There's a difference between sporting "trash talk" and attacking a guy whom you know nothing about.
NU vs Clemson
- Thread starter HSKRNOKC
- Start date
Thanks y'all. I'm not here to start alot of trash talking. I'm just looking for some good conversation, and I don't mind a little good-natured ribbing back and forth. The guy who got sued by axl doesn't bother me either. Every school has it's share of those. Us southern folk are used to those type of remarks. It's obvious that he's never visited down south, and goes to show who really is the uneducated one. Anyway, y'all can visit www.tigernet2.com. It's probably our best board and y'all will be welcomed.
Now the the hey, how are ya part is over, lets hear y'alls take on the game.

What kind of offense do you guys run, or what do you rely on heavily? If you have a mobile QB that will surely give us problems as well if you have guys who can stretch the field.
We rely heavily on quick passes to sure handed receivers Swift and Peterson. We also have been starting to run alot of zone read the last half of the season and have had some pretty good success. We have three capable running backs Helu (juke, jive, usually makes the 1st guy miss), Lucky (excellent receiver, decent runner, excellent pass blocker), Castille (absolute hammer, does have fumblitis).
Defense has struggled, but we have improved greatly on the D-line. We are thin at LB due to injury and suspension. The secondary is young but getting better.

Joe Ganz is not a "top 5 all time NU QB". No no no no no.
No freakin way.
Uh uh.
....
And Nebraska fans are just as prone to bible thumping, illiteracy, racism, etc. as any folks from the south. Except for the Confederate flags.

Our offense is centered around CJ Spiller and James Davis. Spiller is one of the fastest in college football, alot like Percy Harvin (put him on Florida's team, and I think he's better than Harvin). He will make you miss and outrun you. Davis is a between-the-tackles guy. He picks up the tough yards. Our offense starts with the running game in these two. At reciever, we have Ford (who's as fast as spiller) and Aaron Kelly (ACC all time reception leader). Ford will stretch the field with his speed, and Aaron Kelly is a vacuum. However, we WILL NOT win if we can't run the ball well. That's our bread and butter. Also expect to see some reverse plays and some screens.
You don't have to worry about our QB being mobile. He's far from that. He is serviceable, but he can't carry the team to a win by himself.

Still you don't need to do that crap Axl. He didn't come on talking smack like some do and those guys deserve crap like that. He obviously didn't take offense to it because he probably seen how the rest of the board acted towards your comments and realized you might be the 1% of every fanbase that causes issues.It's funny how you guys are more offended than he is.
Welcome to huskerboard 03alum and we all apologize for your initial response when you arrived. I think it'll be a good game and I must be honest I don't know much about Clemson. I'll have to do my homework on you guys to see what I should expect from your team. Our defensive line is good, our linebackers are average, and our secondary is hit and miss. We will, most likely, give up one or two big plays right off of the bat as we have done that all season. Our offense is the strong part of the team, our QB is good, our running game is good, and our receivers are decent, except for Swift, he is outstanding. Our offensive line is okay, but they are big and will be slower than your defense so we'll have to see if they have problems with your defense.
Our special teams as far as kickoff's are concerned have pissed me off all season. We always seem to allow teams to get to the 35 or 40 yard line on kickoff returns. Guys just aren't staying in their lanes for whatever stupid a$$ed reason. Our field goal kicker surprised us all though with a 57 yard kick against Colorado to help us win the game. He's only a Sophomore I believe and has the leg to make you guys pay if you let us get close. Look forward to a good game and further talk with you about your team. Send some other Clemson fans over here so we can get to know you guys and they can give us their perspective on your team. :thumbs

Well this may play more towards our favor then. We play well against the run and we don't seem to do well against mobile QB's, which it sounds like you don't have. The reverse plays might catch us off guard though since we are average at LB and they seem to have a problem staying home sometimes.

I got your two cents and I feel overcharged. Think we can talk football now?It's funny how you guys are more offended than he is.

Well, OK.
There have been different types of QBs at NU, but here are some guys off the top of my head who were better runners than Ganz:
Frazier
Crouch
Gill
Frost
Ganz scrambles when he needs to, and is good for 5-8 yds on a well executed QB draw. But he's not going to beat you running the ball. The 4 guys I mentioned above were absolute gamebreakers. And I think there have been at least 5 other guys throughout history that may not have been world beaters, but should be held in higher regard as rushing QBs (like Bobby Newcombe, etc. hell throw Jammal Lord and Joe Dailey in there too).
Better pure passers:
Gill
(arguably) Berringer
Zac Taylor (much much much better decision maker)
Ferragamo and Tagge (before my time, but look at what they did)
Now, as far as a combination of those skills go, I don't know how he ranks. It's all so subjective to the offensive system and the relative strength of schedule. I also don't have enough historical perspective to make an accurate judgement. And I'm not saying Ganz isn't a good, raw talent. If he could have had another year or two to actually play, maybe he'd rank higher. But I think most of his legacy here is going to be due to the system in place. Plus he played here during a down cycle. Not necessarily a knock on him, but in a couple years I don't think you will still be making this argument.
