On September 9, Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers go on their first road trip of the season to take on Deion Sanders<\/strong> and the Colorado Buffaloes. But how would they match up in each position? We answer these questions as we take a look at the Nebraska vs Colorado matchup.<\/p>\n

The Long Awaited Matchup Between Shedeur Sanders and Jeff Sims<\/h3>\n

As the son of Colorado head coach and former NFL cornerback <\/span>\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/strong>, Shedeur Sanders<\/a> is proving himself to be an impressive quarterback option for the Buffaloes. As one of the top quarterbacks in the country at Jackson State, he threw for 40 touchdowns and six interceptions. And at Colorado’s Spring game in 2023, he was no different. He completed 16 out of his 19 passes while throwing for two touchdowns. But can he maintain his play when it comes to playing in the Big Ten against tougher opponents?\u00a0 \u00a0This is the main weakness that people would see with his game, but he doesn’t look like he shies away from the challenge. In fact, his father’s competitive attitude will allow him to embrace it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the matchup pitting Nebraska vs Colorado, it’s clear that Sanders outclasses Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims<\/a>. But this doesn’t mean that Sims won’t be a good quarterback in Marcus Satterfield’s<\/strong> offense.\u00a0 In his short career at Georgia Tech under Geoff Collins<\/strong>,\u00a0 he passed for 4,464 yards and 30\u00a0 touchdowns.\u00a0 However, Sims was often limited by his turnovers. Meanwhile, Sanders serves as the complete package for Colorado. He threw for 70 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in his career at Jackson State. Can Sims prove the doubters wrong and beat Colorado in Memorial Stadium or will Deion and the staff find a way to carve up Tony White’s<\/strong> young defense?<\/p>\n
