Nebraska Football: Why the Huskers need Mike Williams to step up in 2019

When it comes to the Nebraska football team, there are a lot of reasons to be excited about the offense heading into the 2019 season. However, there are some question marks too and one of them comes at wide receiver.

Last season, Nebraska had two of top wide receivers in the Big Ten with Stanley Morgan Jr. and also JD Spielman. Morgan went over 1,000 yards and caught seven touchdowns, while Spielman also hauled in 68 passes for 818 yards and eight touchdowns.

The two were ideal targets for freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez and when it comes down to it, Morgan is one of the most productive receivers in Nebraska football history.
