B1G Time: Forget disrespect, Matt Rhule's biggest problem is at QB during early stages of Nebraska rebuild

There are different ways to rebuild a program, but the wrong QB can ruin any of the plans in place

The problem Rhule faces, however, is that no matter what approach you take to rebuilding a program, there's one problem you can't get wrong: You can't miss on your QB, and that's an area in which Rhule has whiffed.

Jeff Sims came to Nebraska from Georgia Tech where he'd fallen out of favor because of his inability to take care of the football. Turnovers were a killer for a Georgia Tech team that had to beat opponents at the margins and outweighed the positives of Sims' occasional big plays.

I have created a stat I call, "Whoopsy Daisy Rate," which tracks how often a QB puts the ball in danger. I take the number of fumbles -- not fumbles lost, rather fumbles overall -- and interceptions a QB has and divide it by plays on the field. In three seasons at Georgia Tech, Sims played 1,455 snaps and fumbled or threw an interception on 46 of those plays. That's a Whoopsy Daisy Rate of 3.02%. Among 152 FBS QBs to play at least 750 snaps over those three seasons, it's the second-highest rate in the country behind UMass' Brady Olson (3.22%).

Through Week 2 of the 2023 season, 129 different QBs have played at least 75 snaps on offense, and you'll never guess who leads the country in Whoopsy Daisy Rate. That's right, it's Jeff Sims. Sims has fumbled the ball or thrown an interception on an astounding 7.77% of his 103 snaps this season. He has continually put the Cornhuskers in an untenable position.

Just sayin': WHOOPSY......:lol:

I mean, who the fuck goes to raid Georgia Tech for football talent?

Besides Calvin Johnson and Jamyr Gibbs, that’s like going to raid an fcs program.
