College football has become a swinging door of opportunity. Don't let the knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!

Thomas Wright

Amen Scott … probably should’ve never been playing for us in the first place then ! Who wants unloyal (especially Nebr. native) players anyway …. Can’t wait til kick their A$$ when we play against em ! lolololol

Linda Ogren

Only one player seen time, so should get better

Wade Williams

That's just part of the deal now with the portal, particularly after a coaching change. People may not care too much for it but we better all get used to it because it's not going anywhere.

Jerry Johnson

If they enter transfer portal, they are not willing to work, and play tough. Let them go elsewhere

Dan Benedict

The new staff needs the freedom to get the players that will fit their system. The kids that leave or stay away are no guarantees either.

john brandon

Rhule only wants young men who wish to be at Nebraska ... as simple as that.

Mike Knust

It's the new era that College Sports is in. It happens to every team. It's like NFL free-agency free for all.

Tom Hedlund

They chose to leave, and that's fine. We want players who want to be at Nebraska.

Patrick O'Brien

Coach Rhule needs to build his own team. Players that transfer shouldn't be there anyway.

Stuart Fagan

This is normal for a coaching change. I get it. But I do think that they'll regret leaving as time passes.

James Wyatt

We will find other players who will want to play for Nebraska and all the new coaches! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!

Michael Graham

None of them will end up trading up.

Larry Smith

In the spring the head coach and assistants will start their work. They, in effect, will ride the horse upon which they came, the players on the field. It is up to the coaches to either develop those players or to fail. We will see the result in August.

Brian Machan

With the coaching changes, its only prudent for players to re-evaluate their decisions to make sure its best fit for them. If I was a father of a player, i would encourage the re-evaluation process and if they re-commit, Great! Otherwise best of luck to both sides.

Tim Brunswick

Not as of today ( 12/15/22)...But time will tell..Ask us in another 3 weeks...

Gene Baker

I have a lot of confidence in Matt Rhule. And his ability to develop players.

Who's the better choice at QB for Nebraska against Louisiana Tech, Heinrich Haarberg or Jeff Sims?

Michael Hoffart

He needs to start this week for sure. Make it a true competition going into Michigan and set ourselves up to win the most of our BIG10 schedule as possible.

Tim N

Pretty Obvious. Great defense. He's physically crushing people. He's accurate. Takes care of the ball. Motivates team. Everyone is locked into him. I could keep going....

Mike Hulinsky

Proven to take better care of football

Bill Lyons

i have eyes and am a sentient being

James Stiver

Seemed to have managed the last game with confidence and should get better as time goes on!

Curtis Graeve

Simple. He doesn't turn it over!

Curtis Graeve

Just a side note. Sims is a great athlete. Teach him the finer points of being a WR and let him run with them! Big Bodied receivers are always great for a QB.

Doug Einsel

He shows better decision making. Bigger in size. Driven to perform. Less turnovers and he has a longer future at NU.

DrHusker66

He needs more time playing this position in game situations. I do think both should play get the rust off of Sims and give him confidence going into Michigan.

John Samson

High ankle sprain versus LA Tech. If Sims is going to be Rhule's guy, he needs to be healthy for Big 10 play. Let Haarberg get the experience while Sims heals.

Robert Lloyd

I love both QBs but must vote for Heinrich as he played lights out and with the so needed clean play protecting the ball. I do believe we can win also with Jeff and our players would have to just follow him looking for the ball coming loose. We can do that too. It's a team.

Ron Staebell

Backup QB is always the most popular player on the team, but in this case it makes sense. He's performed, Sims hasn't

Seth Hyberger

Haarberg is not turnover prone.

David Noe

Great applebee doesn't turn the ball over

Lyle Urbanec

Turnovers

Terry Darnall

He has a quarterback, mentality, poised, and decisive!

Power Glide

Harberg reminds me so much of Brooke Berringer. A journeyman QB

regan zeller

not turning to ball over is VERY important. Although HH had a couple passes that were probably ill advised we were able to come out on top.

John Whiteley

Haarberg has the hot hand now, but won't last long if he continues to take unnecessary hits when running. They'll need both QBs throughout the season.

John Fitzgerald

We need steadiness more than talent. Inconsistent play & turnovers at QB have cost us countless games 8 years+,

Thomas Duncan

I would move Sims to receiver, use his skills there. Haarberg looks to be a good fit at QB and will get better with more reps.

