Nebraska coaching staff excited about 'new look' offense in 2026
Nebraska quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas met with the media on Wednesday afternoon.
Nebraska's coaching staff expressed enthusiasm about the team's offensive transformation for the 2026 season. Quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas highlighted the arrival of UNLV transfer Anthony Colandrea as a key component of this new offensive strategy. Colandrea, a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, had an impressive junior year at UNLV, where he threw for 3,459 yards, 23 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, along with 649 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
This performance earned him the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year award. Prior to UNLV, Colandrea spent two seasons at Virginia. The staff, particularly Thomas, emphasized Colandrea's ability to read the field and make quick decisions, acknowledging that a great quarterback possesses a unique perspective on the game. Nebraska's season kicks off on September 5, 2026, when they host the Ohio Bobcats at Memorial Stadium.
The game, which will be broadcast on FS1, serves as the team's first opportunity to implement this revamped offensive approach.
