Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Utep Miners team news
Nebraska Cornhuskers team news
Nebraska is showing promising signs under head coach Matt Rhule, and the future looks bright with their new quarterback. Dylan Raiola, the son of former Husker All-American center Dominic Raiola and nephew of offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, is expected to lead the offense. He'll be throwing to senior wideouts Isaiah Neyor and Jahmal Banks, the latter having joined from Wake Forest.
In the backfield, the rushing game will be led by sophomore Emmett Johnson and junior Gabe Ervin Jr., both returning from last season. Nebraska’s defense is also poised to remain strong, building on a solid 11th-place national finish in total defense.
Utep Miners team news
UTEP made a significant change by parting ways with head coach Dana Dimel and bringing in Scott Waldren, who brought several transfers from his former team at Austin Peay.
The Miners have to rebuild their entire offensive line after losing last year’s starters, with two Austin Peay transfers stepping in to help fill the gaps. Cade McConnell returns at quarterback, though he had a challenging 2023 season, throwing for just 1,437 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions over six starts. However, Skylar Locklear, a backup at Austin Peay last year who had spent the previous two seasons in Waldren’s system, won the starting job over McConnell.
UTEP also faces the task of replacing all of their key skill position players, having lost their top three running backs and top four receivers from last season. The new lineup includes Austin Peay transfers at tailback and receiver, but it remains a largely untested group.
