Lincoln – Following record-setting junior seasons, senior I-back Marlon Lucky and senior quarterback Joe Ganz have been named to watch lists for prestigious college football awards. Lucky has been named to the 2008 Maxwell Award watch list, which is given annually to the nation’s top player by the Maxwell Football Club. Ganz has been named to the watch list for the Jonny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given to the nation’s top senior quarterback.



Lucky is coming off a stellar junior campaign when he averaged 84.9 yards per game on the ground and produced the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career at Nebraska. The North Hollywood, Calif., native was a true dual threat out of the backfield, hauling in a single-season school-record 75 passes for 705 yards, the most catches by a running back in the nation in 2007. The second-team All-Big 12 honoree amassed 1,743 all-purpose yards in 2007. It was the most yards by any player in 10 years at Nebraska and the seventh-best total in school history.

Lucky was at the top of his game late in the season, topping 100 all-purpose yards in each of the final five games. He ran 24 times for 111 yards and caught six passes on the road at Texas. Against No. 8 Kansas, Lucky caught six passes for 83 yards, including a career-long 62-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. He again caught six passes against Kansas State, including a touchdown, and also posted his fifth 100-yard rushing effort with 103 yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns in the rout of the Wildcats. Lucky closed the year with 184 all-purpose yards at Colorado, rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown while catching eight passes for 115 yards.

After serving as a back-up to Sam Keller over the first eight games, Ganz was inserted in the Texas game following a shoulder injury to Keller late in the game. Quickly, Ganz lead the Huskers to a touchdown and converted a two-point conversion to pull the Huskers within three points in a 28-25 loss in Austin.

Ganz went on to start the final three games of the year against Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado. Ganz threw for more than 400 yards in all three games and produced three of the top five single-game passing records. For the year, Ganz connected on 58.6 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,453 yards and 16 touchdowns. Ganz rushed for 93 yards on 20 carries with three touchdowns.

Ganz’s 15 touchdowns in the final three games were a school record as he guided the Husker offensive assault to an average of 598.7 total yards per game. His top game came against the Wildcats of Kansas State in the Huskers’ final home game of the 2007 season. Ganz competed 30-of-40 passes for a school-record 510 yards while connecting on a school-record seven touchdowns. With the addition of 18 yards on the ground, Ganz produced the top day in school history for total yards with 528.

I was down in Lincoln over the 4th. THis place is starting to buzz already.

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was buzzing as soon as callahan got fired. My Cousin Has been sending me different husker screen savers weekly. My grandpa saves all of the articles for me as id like to become a husker someday.

Were getting closer and closer to the seasons.

Just over a month now. Fall practice starts in just a few days. It'll be a long month of speculation and preseason polls, which are, of course, meaningless.

I saw that Notre Dame made ESPN's preseason top 25. That's... interesting.

I'm pumped. The first game will be on pay-per-view, kickoff is at 6:00pm. Go Big Red!

there going to light it up this year, its time to turn there program around.

Big Pa is there now, so watch out

Okay, it's less than three weeks until kickoff against Western Michigan and the beginning of the Pelini era.

Who's going to Senser's for the game? Kickoff is at 6:00 PM, so there would be plenty of time for a fishing outing before the game. Anybody interested?

Should we pick a lake/river and a time to meet up, and then start working out some details? Let's get this ball rolling. GBR!

ohhhhhhh boy. Its getting closer and closer every day. I have been watching the website and reading about there team. i think there going to change it around and hopefully get into the top 25 by the end of the year. Its going to take alot to get there, but i have a feeling there going to make it.

I'd be interested in getting together at Sensers for the game. Don't know about the whole fishing thing as I sold my boat. But I'm definately in for Sensors.
Might have to go see Bass N Spear this spring when taxes come back. Need mre of a family boat.

thats sounds like a great idea!

3 more days, guys.

I'll be at Senser's in time for kickoff. I should be easy to spot... I'll be wearing a red hat.

My prediction: NU 48 - WVU 17. The running game will dominate.

where getting closer and closer every day. Im getting pretty pumped up to see a turn around this year for the huskers.

So how many of u will be at Sensors on saturday for the game.
I might make it, still haven't got an answer from my wife on if she wants to go or not. Last minute decision i guess.
Go Skers
