Anthony Colandrea Looking to Elevate Nebraska Back to National Contention
Nebraska starting quarterback Anthony Colandrea, who comes to Lincoln after two seasons at Virginia and one season at UNLV, has high expectations for Matt Rhule's Huskers in 2026. "I want to win a national championship; I want to go to the playoffs," Colandrea told On3. "I have high expectations, and we have high expectations as a team. "When I first got here, it felt like the bar was eight or nine wins, and I was like, no -- we want to win 11, 12 games. We've got to go win. That's the biggest thing." Colandrea is stepping in for former blue-chip QB recruit Dylan Raiola, who has moved on to Oregon. In 33 career games with the Cavaliers and Rebels, Colandrea has tallied 7,542 passing yards, 49 passing touchdowns, 1,151 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, and 29 interceptions. He led UNLV to 10 wins and a spot in the Mountain West title game a season ago. With games against Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State on the schedule, leading the Huskers to 11 or 12 wins would be quite the feat.
