I don't get the Joe Ganz references. He wasn't a highly regarded recruit, was underrated in the fact he should have started over Sam Keller in 2007 (coincidentally, a HIGHLY overrated QB) and was a very efficient QB as a senior starter in 2008.
He was a good QB. Not great, but I've never heard anyone call him that.

Speaking of that, Sam Keller should be in this discussion imo

Charlie McBride called him the best DT he ever coached.

IMO Nate Swift is a top 5 WR at Nebraska all-time. There's a hot take.

Farley was a game changer. I remember someone on those teams saying he was a horrible practice player, but absolutely flipped a switch when the bright lights came on. I loved watching him play.
My heretical Nebraska take is that Suh was slightly overrated. A great player who should have won the Heisman, but piled up stats in a couple games, and dominated McCoy & Texas so memorably that people think he was that dominant every game. More a case of the folklore getting swept away than any real negatives about him.

He's always first to pop up in my mind. Couldn't understand why he would seemingly trip over thin air in the back field every handful of plays.

Yup, I lived in the ATL from 91-96 and you heard a lot of anti-Husker crowing only because he was a big bust (and we were on a bowl losing streak, lost to GT, etc). Only when we started our run in 93 did the natives stop giving me grief.
A defensive tackle who "should have won the Heisman" was overrated? That is a hot take! haha

Rufus? Haven't heard that name in a LONG time. Is he on any other boards?
Hasn't been on Inside Nebraska for at least a couple years if not more. But yes, he had some terrible takes or some great trolls.
