Filed Under Awards, Huskers Football, Joe Ganz | Leave a Comment
Tags: Big 12 Player of the Week, Husker Honors, Huskers, Joe GanzThe award marked the second career Big 12 Player-of-the-Week honor for Ganz. The Palos Heights, Ill., native also earned the award following last year’s Kansas State game, when Ganz set Nebraska records for passing yards (510), passing touchdowns (7) and total offense (528).
The 95 rushing yards were a career-high for Ganz and the most by a Nebraska quarterback since Jammal Lord’s 109-yard effort against Texas A&M in 2003. Ganz was one of five Huskers to rush for at least 45 yards in Saturday’s game as NU churned out its best rushing effort against a Big 12 foe in six seasons.
Ganz guided the Nebraska offense to a season-high 610 total yards against the Wildcats and NU’s 56 points were also the most this season. Under Ganz’s leadership, Nebraska has now topped 30 points nine times in 11 games this season and 12 times in his 14 career starts. Nebraska has passed for at least 200 yards in all 14 of Ganz’s career starts and he has out-yarded the opposing quarterback in nine of 10 career Big 12 starts.

New Rules: College Football Edition (November 16th)

New Rule: Turner Gill should be the new head coach of Syracuse. He already is the best coach in upstate New York. Stands to reason he should get the best job in upstate New York.
New Rule: Steve Sipple should write something other than ‘this team is making progress but we aren’t quite there yet.’ Yes, we know that. In fact, Bo Pelini has met most Huskers expectations in the first year and we should celebrate 7-4.
New Rule: HG proclaims ESPN’s Mark May as the best college football analyst anywhere. The guy has a unbiased insight into college football that is an increasingly rare trait on the national stage. He gives props where props are due, and criticizes what should be criticized. No regional bias at all.
When Mark May praises the Huskers, then you’ll know theyve arrived.
New Rule: Charlie Weis getting a Gatorade bath for beating NAVY is pathetic. That’s like a Husker coach getting a Gatorade bath for beating Kansas! You’re supposed to beat Navy, you fools!
They are trying to protect the country first AND win football second. Your only mission is to win football games.
New Rule (Pro Football Edition): Football Night in America makes me long for the days of NFL Primetime. A bloated staff, lack of analysis during highlights, ’so serious’ music, pretentious “lights out b/c we are green” and a cast of characters depletes the talented Collinsworth and unspectacular Tiki Barber and Jerome Bettis.
Plus, Keith Olbermann has branded himself as a firebrand liberal opponent of the Bush administration. That’s fine. He’s allowed to take a stand. But that also means about 46% of the country’s blood pressure rises when they see him. That’s not what sports are about.
New Rule: College Football’s overtime system is superior to the NFL because of one reason: you get a result.

Round up of Nebraska’s Bowl Possibilities
Filed Under bowl games | 1 Comment
Quick note: A lot of Huskers fans got excited about the possibility of the Huskers playing in the Gator Bowl. Unfortunately, Notre Dame’s victory over Navy made the possibility of the Gator Bowl remote. All Notre Dame has to do is beat Syracuse next week and they are likely in. If they lose to the ‘Cuse (and Mark May thinks they might), they will not be going to the Gator Bowl unless they can beat USC (ahahahahahahahah)
Collection of Bowl Projections for the Cornhuskers:
* CBS Sportsline has Nebraska playing California in the Sun Bowl
* College Football News puts Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl against Iowa
* NBC sports also has Nebraska matched up with Iowa, but playing in the Insight Bowl.
* ESPN also has Nebraska in the Insight Bowl, with the Minnesota Golden Gophers as their opponent.
