Anthony Colandrea
QB at Nebraska for 2026. Show has a noted soft spot for him. Pairing with Matt Rhule and Dana Holgorsen is one of the show's most-anticipated new combinations of the cycle. The structural read: high-floor, low-ceiling profile — but the show is openly excited.
The Colandrea pivot also functions as the show's case-study for the "bad football drives fans away" take — Nebraska fans frustrated with Matt Rhule and Dylan Raiola pivot to Colandrea-energy because Colandrea is fun, not because anyone fixed structural concerns.
Current Show Posture
As of 2026-10-07:
Colandrea is the central playmaker in Nebraska’s improved offense. Against Indiana, the hosts think his improvisation and rushing can create the exceptional plays Nebraska needs, but only if the Huskers avoid penalties that squander them.
