If blowouts are going to hurt MM’s stats for the HIsman bid
My top concern is definitely cancer.
Mine is linebackers, particularly the pass rush. Losing Griffin is going to hurt bad. Jasinski will be fine up the middle. That handsome sum a bish should have a great year. It's the outside that concerns me.
I’m worried about more ACL tears on the Oline.
Can’t go 27-0 without protecting MM
Clever.
In all honesty, the biggest concern really shoukd be buy-in. For every success like frost at UCF there is a Dubose at Bama or Strong at Texass where it just doesnt work.
Defensive philosophy. From what I have read, Shannon seems to have a very basic philosophy, not doing anything to confuse the offense, and limited basic blitzes.
I'm worried that the upper level cabana trash will make their way down and hijack our bar and bathrooms.
I’m worried (not really) that the entire state of Nobraska will pull a Jim Jones if they lose to Troy or Colorado. Wasn’t it laced Kool-Aide?
You better believe it. I still remember back in 96 when AZ st beat us for pur first loss in 2 years and there were tv reports about how the suicide hotline had double the traffic the next day. People here are crazy about husker football.
O'leary's defenses didn't blitz a lot, and they were usually stout. It's hard to say what Shannon is going to do, but I highly doubt he is not going to do anything to confuse offenses. A lot of the success or failure of the defense will be d-line play and it's pass rush, but I think they will be fine.
That Hescock will be too big for his britches.
Especially since a lot of talk about him hanging in the pocket more, got to protect his blind side......
Hescock blocking is an art form.Hescock will be a better blocker than Akins was. Especially at bars.
It's all about keeping offenses out of the endzone. Blitz packages without effective blitzers are free yards.
Looking at MM stats last year it would be crazy to change the way he plays. JH would be smart to run a very similar passing attack until MM graduates.
My favorite stat “MM was #1 in passing efficiency for QB’s returning to school next season”
This is mine too. If Heuple and Shannon can get along.
That we'll finish another perfect season and the Nebraska fans will still be here.
That we lose our top 4 defensive tackles after this year and then have to play FAU, Pitt and Stanford 3 weeks in a row in 2019 with inexperienced D tackles (yes, I'm assuming that Trysten declares after this season).
I know this is a 2019 concern and not about the upcoming season. However, the topic is what is your "top" concern. That is mine. That we finally get the toughest OOC schedule that we have ever had, but it occurs when our defensive line may be at its most inexperienced point that we have had in the last 5 years.

Yes he had a great year. But improving is never a crazy idea. Everyone can improve. That's the nature of being a competitor.
Why leave your most valuable asset standing in the pocket longer when we have 5 weapons ready for a quick toss who can make one guy miss and go 80 yards?
I agree. That said, is it safer for a QB in the pocket or running the ball? Running QBs might have a bigger target on their back and will likely get hit in ways that will cause more injuries.
It's also the most talented D-line that we'll have. We still have Zio, Zayas, Cholewa. 6'7" & 6'8"
MM doesn't really look to run. He extends the pocket and looks for open teammates. If none of them are open, then he runs for big yards. It's unstoppable if everybody is doing their part.
