Harrberg is like 6'4" nearly 240 pounds. He is a big dude. I don't ever remember us having that big of a quarterback. His potential is enormous. I think Irvin is coming on at Running Back finally, but he may have suffered a Hip-pointer. Hope not. Grant is very nifty and dangerous when he hangs onto the football. Defense looks impressive. Best D maybe since Carl Pelini was the Defensive coordinator. Need to get the return game going. I like the tight ends. The receivers are young, but showing rapid improvement. They appear to be good blockers.
It’s too bad he has to run the ball, having no offensive line, and no dominate RB who can carry a punishing running game, as we once did back in the day. They used to refer to NU as an “I-Back Factory”, year over year high performing backs like Jeff Kinney, Rick Berns, I.M. Hipp, Jarvis Redwine, Calvin Jones, Mike Rozier, Roger Craig, Lawrence Phillips, Ahmad Green, to name a few. And those backs had dominate, punishing O-lines, which we haven’t had either of, for years. Maybe we can fix our recruiting.
They should be 3-0 this QB would’ve beat Minnesota and colorado..They looked good asf in this game looked like a complete team for the first time in years
They would’ve beat colorado if they woulda switched QBs poor coaching lost them that game this team could very well be 3-0 they have a good defense. They should give sims a few runs he’s definitely talented.
I know it’s Northern Illinois but I already like Haarberg more than Sims. Until he proves he can hang on to the ball he should be moved down in the depth chart. Do better than Scott did! Break the cycle/curse.
Not really. I agree they can’t hang in the Big Ten, and they won’t until they learn how to recruit 4 & 5 Star talent out of the South, but Colorado out prepared, out recruited, and out Coached NU in the off season, by a long shot. NU is lucky Northern Illinois was on the schedule, or they’d be 0-3.
That game was awesome I hope they can keep it up!🎉
It's good having a QB that can play without dropping the ball...and be a physical runner!!

@@jeffreyk5734a lot of work to do on our offensive line! B1G will be a lot tougher.

Who knew that not turning over the ball a million times a game could lead to a win?
The most joy I’ve had watching one of our games in 5+ years. The absence of impending doom in the 4th quarter felt so alien
Football works so much better when the QB doesn't drop the ball at the start of every 6th play. NIIIIIIICE
He has touch to the flats and can pass to his left. It’s been a while
Atmosphere was electric as always.
I was lucky enough to go to this one and the only other dominating win we had over northwestern in the last 6 years
i was very impressed with Nebraska's defensive play.
Who’d they play??? Cmon.
@@DeBa12268 sacks vs Colorado, they wouldve been shut out in the first half if not for jeff sims
Enjoyed a little home cookin'. Keep it up!
Nebraska need to get the ball to my kinfolk Josh Fleeks
They would’ve beat colorado if they woulda switched QBs poor coaching lost them that game this team could very well be 3-0 they have a good defense. They should give sims a few runs he’s definitely talented.
There you go keep it on the ground and go straight up the gut!! GBR!!
GBR 🌽
Texas fan here ….. y’all remember Eric Crouch ?
Bench sims permanently 2 games i saw why his last team benched him
wow they found 8 minutes of highlights in this game?
Lol that no kneel down was cold , can’t wait til they play Ohio state or Michigan and get demoralized 😭😭😭
If no 10 does not start next game, then the Coach is stupid.
He’s starting. I’m guessing it’s his job to lose. Sims shouldn’t even be on an active roster
Try Simms at TE.
Oh yay, a win against NIU.....
Same thing I was thinking, I’m not impressed until we beat an actual threatening team
I know it’s Northern Illinois but I already like Haarberg more than Sims. Until he proves he can hang on to the ball he should be moved down in the depth chart. Do better than Scott did! Break the cycle/curse.
Without Jeff Sims they would be 3-0.
agree
Calm down. It's easy to look good when you're playing Northern Illinois 😆
Eaaaaasy. Northern Illinois looked like a Junior Varisty team playing Varsity. NU would still be 1-2…. They have zero offensive line.
Give Simms one more shot at La Tech with a VERY short leash. One turnover and he’s done
He had a short leash; Week 1 and Week 2. Go have a seat on the bench or transfer out.
Losing to Colorado and sanders is embarrassing. They should eliminate the program from the big ten.
colorado is a good team lmao, losing to minnesotas sad tho
@@jeremiahpandian4637Colorado struggled against high school level Colorado State lol. Colorado is going to get manhandled over the next 3 weeks

@@AryamAmin😅 but 3-0 and beat you 😂
