Watch: Jeff Sims continues to turn the ball over with interception, Colorado answers quickly

There’s no denying now that Jeff Sims days as the Nebraska quarterback are coming to a close really soon. After fumbling the snap tice leading to a Colorado recovery, Sims tossed an interception to a Colorado defender who read the path of the quarterback from the snap. This interception came a drive after his second fumbled snap and a play after a delay of game. Simply put, Jeff Sims isn’t working right now.

The very first play after the interception, Colorado answered with a big play touchdown.

Watch the interception and touchdown from FOX College Football’s social media channel.

Watch: Colorado recovers another Jeff Sims fumbled snap

Quarterback Jeff Sims is struggling early on as he once again cannot handle the exchange from center in shotgun. This makes twice this first half that he has turned the ball over off the snap. If he continues to hold back the Huskers offense, then Rhule has to ponder a switch of some kind. The only touchdown the offense has scored this season was at the hands of a trick play, showing the offense’s limitations.

On the heels of the Colorado end zone, Gabe Ervin Jr. gives the Huskers offense some breathing room as he scampers off a big run to bring the offense to the 35-yard line. So far, Ervin is putting on a class performance as he is already approaching the 100-yard mark before the half.

The Husker coordinator opened his availability by talking about the continued preparations for this week’s game.

On the week of preparation for Colorado

“It’s been a good week. When you get to play a game, you get to uncover some warts you need to work on, and I think our guys and our coaches have done a nice job. We’ve been attacking things that we needed to get fixed. From just personnel things of getting off the field, from the sideline to the huddle, to the play calls, the technical things needed to be improved.”

Nebraska and Colorado will renew their longstanding rivalry this weekend. The Cornhuskers will be looking for their first win of the Matt Rhule era.

The social media buzz surrounding the game has only grown as gameday approaches. Deion Sanders will be making his debut in front of the Boulder faithful.

USA TODAY Sports called this Saturday’s game one of the games to watch this weekend. Eddie Timanus says that even though Nebraska lost to Minnesota last week, there is still something to be hopeful about.

“The promising development for the Cornhuskers was the overall performance of the defense, but Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and his array of fast targets will bring a bit more fire power. Nebraska QB Jeff Sims is well aware he must take better care of the ball.”

Deion Sanders on Nebraska game ‘this is personal’

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders met with the media earlier in the week. The Buffaloes are preparing for their home opener this Saturday against Nebraska.

Colorado is now ranked No. 25 in nation after defeating TCU on the road last Saturday. Coach Prime started his media availability by complimenting Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule.

“They’re well-coached. I do admire their coach tremendously — what he did in Baylor. I know things didn’t go the way they desired to go at Carolina, but just that opportunity and doing what he did is something that some aspire — I don’t aspire — to go to, but I like him. He’s done a phenomenal job with that team and trying to get them in the right direction. They play hard, they play tough, they’re physical. They dot I’s and cross T’s, and trust me, they’re not going to lay down in any means. They going to come in here and be prepared for a dogfight.”
