The Nebraska Cornhuskers have announced Anthony Colandrea as their starting quarterback for the season opener, set for September 5 against the Ohio Bobcats. Colandrea transferred to Nebraska from UNLV following a strong junior year where he threw for 3,459 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions, along with 649 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, earning him the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year award.
Prior to UNLV, Colandrea played two seasons at Virginia. The Nebraska team is seeking a new opening-day quarterback after Dylan Raiola transferred to Oregon.
