Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule met with the media following Cornhusker’s 28-14 victory over Louisana Tech. The head coach was asked about the future of the quarterback position after the performance of Heinrich Haarberg.
Haarberg was 8/12 passing for 107 yards and one touchdown while carrying the ball 19 times for 157 yards and one touchdown. The Nebraska native was filling in for the injured Jeff Sims the last two weeks.
Rhule said that moving forward, the Huskers will play the quarterback that gives them the best chance to win.
“Jeff (Sims) was able to go but limited in what he can do, in terms of the ability to run the football. He did come in for one play. Chubba’s (Purdy) signaling and Heinrich’s finding his helmet. Jeff went in at the end, I think Jeff was probably tight there, just his ankle after being out there all day didn’t see the use of having him go reinjure that but I think Jeff’s an excellent player. He played two really tough teams on the road and a lot of things that happened people are just going to lump on him, some of those things weren’t his fault. We’re going to get him all ready to play and play the game that gives us the best chance to win.”
