter for the Michigan game. (but oddly enough the MICH game brings Sims right back to high pressure-land, which he doesn't do well in). So...buckle up for a frustrating ride, fans.

It definitely is .. from SATT, OL, to WR that can't stretch the field, it's just ugly. That said, don't make your offense even worse by putting in a turnover machine at QB.
 
Eh, might as well. Clock was stopped already and you had the timeout. Might as well burn it to show your players you will fight for them on those calls.
They lost any remaining challenges for the rest of the game over a possible 6-yard-gain.
