Huskers on KVSH this Saturday

Nebraska kicks off its 2026 season Saturday against Ohio at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m., and the game will be televised by FS1. 

The Cornhuskers are coming off a second straight 7-6 campaign in 2025. Four of Nebraska's six losses last season came to ranked opponents, including a three-point loss to Michigan and a four-point loss to USC.

 Nebraska returns six starters on offense and six starters on defense, plus 10 others players who made at least one start in 2025. Nebraska also brings back its starting punter and place-kicker from last season.

Adding to the experience is the addition of 16 transfers, including 15 FBS transfers. Nebraska's transfer class has combined for 200 career starts, including 188 starts for FBS programs and 112 starts for teams in a Power Four conference.

Offensively, Nebraska returns its top two receivers, its starting tight end and three starting linemen from 2025. The Huskers have two quarterbacks - Anthony Colandrea and TJ Lateef - who have started multiple games with Colandrea earning 2025 Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors at UNLV. The line is bolstered by three Power Four transfers with a combined 56 starts between them.

Defensively, NU returns four of its top six tacklers from 2025. The Huskers also added eight talented transfers with a combined 92 collegiate starts between them.
