REDSTEEL
All-Conference
The defense allowed NU a 11 point lead at halftime then came out and stopped CU to 3 and out. The offense then went out and threw a pick for an int touchdown. Then the next possesion what did this offense come out doing instead of running the ball to help the defense out. Nope they decide let's pass some more. ( reminded me of Texas Tech 2004 and texas 2007.) Why the defense should take most of the blame the offense is not innocent.This loss is squarely on Nebraska's defense and coaching staff. Why do you attempt 4th and 8 from the 25 instead tying with a field goal, and then not attempt 4th and 1 at the 50 when trailing by two touchdowns with 12 minutes left? Why do you not at least attempt to establish any kind of running game in the second half?but you can pin this loss squarely on the shoulders of Mr. Ganz. Yes the all american boy everyone has been pining over and claiming the second coming. The one everyone says should have started from day one. For the first time, his continuous bad passes, mis-throws and gunslinger attitude(without a gunslinger arm) caught up to him. The defense had played ok we are up 11 with the ball and ganz makes 2 more awful throws back to back and momentum changed and boom game over. He has made several awful throws since he took over it wasnt until now however that it hurt him. his arm is weak, the ball sails, and his accuracy is lacking. Blame Callahan all you want but he didnt throw those passes, what he did do was put ganz and the offense in the right play, Mr. Ganz just made terrible throws.
I dont care who stays as coach or who comes in. Its no different in my opinion, if our success depends on Petersen and Swift at WR and Ganz at QB we are in for a long season again.
Go ahead and rip me all you want, i have said it from the beginning, Ganz is not very good, he is simply a guy that knows the system really well. Well the system will be different but his lack of accuracy, arm strength and overall ability will stil be the same
This loss is squarely on Ganz
Why is it that the offense seems to take a quarter off every week and lose their leads if they had one to only come back and score after the other teams has already taken a 16 to 20 point lead?
Why does Callahan call only 3 runs in the second half, and why does he punt with 8 minutes left and behind by 21.