Richard Hein

He didn't turnover the ball

Omar Barnes

He is a better game manager which is what we need right now.

Linda Ogren

NEEDS to play better taking care football, faster, reads receivers, just what QB should be. Ron

Chad Alexander

SIMS IS FREAKING HORRIBLE!!

Bob Flanagan

TCU's defense sucks ... NU HAS a physical and fast defense .... that'll be the difference in this game ... we'll pound the rock on them and Sims will throw more short and quick passes so I say 27-23 NU

Paul Nielsen

College ball still emotional. Colorado coming off big win over a questionable defense, NU coming off winnable loss against good defense and a better offense than is being talked about. GBR

James Stiver

If we play good defense and run the football with controlling the clock we should come out with a victory!

Michael Hoffart

I would like to believe that our D can come up big and keep their playmakers from gashing us. If we can get pressure on their QB I think we stand a good chance. Our run game should be able to churn clock and keep the ball out of their hands.

Doug Einsel

There was no D in the CU-TCU game. I see our D standing up. Only question will turnovers/penalties get us again. GBR

Bud Chapin

Game 2 and Colorado will be very cocky beating a very overrated TCU. Our defense in all essence is much stronger than TCU.

Bud Chapin

38-24 Huskers

Mike Conyers

Huskers learn from 1st game and execute fundamentals better. Will up the run game against a porous D line and burn clock.

Robert Lloyd

Someday we are bound to get lucky.

David Cole

We're doomed until we can get a handle on our turnovers

Corey

Because the team room doesn't have any talent.

Corey

Or any rooms for that matter.

Corey

When did room replace the letter s? RBs, TEs, QBs. RB room. TE room. QB room. OL room. Kicking room.....room room.

Corey

Coaching room changes but the game results room never changes. That means that the team room is the problem. No talent. Until the talent room changes the results room is always going to be the same......room.

Corey

In all fairness, Deion's room won't be at Colorado if they hit in the 9 win room this year. So there's that....room.

VAHuskerFan

Buffs by 4TDs, after watching the Minnesota game and lack of offense and our Quarterback play, I don’t see a bowl game in our near future.

Todd Finkle

no contest

Rob Robertson

I believe Colorado has to much speed and an edge in QB play

Gregg Smith

Too much offense.

Thomas Wright

I think I threw up my kool-aid, sorry.

Patrick O'Brien

Our offense just isn't ready yet. The defense might keep it from being a blowout. 31 - 17 Buffs...

Todd Marshall Eckert

Their offense vs. our defense is going to score more points than our offense vs. their defense.

Paul Nielsen

Not sure about that so I say using that logic it’s a tossup, though who would have thought Prime’s approach would work so quickly. Very interesting experiment.

Garrick Baxter

We are thin everywhere and nearly one-dimensional on offense. Hartzog got beat badly on Minnesota's 4th down TD. Speed kills. CU wins, just because we're Nebraska.

lane liley

Huskers look like the same anemic self. Not sure how we overcome the 20+ years of dilution. Buffs will trounce us.

Terry Darnall

If Sims is Quarterback NU will lose! If Ruhle doesnt make changes we will not win 6 games and we will not go to bowl game!

Joe Hegarty

We can't stop them

david mellott

We suck on offense

Jim Moore

Colorado has more talent at skill positions especially on offense.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

First game we showed we still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and so I do not expect anything different until they prove different, Buffs by 14

Chris Rierson

Nothing I saw from the Huskers show that they can beat what the Buffs had on the field

Jim Firnhaber

Buffs skill players and NU propensity for turnovers: 35-31 CU (Hope I'm wrong)

Harold Grimes

I watched Colorado / TCU. Colorado has way too much talent, and speed. QB and receivers are out of this world. Colorado Defense is suspect which leads to Nebraska's only hope. Colorado by 30.

Jason Opp

Buffs have two many playmakers with speed. NU offense lacks consistency and turnover prone

Jon Petersen

Even if the defense plays a good game and keeps the score close, the offense will blow it somehow. CU 34, NU 16

Corey

Yes the offense room has major issues. The defense room won't hold up in the high altitude even though they are in much better shape compared to last year's room.

Corey

The Duke room is hanging tough with the Clemson room right now.

Anthony Carr

The Husker offense is currently a hot mess. They will not be able to outscore the Buffs.

Corey

62-3

Corey

Because we have no tight end room. Or no room room for that matter. Why can't they just leave the room off and call it tight ends? Does each position group actually have a room?
