What is your biggest question mark going into game week?
- Thread starter CyGuy5
- Start date
Others have said it but mine will be if the Defense will change it up a little. Seems like we have been copied enough that the 3-3-5 is not the advantage that it used to be, offences are more familiar on how to attack. Lima and Johnson not there to anchor the NG, maybe more 4 down linemen?

I thought it would be out as well. I am wondering if they won't release any this year because guys could all of the sudden be ruled out because of testing etc a day before the game? or there were positions that weren't settled yet?
Hoping to see something better for the first game - we have a pretty veteran team and starting the season a little later so we should see better.
Agree.
I suppose many will say that comes back to "offensive line," but that can't be the *only* factor.
An X-factor: Can the defense get off the field consistently when it's 3rd and 22?
I think getting Bailey back should help, but to me it also seemed like Enyi had a down year last season. I think both of them return back to their previous levels of production and we should see improvement. I agree that the 3-3-5 is starting to get figured out, so hopefully Heacock is willing to adjust
Scheme, play-calling, it can be running backs but I think ISU's are pretty good, and will we have an H-back kind of player like we had a couple years ago? All sub-questions, in addition to do we use the big QB's we have in a Lanning kind of package?
You did see our offense last season right? We are a much better team when Purdy can run, plain and simple
Then it’s on Manning to fix that. They are going to have to do everything possible to keep Purdy healthy.
Granted there will be times when he’ll be forced to scramble, but I don’t think it’s smart to run very many designed QB runs when we have no backup basically.
It already took a lightning storm of epic proportions to keep that “slump” from being broken. South Dakota State was about to get pounded.
I hope you’re not saying “Can lightning strike twice?”
Isn’t the question “Which head coaching job(s) will Matt Campbell be rumored for?”Will Matt Campbell be rumored to be a candidate for any other coaching jobs?
1) Run blocking by a grand canyon margin
2) Get pressure on the QB. Our defense can be #1 in the conference with steady pressure. The soft zone looks only work when the QB has under 3 seconds to throw the ball
