I think he got bypassed and then maybe hurt? He reappeared in 98 as a goal line option QB

Posted on August 4, 2026 at 03:22:48 PM by Rich

The truth is Dreisbach was more talented than Griese. But he broke his thumb as a freshman and then got hurt late in the year as a soph. He had a lot of mobility and threw a nice ball. Moeller loved him but he didn't get to coach him.
