That is obviously a terrible decision by Sims but that’s a poorly designed play.  Nebraska had 3 receivers running routes within 5 yards of each other in the EZ.

They had WR running a hitch just across the goal line, a TE running an out pattern heading directly toward him, and then another WR running a shallow corner route just behind the kid running the hitch.  Too easy for a DB to come off his man to help on another route.
#87 was open on the goal line for an easy TD
bad decision by Simms

Rhule has some work to do. The clearest sign of coaching quality are presnap penalties. They had two killer ones followed by ghastly turnovers. 

This game is going about how I expected it to go. 

And then the kickoff goes right into FG range.

I agree it was a bad decision by Sims, but the DB who picked it off was easily able to help off the hitch and drift back a few steps to pick it off the corner route.  He chose the wrong receiver to throw it to, but I didn’t love all that traffic in such a condensed space either.

Nebraska with a trick play that initially looks like disaster for them results in a TD. 7-3 Huskers.

he hasn’t looked great, but it’s not all his fault. Florida’s OL absolutely sucks royally. he is inaccurate and does hold the ball too long and panics under pressure still tho.
