Comfortable, yes. Great, no.

Pat Stacy

Depth, versatility.

Terry Darnall

By mid season the O line will be much better than last year. There should be some holes to run through. If Newby continues to be tenitive, then Ozibo or Wilbon will take over. There's options that's why I think running game will be good.

Keith Petrie

But someone is going to have to step up and be the Workhorse!

Kent A. Lang

Yes. We're stacked! Newby will be a stud!

Richard German

He'll yes, I just want to know who will be the most hungry N want to punish his opponents

Valerie Gilmore

Just seems better to have more than less at a highly injury prone position

Byron Augustin

One of these players is going to break through.

Dan Cubrich

I think they'll be fine.

Ron Bauer

NU has plenty of outstanding backs. Coach should use ALL of them according to their own skill sets. Do the "unantici- pated.

I guess since I am on the fence it is not a yes, but it is not really a no either. I wonder more about the line and the blockers who will make those running backs job a bit easier.

Isaiah Skrdla

I don't think that Reggie Davis is a very good motivator. After having a motivator like Ron Brown it wouldn't surprise me to see a lull in performance until the backs adjust.

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Double D

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

Does Anthony Colandrea’s skill set change how Nebraska can design its offense?

Linda Ogren

YES have QB option run pass

Robert Lloyd

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Ruthie Patterson

Mobile QB

Michael Gross

Running quarterback opens ton on new plays.

Scott Ferguson

Mobility is a good thing to have. Opens up a few things.

John Haller

It better or Holgorsen will need to be the next firing

Joe Hegarty

I sure hope so.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
