Two touchdowns in blowout Gilmer gathered in all six targets for 39 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 56-7 win over Bowling Green.

Impact Despite being held to a modest 39 yards on the day, Gilmer shined with his 100 percent catch rate and found the end zone on a pair of touchdown tosses. The 6-foot-2 junior connected with quarterback Anthony Colandrea on scoring strikes of 12 and four yards in the first and second quarters, respectively, to help build the insurmountable Nebraska lead. Gilmer has seen a steady volume of passes through two games and has shown a nose for the end zone, both of which are positives signs for his potential as the 2026 season progresses. A final tuneup matchup against FCS North Dakota awaits on Saturday before the start of the Big Ten conference slate.
