I believe Ganz hit 30 for 40 for 510 yards (Husker record) and seven 
touchdowns (Husker record?). More than that, he provided the team 
leadership that's been missing all season.

Far from restoring confidence in Callahan's judgment, Ganz's 
performances against KU and KSU calls it into question. It will be 
interesting to hear Calllahan's explanation as to why Ganz got 
nothing but splinters in his britches during those five straight 
losses before Keller's injury.

Ganz patently has a better grasp of the offense and at least today 
had an almost perfect sense of timing in his throws as commented 
frequently by TV color announce Kelly Stouffer, Nebraska native and 
former pro qb.

One or two Listers argued after the KU game that Keller was/is a 
better passer than Ganz, but I'd argue that they were making their 
case on the basis of too little evidence. Other Listers wondered why 
Purify got so few chances, and today we have at least a partial 
answer: because Ganz wasn't doing the throwing.

We'll see how much of today's game carries over into Boulder, but my 
guess is that for the first time this year we'll see the same Husker 
team show up for two games in a rowl.
