Gerry's getting tossed is why alchol should not be served in the booth.

Eric Williams

the sad part about Gerrys ejection is that the replay officials reviewed the play for 10 minutes and still managed to embarrass themselves once again

William Snesrud

Absolutely not.....that was the kind of tackle coaches should be teaching their players - hit them with the shoulder and wrap them up in your arms...... Can't believe he got tossed for such a textbook tackle and after everybody but that officiating crew and review judge saying so........

T David Andrew M

It was the best example of poor judgement call so far this season

Bonnie Guy

because it should be obvious.....

David LaFever

Consider the officiating crew...ACC. That says enough...ask Duke.

Bob Crockford

Absolutely not! What in the world did they see, the whole country did NOT see? Idiots! Either they are blind, dirty or they haven't a clue! Fire the idiots! If you asked me, they picked on him, because he had a target vs Iowa.

Shelly Baker

That was a picture perfect tackle! Exactly the way it should be made.

Stephen Johnson

The rule is to subjective. He followed the rules. The officials did not.

Jerry Williams

All the video shows it was good hit.

Larry Baumann

No, however that is the dirty play Banker has always coached his players.

Bob Crockford

Really? Hopefully, you don't get the job!

Visitor

The rules were completlely followed

John Lind

this was some of the poorest officiating i have seen all season, there is no way he should have been flagged for targeting, he had a form perfect tackle, i think it was called because it was such a hard hit and the official were pussies...

Dan Cubrich

I would like to make a suggestion to the boneheads who came up with that penalty to give the officials even more power to screw up a game.... when a defender is approaching a ball carrier, I guess he should just say "boo" instead of tackling him, and then the play will be...Continued on the reply...

Dan Cubrich

Called dead and the play will then be over. There will then be no chance for any injuries!

Keith Petrie

Absolutely not! Neither time!!!

Visitor

nope perfect form tackle this rule needs to be changed asap

Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

Michael Graham

Better runner.

Carl Wiest

Thing is, they are both really good QB's if they get coached up right.

Steven Sabacky

More fluid on the pocket

James Stiver

I believe Sims is a very accurate passer and he appears to be a strong runner. I would have liked to see him run more in the spring game!

Casey always looked good considering always under pressure, can throw the long ball and run.

David Weaver

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

Richard Stotts

lets see who Coach starts....Casey is just better.

Andy Fields

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Scott Morris

I think Casey throws a lot better than Sims.

Randy Wolf

Better arm, better legs

Andy Morrison

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

Jim Firnhaber

I believe Casey is the better passer and likely reads defenses faster.

Kevin Bolin

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

travis stoler

they both play but casey starts

Nebraska's first two games should scare the fan base. Both on the road and with regard to Colorado, let's face it, they have way more swagger and are projecting way more aggressiveness and confidence. I think Big Red is 0-2 to start and Colorado will surprise.

Corey

Because of lack of athletes and confidence. It's coming again, you just refuse to see it.

Rhule has been there and done it at a d1 level. Sanders has not. Both programs are similar in records over the last few years. So I would lean on experience.

Steve Farrell

I just peaked at Colorado's schedule, it's brutal for first year coach

More Heart, Less Hype.

James Stiver

Rhule seems like he can get the team to believe in themselves and go out and have some fun with it and I think this will make a difference!

Brandon Pierce

We have the better team and better coach!

Dale Blackford

Colorados' schedule looks more formidable to them, then Nebraska's to them.

Richard Byers

Nebraska has a lot more developed talent in place. CU is rebuilding and had a lot of graduations and transfers out.

Ron Joseph

Colorado was much worse that Neb last year - a much deeper hole. We were close. With good coaching, we'll get over the top and to a bowl game. Besides Buffs suck

Thomas Wright

SHM...LOL Deion is just neon. All things that glitter aren't gold ! Colorado is going to find out the hard way just what type of coaching Deion is really capable of. I'm NOT drinking the Nebr kool-aid either, but let's face it, Rhule has put together quite the staff in comparison to Frost ! GBR !!!

Alex Perry

With Deion being Deion and getting rid of players by essentially forcing them out I believe this will be a setback in year one. With Rhule helping most Nebraska players stay and bringing in more talent I think they will have more success in season one considering they have more talent overall.
