-CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli labeled Colandrea as “The Whoopsy Daisy King” when he was at Virginia---pointing out a high fumble/INT

rate while also producing big plays….and that’s why a lot of Husker fans see a Jeff Sims 2.0 situation in Lincoln with Colandrea

-It’s not healthy to live like that, though, especially with the season 5 months away…so how can you coach that out of him?

-CBS Sports’ Cody Nagel put out his thoughts on the over/under for team wins for each B1G team, and has Nebraska going OVER 6.5

wins, with a bold prediction that Nebraska’s embarrassing streak of losses vs. ranked teams will end when Washington comes to town

on Halloween

-He does have Nebraska going 7-5 which still isn’t great for expectations, but with the schedule as tough as it looks in 2026…it’s

something? His wins for Nebraska: Ohio, Bowling Green, North Dakota, at Michigan State, Maryland, at Rutgers and Washington

they forget he’s coached in the Midwest his whole life, is FROM Iowa, and was born in Iowa City?

-Think back to last Thursday when we were all in Houston, watching Nebraska lead Iowa for 38 minutes of gametime, only to fall short

at the end…then, that same Iowa team pushed Illinois for 33 minutes before the last 7 got away from them in a 71-59 Illini win.

-The Illini will be joined in the Final Four by Michigan, who took care of Tennessee yesterday; they’ll face Arizona, who pulled away

from Purdue to advance to Indianapolis. First Final Four for Illinois since 2005, and first for Arizona since 2001….
