Anthony Colandrea News, Rumors, Updates - Nebraska Cornhuskers | FOX Sports

Single score in defeat Colandrea was 32-for-43 passing for 284 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 24-13 defeat versus Illinois. He also had nine rushes for 27 yards.

Impact Though Colandrea threw for a season-high 284 yards while completing nearly 75 percent of his passes against the Fighting Illini, he threw for just a single touchdown as the Huskers were held to just 13 points in defeat. The 6-foot senior connected with receiver Jacory Barney for a 51-yard scoring strike in the fourth quarter, bringing the Cornhuskers within one score at the time. He will hope to get things back on track during Saturday's road matchup against Rutgers.

Three interceptions in defeat Colandrea completed 24 of 44 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 17-10 defeat to Washington. He also had seven rushes for 20 yards.

Impact Colandrea had his worst game of the season against the Huskies on Saturday, completing less than 55 percent of his passes while accounting for his first multi-turnover game of the year. The 6-foot senior found the end zone with a 24-yard touchdown toss to tight end Carter Nelson in the first quarter but turned the ball over three times against the Huskies including a pick-six late in the fourth quarter, giving Washington a 10 point lead in the final minutes. Colandrea will hope for better days moving forward, with his next opportunity coming against Illinois on Saturday.

Will return to Nebraska in 2027 Colandrea will return to Nebraska for the team's 2027 season, Daniel Hager of On3.com reports.

Impact Nebraska will not need to worry about lacking a legitimate option at quarterback for 2027. Colandrea transferred to the Huskers' program with ample experience from his time at Virginia and UNLV. Thus far, Colandrea's move to Nebraska has paid off for the Huskers, who have gotten a 62.6 completion rate on 219 pass attempts for 1,570 yards and a 14-4 TD-INT ratio across his seven games. The dual-threat quarterback's running has been a problem either, with his 68 rushing attempts for 334 yards and four touchdowns giving Nebraska a multi-faceted option under center. This is even before the Huskers' October schedule has finished, meaning he still has a lot of time to make some noise before 2026 comes to a close.

Impact Colandrea connected with receiver Kwazi Gilmer for a 17-yard scoring strike with seconds on the clock in the first half, giving the Cornhuskers the first score of the game before finding the end zone himself on a sex-yard scamper at the end of the third quarter, extending the Nebraska lead the eight points at the time. While he has thrown an interception in three consecutive games now, the 6-foot senior continues to provide value with his legs as he has now totaled 334 yards and four touchdowns on the ground through seven games this season. His next opportunity will come against Washington following the team's upcoming bye.

Rushing score in loss Colandrea completed 25 of 43 passes for 263 yards and one interception during Saturday's 20-17 defeat versus Indiana. He also had 17 rushes for 47 yards with one touchdown.

Impact It was not the best day for Colandrea as a passer, as he was held scoreless through the air for the first time this season. The 6-foot senior managed to salvage his day with a rushing score, however, crossing the goal line on a 39-yard scoring scamper in the fourth quarter, giving the Cornhuskers a 17-6 lead at the time. Colandrea has been very effective as a runner recently, totaling 221 yards and a touchdown on the ground through his last three games. His next opportunity will come against Oregon on Saturday.
