NU Football Notes: Joe Ganz a 'player to watch'

LINCOLN — Nebraska quarterback Joe Ganz will attend the 53rd annual Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio) Sports Banquet as a "player to watch" in college football in 2008.

 

Ganz recently received an invitation for the Feb. 9 function. An invitation also was extended to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who won the Heisman Trophy last season as a sophomore.

 

It adds to the turnaround for Ganz, the senior-to-be who was a virtual unknown until starting the Huskers' final three games last season. In those starts, Ganz passed for 1,399 yards and 15 touchdowns, and ran for three more scores.

 

Ganz said his parents will make the trip to Columbus with him.

 

"It's a great honor to have, but it's not going to change how I go about working and how I go about everything," Ganz said. "I'm just going to be the person I'm going to be. Any notoriety isn't going to affect me."

 

that's right, my friends... it's all coming together like clockwork...

Now I know why TO was on TV......

It would be great for him if he could make a run at it.

HELL YEA! Lucky should go with him to since he will be one of the only senior running backs in 08.

[Bleeding Husker Red]

He ought to be on the watch list... he was phenomenal in those last games. I'm not saying he's going to win anything, just saying he deserves a look..

Ganz for Big 12 1st team in 08?.......................stranger things have happened.

Go Joe!

With a good running attack, better protection, adjustments made by the coaches, plays designed that work best to his strengths, etc., hopefully Ganz won't feel like he has to force the ball nearly as much. As we know, the only knock against him last year were all the picks.

You have to remember though that most picks come when you go deep. Those aren't as bad as if he were throwing terrible short passes. Most of the picks he threw were on deep routes....IMO.

Those one's in Colorado werent that deep since it only took the DB 2 seconds to take the first one in for a td.

It's funny that Ganz is a player to watch when he might not even be the starter next year.

While anything is possible...

 

I think the ganzinator will start.

 

 

 

GO BO!!

[husker249]

Seriously,.....why the hell would he NOT start. I will take a guy that threw for 1350 yds and 15 tds in 3 games over Zac Lee who hasnt even thrown for a single yard in D-1 yet. Im not ruling out Lee being good its just, why would anyone jump on the Zac Lee bandwagon when he hasnt done anything to prove himself. Give my boy Ganz some respect huskerballz!

[MNBIGRED]

has anyone seen zac lee play? can he scramble any good because thats what i like about ganz
