Summary
Nebraska’s 2026 season hinges on one question: can they finally turn the corner? After back-to-back seven-win campaigns, the Cornhuskers are banking on major defensive upgrades—new transfers like Anthony Jones and defensive tackles Stoudmire and Whittington—to fix their leaky run defense and boost the pass rush. The elite secondary, led by Andrew Marshall and rookie Rex Guthrie, must stay dominant while adapting to a stronger front. Offensively, a loaded line and deep receiving corps, anchored by Nyziah Hunter and Kwazi Gilmer, could thrive—if new QB Anthony Colandrea can deliver under pressure. The season will be a litmus test for whether Nebraska’s rebuild is finally clicking. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
