## Resource

Nebraska is poised for a breakout 2026 season, aiming for their first College Football Playoff appearance since the Big Ten era. After a disappointing 7-6 campaign last year—derailed by injuries, especially to QB Dylan Raiola, who’s now gone to Oregon—the Huskers are reloading with a new signal-caller and a dominant running game led by Mekhi Nelson. Head coach Matt Rhule, in his fourth season, seeks that elusive championship contender status, while a revamped defense, anchored by freshman cornerback Danny Odem, looks to shut down elite offenses. With tough tests against Ohio State, Michigan State, and Oregon on tap, Nebraska’s path to the top is steep—but they’re ready to fight for it.
