It was announced today that Jared Crick will miss the rest of his senior season because of a torn pectoral muscle. The official statement from Bo Pelini:
"After further examination on Tuesday, it was determined that Jared Crick has a torn pectoral muscle and he will be out for the remainder of the season.
"I feel extremely bad for Jared. He is a young man who has represented this program in a first-class manner throughout his career. He made an unselfish decision to come back to Nebraska for his senior year and earn his degree, which he did this summer. He has also been a leader on and off the field and a young man who has made a positive impact in our community. Jared has a bright future in front of him on the field at the professional level. I know he will bounce back from this, and become a stronger player and person.
"It is a tough blow for our football team to lose a player of Jared's caliber, but we have players that are capable of stepping up and filling the void."
This is a huge blow for Nebraska as the defense is already struggling this year. Even though his stats haven't been great this year, his presence and leadership will be missed on the field. The Sports Illustrated cover curse has hit again.
Crick is currently 7th on the team in tackles this season with 22 total, 15 assisted and seven unassisted. He had only one sack this season, but will finish his Husker career eighth on the Nebraska career sacks list with 20. Crick recorded 3.5 tackles for loss this season, finishing with 35 career tackles for loss, and 167 total career tackles.
Crick had already had injury problems earlier in the season, missing the Wyoming game due to an injury suffered against the Washington Huskies. He had started 31 straight games previous to Wyoming.
Crick was a first-team All-Big 12 selection the past two seasons and was selected to 2011 pre-season watch lists for the Outland, Lombardi, Nagurski and Bednark awards for top defensive player.
Senior Terrence Moore and redshirt freshman Chase Rome are Crick's backups. Moore has played in all six games this season, starting two. He has three tackles on the season, along with three quarterback hurries. Chase Room has played in four games this season, totaling four tackles, one tackle for loss and a sack.
Not to worry Husker fans, someone will step up and a new star will emerge.

Wow, that's terrible.
I really hope it doesn’t completely sink his draft stock – you hate to see a guy get penalized for staying in school.
He was already dropping anyway.
He needed a strong second half to bolster his first-round status. Not good at all.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

Unfortunately it probably will
But the thing is that he’s shown what he can do already. I look for a coach like Bill Bellichick to look past the surface and steal him late in the first round though. (And the pats desperately need a better pass rush, so I could see them going for a DT or DE anyways)
Look me up on youtube sometime...if you're really bored.
I'm hoping this makes him available for the Packers at 32.

Late in the first?
I doubt he goes that high. I’m thinking 2nd or 3rd.
Oh well – long ways to go and a lot yet to determine, anyway.

Dan Kadar at MTD doesn't think it will hurt him too much.
He has him in the 25-50 range.

So what now?
I think Chase Rome has the best chance to step up and fill the spot. But any others? I’ve never been overly impressed with Steinkuhler at DT, so we really do need someone to step up and be better than Steinkuhler.

I feel terrible for Jared.
I hope he has a full/speedy recovery so he can pursue an NFL career (assuming that is his wish). Jared will always be a Husker and is already an alumnus. Good luck to you, Jared!
Team impact: Time for our deep D-Line to step up and fill the shoes…..I am looking in Chase Rome’s direction.
Will we see Todd Peat Jr. this season?
I doubt it due to the depth we have at the DT position, but he’s supposed to be pretty talented and we definitely need someone who can create disruption. Another player that might see the field more is Jay Guy.

Time to change
what you expect from the defensive line.
They don’t need to get a lot of tackles, TFL’s or sacks. They just need to plug the middle, consume blockers, and allow no big holes.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

That means it's time to expect more from the secondary
If the QB has time to throw, somebody better be covering the other team’s receivers.

Not that it wasn't scary already
But this makes the Michigan game/DRobinson even scarier…

Nah
It’s not like Jared was going to be able to catch D-rob if he takes off anyways. As John said in the comment above, we need our D-line to “plug the middle, consume blockers, and allow no big holes.” He’s absolutely right. But I think this puts more pressure on the secondary to step up their game. Our D-line appeared disruptive last season because of a suffocating secondary and coverage sacks. As for the Michigan game, just sick Lavonte on D-rob and we’ll be fine :)

*sigh*
A Cornhusker through feast or famine. Get up, dust yourself off and run the ball. That's the Nebraska way.

Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

Sorry Jared...
Get well soon. Here’s to a great recovery and a shot to turn some heads in the combines.
@#$%!
Best of luck to Crick in recovery and the NFL. Time for someone to step up to take his place.
SEC...great conference or the greatest conference?

He does need a nickname...
Chase “Rest” Rome…
Or how’s this one work – Chase “the Dispenser of Pain” Rome…
Trying to stay positive.
At least there is some depth at DT. And timing was as good as it could have been with a bye week and the Minnesota game for these young defensive tackles to get some more reps. Crick didn’t have a great first half of the season, but he will still be missed. Good luck to Jared Crick at the combines.
