HANC Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just creating a topic for hypothetical scenarios........ What if Ganz goes down......is it Lee or Witt......and do either of these guys give us a chance to win. What does anyone know about each... Next year, Lee or Witt, or will it be a newcomer? Cody Green or Spano? I personally think it will be Lee, but not based on much. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Haven't seen enough from either of them. Flicp a coin and resort to the running game. Quote Link to comment

We would be sitting a lot of talent with the Qbs that we have if Green came in and beat everyone out, but hey why not when we are trying to rebuild the face of the program. He looks like he could be the real deal that no one knows too much about. Spano sounds like he has a good future though. If I had to pick between Witt and Lee though I'd probably stick the big guy in Witt in there and see if he can manage our offense. Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 From what I've seen of Spano, he could be a real stud! Quote Link to comment
MCAT800 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 From what I know of Witt is he is more of a pro style QB, why would we have recruited Spano and Witt if we were sticking with the WCO, I say Witt will be a back-up for the rest of his career Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I believe it was Tom Lookinbill (sp) national recruiting guru that was on the local radio last week (1620 the zone) and he felt as if Green might be a year or two away, but also compared his size to Terrell Pryor, but admitted that he was not the athlete Pryor is....... basically told nebraska fans to not expect too much too soon, but that Green has a tremendous "upside" and could develop into a "Tommie Frazier" type of QB at Nebraska. Not that I take the "analysts" word as gospel, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Green redshirt and that is why I think Lee will be the guy next year. Hopefully, the guy who said Spano is going to be a stud is correct. Lee gives us a better "running" option in the spread offense. Quote Link to comment

If I had to pick between Witt and Lee though I'd probably stick the big guy in Witt in there and see if he can manage our offense. This, my friends is a wonderful conversation. Which of potentially four excellent QB's will emerge? What a great position NU is in --- even if 1/2 these guys do not pan out as being what they were cracked up to be (which is probably too pessimistic a view) then we still have two young guys who can be excellent. This is so much better a situation than what has been the case. So.... I do not care which one --- Spano, Lee, Witt, or Green ends up the man --- I simply know that between the four of them NU should be set for 3 -4 years (maybe 5 years) at QB. That position is a great one to be in. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have a feeling that Spano will be our starter next season and really turn some heads in the spring and early fall. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The sad part is that it is becoming apparent that none of them will have any gametime experience before next year. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Witt was recruited under Cally to play the WCO, so if we stick with what we are going to call a "WCO", then I say Witt. If we go more towards a spread, Lee. I don't think we'll have a true freshmen starting at QB. Quote Link to comment

If we go more towards a spread, Lee. I don't think we'll have a true freshmen starting at QB. I agree - no true freshman will start at quarterback. BUT... I wonder if the coaching staff might create some packages specifically for Spano or Green; i.e., some spread option that is tilted heavily to the option. That allows them the luxury of easing the transition to either a spread option, giving the young guys some experience and confidence by putting them in situations best suited to their current level of talent, and providing a "curve ball" to defenses.

kstatehater Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I maybe should have elaborated on what I said. I said I HOPE Green comes in and BEATS out the rest. I don't care what some National Guru says. If Cody could come in here and beat out Spano, Lee and Witt, he would be worthy of foregoing the RS. I'm not against starting a true freshman QB, it may make for a long year that year, but pays huge dividends later in the career. You learn a lot more going 8-4 as a true freshman starter than you do in a RS year IMO. To be realistic Green may lack enough mental talent to overtake those 3. In that case I suspect it will be Spano or Lee. I agree with the assessment that we are moving toward a spread option, which is why I WANT Green to be the man. I see comments that nobody wants a true freshman starting, yet you are nervous about a QB starting with no experience. If you are playing a new QB every two years or one year as it has been lately, you always have a QB with no experience. If you start a true freshman, you have a true freshman for one year, then a experienced starter for 3. Quote Link to comment
