I can’t help but wonder why we aren’t seeing Joe Ganz on the field this season. He was good enough to fight for the starting position last August. But now, for reasons untold, he’s not good enough to take a snap?
Samuel McKewon for Nebraska State Paper reports on Keller’s performance yesterday:
Keller struggled again with placing the ball where his receivers could make catches in stride. Balls were behind them, at their feet or beyond their reach. A few times Keller left his feet to throw, aiming the football like a soft-tipped dart. Other times he dumped the ball to Lucky when better options downfield were available.
Loserhan and Cosgrove are not the only problems we have. People say Keller is a leader, but he was not elected captain. And where is it that Keller is leading us? We had a strong leader at QB in Zac Taylor. So strong, he made his coaches and team look good. Those days are over, and soon so will these days be bygone. Could it be any more obvious that it’s time to develop our younger players?
I know Loserhan won’t make that call–it would indicate that he was wrong in the first place. It’s time for TO to deliver the knock out punch so we can start to improve.

Agree 100%; QB makes a huge difference in this offense and Keller has played poorly since USC; It’s time to develop some players for 2008. Keller can play better, if he doesn’t it time to give someone else a chance. His job is to move the offense and put points on the board. That hasn’t happened 3 games in a row. Went to the game and Keller is missing open receivers when he throws by 5 feet on over 50% of his downfield throws.

Big C has almost never put in another QB. He is a 1 QB man till the bitter end. Zac Taylor damn near got the tar beat out of him at Texas Tech 2 years ago. Callahan don’t dcare is he is up 50 or down 50, he will not put in Ganz, even though according to him, Keller and him are 1A and 1B on the chart

@ John…
We were not at Texas Tech 2 years ago. In fact, we lost a thriller at home when we picked it off with about a minute left and fumbled it on the return. And 2 years ago, Zac got the tar kicked out of him just about every game!
