Remember this: There is very rarely any correlation between how a team looks in the Spring game and how it will look first game in the Fall. Or which players will be starters and which won’t.

5-7…Qb is a weakness and team looks average overall. I know it’s spring but the Gophers looked crisper. Sorry.

QB a weakness? Sims is good and Casey will be back. These other guys won’t see the field.

Brand new offense. Brand new Defense. Fix the dropsies and turnovers and improve. Not going to be an overnight fix.

I’ve seen some good things from guys we needed to see good things from. We’ve seen the 5 deep. There were walk ons getting snaps and a shot in the first half.

Except I think this will be what our offense and defense looks like. Individual players who knows.

I’m encouraged by Sims and Purdy. HH not so much but he’ll suffice as a 3rd or 4th option. The battle clearly is between Sims and CT

Very impressive interception to end it. Nearly as encouraging as his fumbled snap turnover.

Check downs & little runs with time expiring in the half. Led offense to zero points despite playing most snaps

Haarberg clear #2 until CT is back

No you said first black defense coor.
First black cebter..
You choose to define our players by race... i dont think thats good.. its divisive.. im glad coach rhule doesnt recruit coaches or players like that.. hey come to NU and be our first black punter...or center.. tell me you understand that right? Thats all Im saying.. i would like to go back to enjoying our TEAM now.. all of them not just a certain color
Lol...what a terrible take

Players aren't defined by race. Their play is what defines them. Thus the hope the live up to the tradition we have created with white players.

Stop digging.

Simple question has Nebraska ever had a black D Coordinator or center?

HH fumbled multiple snaps and lost at least one. The interception came on the last play against a prevent D trying to force one in. Neither Purdy or HH are gonna play unless CT or JS get hurt.

especially first year under a new coach and staff. the fumbles and drops very concerning though.

Haarberg - zero turnovers but 0-6 passing. One really egregiously bad drop on a dart, one batted down at the line. Led a touchdown drive.

Looked like he belonged physically

Purdy looked the same as he ever has. No juice whatsoever, 2 turnovers, zero points

Bonner looks like a player

Same old inconsistent Washington at the point of catch

Would be nice to see somebody (Betts) step up on the outside

Kemp looked good

Didn’t Austin play some center at times? College coaching jobs are merit based with a good deal of who you’ve worked with before thrown in. I’m not sure why anybody would have expected Frost or Riley to bring along anybody other than Chin and Banker. No doubt BC wishes he had gone outside his buddy pool

Tagoloia or however it's spelled made some plays. The defense looked like they are willing to hit and gang tackle which is nice. The ball handlin? Beyond terrible, hope that gets cleaned up.

Purdy looks a lot like his brother. Marginal arm. Made good decisions. Scrambled for good gains when plays broke down. We could win games with Purdy. I have to see better out of his passing to think HH could.

both belong at a different level. nothing personal, they just do.
