sdhusker82 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i never really liked Ganz, he made alot of mental mistakes during alot of his games and it always seemed that it took him nearly a half to get in the groove of things are start settling in. I don't know how anyone can not like Joe Ganz. Neither can I. Nebraska hasn't seen a lot of passing quarterbacks and thats a big reason why we'll always remember the Zac Taylors and Joe Ganz's. Not to mention BOTH of them had a ton of heart and left it all on the field. Quote Link to comment

Ganz had his fair share of mental mistakes, like his pick at Texas Tech, but if it wasnt for him, we would of never been in that game in the first place. Well Joe doesnt rank amongst my top few huskers like Frazier or Gill, Ganz will always be a true husker because of the amount of heart he had. Joe was a gamer. Quote Link to comment
s.c. husker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The one where he had to tackle the defender. Clemson's D is fast but did he just not see that guy, he was baiting him and knew exactly where the ball was going, easy pick and almost six. Quote Link to comment

I think it was supposed to be a come back route by the WR, or that's what Ganz thought it was supposed to be. Quote Link to comment

lilred Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 He did it on purpose to keep the game on edge Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Comeback route. Paul stands there even while the CB jumped it. If Paul steps up in his route he's likely drawing a DPI. Quote Link to comment
s.c. husker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 That was my next thing, why didnt the rec. move toward the ball, he had to see the DB, is he a rec. that may be in ? at Nebr.? Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I went to a meaningless pre-season game (aren't they all) between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas, when Steve Young was running the team in place of Joe Montana. Young has the Niners down to the Dallas 10 and lines them up wide right, then throws a little flare to the left. Dallas DB reads it all the way, intercepts in stride and takes off with 90 yards of wide open space for the touchdown. Except here comes Steve Young from the far side of the field, finding the angle and sprinting like mad. The crowd goes wild. He's actually catching up to the guy....and dragging him down from behind a good 15 yards from the end zone. I don't even remember if Dallas scored. And like I said, the whole game was meaningless. But it remains one of the most impressive mental and physical displays I've ever seen a quarterback put on. For what it's worth, Ganz is taller than Steve Young. Quote Link to comment

killer cacti Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I bet he had his tongue out when he made that tackle. Great angle BTW. Quote Link to comment
TXHSKR Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Really made the best of a bad situation. Never gave up and made them earn their TD. Hope the next QB has the same kind of wherewithal. Never Quit Attitude!! Thanks Joe for giving it your all every play! Quote Link to comment
