Nebraska football enters spring practice with uncertainty for the 2026 season. After back-to-back bowl appearances, the Cornhuskers aim to surpass seven wins since 2016. Early predictions place them below the Big Ten top half and out of top 25 contention. The quarterback battle between transfer Anthony Colandrea and sophomore TJ Lateef takes center stage. Offense gains strength with three returning linemen and skilled receivers. Defense, a weakness last year, faces improvement under new coordinator Rob Aurich. Experts are divided on the win total, with some predicting over 7.5 wins and others at 6.5, due to late-season collapses and a challenging schedule. Spring practice will reveal if Nebraska can build momentum or maintain bowl eligibility, setting the stage for another crucial fall.
