Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Colorado Buffaloes team news
Nebraska Cornhuskers team news
Nebraska's quarterback woes were a significant issue last season, as the Huskers' signal-callers managed just 1,631 passing yards across 12 games, tallying 10 touchdowns while throwing 16 interceptions. These struggles played a major role in Nebraska’s dismal minus-17 turnover differential, which ranked as the second-worst in the FBS. However, the passing game has undergone an overhaul, with freshman Dylan Raiola earning the starting quarterback spot and the arrival of transfer wideouts Isaiah Neyor (from Texas and Wyoming) and Jahmal Banks (from Wake Forest).
The new additions made an immediate impact, leading the team in receiving against UTEP, combining for 10 catches, 182 yards, and both touchdowns. In his debut for Nebraska, quarterback Raiola completed 67% of his throws, including two touchdown passes. Neyor, a transfer wideout, made an instant impact, racking up 121 yards and a touchdown in the victory.
Colorado Buffaloes team news
Whether you love them or not, Deion Sanders and his squad have a knack for grabbing headlines. Their offense dazzled in the opening game, but the defense has some areas to tighten up. Shedeur Sanders proved why he's one of the most thrilling quarterbacks in college football, racking up an impressive 445 passing yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in the victory over North Dakota State. However, the defense allowed 449 yards to a non-FBS opponent, raising questions about their ability to hold up against stiffer competition.
Travis Hunter could arguably be the most versatile player in college football. He played 52 snaps as a receiver and 49 as a cornerback, amassing 132 receiving yards and hauling in three touchdowns. The big question is whether he can maintain this dual role against more formidable opponents. Jimmy Horn Jr., another standout at wide receiver, contributed significantly with 198 receiving yards and a touchdown in the win.
