about time now to throw to the tight ends on 3rd and short

John Hofstetter

love the FB trap!

Dan Brooks

nice to see the fullback back in play. Dump all the screens and wide receiver running plays they don't work when you use them all the time.

Ron Ames

Long wait.

Joe Putjenter

Great weapon

Freedom is our ONLY threat as a pass rusher. The rest of our DL is highly overrated, which has put all of our DBs on islands.

After watching the spring game, who do you predict will start at QB in Nebraska's season opener?

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

Who will have more wins in his first season at his new school, Deion Sanders or Matt Rhule?

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.
