Lee Confident Following Ganz as Nebraska?s New No. 1 Quarterback

Zac Lee began Fall Camp Saturday as Nebraska's new No. 1 quarterback, and it's difficult to imagine him being any more comfortable and confident than he was interacting first with hundreds of the 7,500 fans on Fan Day, then facing a full complement of the media before attending a meeting and participating in practice.

After an aggressive summer of voluntary workouts with his teammates, Lee said he's ready for Husker offensive coordinator Shawn Watson to keep pushing him and even add some new wrinkles to Nebraska's offense.

"You have to keep going and keep evolving on offense," Lee said after his regular press conference, which can be seen and heard on Huskers.com Exclusive Videos. A highlight of Lee's Saturday remarks is also featured here.

"The more stuff he (Watson) keeps throwing at me, the better," Lee said. "The more ways we can attack people the better. We're going to attack people the way they'll allow us to and not worry about inexperience."

Because Nebraska's quarterbacks and inexperienced receivers have worked all spring and all summer together, "We feel pretty confident with our chemistry," Lee said. "It can always improve, but I feel we're on pretty solid ground on offense. We have a lot of speed on the field which means people have to cover the entire field and that's a great luxury.

"I think we're more comfortable with everything," Lee added, pointing out that a staff beginning its second year enables the Huskers to feel "more together and more organized. I think it will allow us to just play and not be so worried about learning stuff. We can stop thinking so much and just react because we're so comfortable with what's going on."

For Lee, that's important, because "I don't want to be thinking at all out there," he said. "I want everything to be a reaction and everything to be second nature. I want to do everything subconsciously."

Ganz left a legacy of leadership, and Lee did everything possible to put his own stamp on the offense and the team through the summer months.

Lee said he stays in touch with Ganz as much as possible. "Joe's doing well," Lee said. "He wished me luck and told me I'll do fine. I think he's pretty confident in me."
