Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims had a rough first half vs. Colorado, as he lost two fumbles and threw an interception in two quarters alone. Those three turnovers directly led to 10 Colorado points as the Buffaloes took a 13–0 lead into halftime.
As Sims’s struggles unfolded, even the announcers recognized how bad it was getting. Right before Sims threw the interception, Fox Sports play-by-play man Gus Johnson pleaded with Nebraska to bench Sims for the quarterback’s sake.
“I don’t know, Matt Rhule might have to find someone else to play quarterback for him, because Sims is costing his team games,” Johnson said.
