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....

Mark C. Brigham

He is more consistent in his decision making.

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!!

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Robert Lloyd

Let Emmitt and TJ run and run and run and we'll have a victory.

James Smith

Home field advantage in front of family and friends. He will relive his high school glory HUSKERS 27 ucla 24

Mark

Die hard husker

Heart My Doghead

Mr L is from Socal, therefore highly motivated to excel...Huskers by 15

jerry williams

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Will the black-out home game vs. USC Trojans amplify the Huskers’ chance to shine?

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
