With Matt Rhule taking over it looked like a forgone conclusion that Nebraska would be taking a transfer quarterback for a second straight year. However many believed that quarterback would be Arkansas’ Malik Hornsby. Instead to the surprise of many, Georgia Tech’s Jeff Sims is coming.
Casey Thompson played well last season, when healthy, and myself and many others were excited to see him come back and get another season. But we have to realize that Thompson is undergoing shoulder surgery and miss off of spring ball. Having Jeff Sims not only gives Nebraska some insurance if Casey Thompson isn’t ready but it also provides some competition that could bring the best out in both quarterbacks.
