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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
