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.

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....

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

My crystal ball is in the shop, but I really wanna say yes to this. He's a shoo-in for the Illini, but I gather that Glenn & Matt went hard in this visit. Hopefully, it was enough to convince him on Lincoln.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.
