Nebraska got a great win the the Gator Bowl on New Years Day over Clemson 26-21. Nebraska was down 14-3 at the half 21-10 in the 3rd quarter but battled back to win their first new years day (or later) bowl game since 2000.
Nebraska will be losing some key people on the team, namely Joe Ganz. Nebraska will also take a hit at WR after Nate Swift and Todd Peterson have used up their eligibility. The one underclassman NU has to worry about leaving is Suh. Suh is projected right now as a late 1st round pick. Before those predictions came out, and during bowl practices, Suh has said he’s 99.9% sure he is coming back for his senior year. Now after having time to think about it and then his Gator Bowl performance, will the money be too much of a draw to come back? We will soon know, as deadline to apply for the draft is soon approaching. If Suh comes back he will anchor a Dline that will be cut in half by graduation (Potter & Steinkuhler). Murillo is a big loss in the secondary but there is depth behind him.
The biggest replacement though will be Joe Ganz. Who will come out of the three-headed race between Patrick Witt, Zach Lee or QB recruit Cody Green. Unless Cody comes in and blows out the competition, I foresee a redshirt season for him. So its either Patrick Witt or Zach Lee, my money is on Witt at this point but it will be one of the more fascinating things to watch this upcoming off season.
