Nebraska Cornhuskers
· 2026-06-29
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are gearing up for their next game against the Ohio Bobcats on September 5, 2026.
Anthony Colandrea brings impressive credentials to Lincoln after two seasons at Virginia and a stint as the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year at UNLV.
Colandrea's strength is his accuracy while throwing on the run, which could reduce sacks.
But there's a caveat: Colandrea's adjustment to the Big Ten's bigger stage is uncertain.
Matt Rhule made sweeping changes on both sides of the ball, including new coaches Rob Aurich, Geep Wade, and Roy Manning.
These changes aim to address obvious shortcomings in 2025.
Rhule is starting his fourth season in Lincoln with a 19-19 record.
The new quarterback and coaching changes bring excitement and hope for improvement.
Colandrea's athleticism could result in more points for the Huskers.
The running back room is a concern after last season.
Offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen spoke confidently about the 2026 running back room, but questions remain.
The Huskers' schedule is brutal, with games against Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon.
And the team's performance in the last three games of the 2025 season was disappointing.
So the Huskers are working to improve and make a strong showing in the 2026 season.
But for now, fans can look forward to the upcoming game against the Ohio Bobcats.
The Huskers hope to make a good impression and start the season strong.
With Colandrea at the helm, the team is looking to make some changes and improve their record.
And with the new coaches on board, the Huskers are ready to take on the challenges of the 2026 season.
