## Resource

Nebraska’s season opener against Ohio showed flashes of promise and glaring flaws—starting slow but rallying with 21 fourth-quarter points, proving grit but also exposing the danger of digging too deep. QB Anthony Colandrea looked poised, protecting the ball and extending plays, while the running back duo and offensive line hint at a potent ground game. But penalties, dropped passes, and inconsistent execution are holding them back. Defense showed flashes of speed and potential, especially in coverage and linebacker play, but struggles against mobile QBs and a weak pass rush remain urgent concerns. With Owen Chambliss returning, the defense could finally gel. Talent is there, depth is strong, but Nebraska must now deliver four full quarters of disciplined, physical football if they hope to compete in the Big Ten.
