#1 THE CALLS ARE GOING NEBRASKA’S WAY
Some individuals might imagine it is a bizarre motive to place in in any respect, not to mention primary, however right here me out. For the previous decade or extra Nebraska followers have grown accustom to each up within the air name or play going in opposition to us. Simply once we suppose there is no such thing as a method {that a} name might stand or that some freak play might really rely, it will.
Final week in opposition to Michigan State, Nebraska was getting the calls and the performs had been going their method. There have been two fumbles within the recreation, however we jumped on one and one other went out of bounds. There have been just a few performs that needed to be reviewed however the calls went Nebraska’s method. Simply when the Huskers would lose momentum the Spartans would get a giant penalty that might hold them in it and Nebraska would capitalize.

# 2 ANTHONY COLANDREA
Anthony Colandrea has proven time and time once more why he was the Mountain West Offensive Participant of the 12 months in 2025. Each time the Huskers could not get something going final week, Colandrea got here by means of with each his legs and his arm. The way in which he can scramble and the accuracy of his arm, particularly in tight home windows is nice. When your quarterback is taking part in to win, the chances are in your favor.
#3 THE HUSKER DEFENSE
Nebraska’s protection was smothering in opposition to Michigan State. They tallied six sacks and compelled three turnovers. 4 video games into the 12 months the Husker protection is ranked 1st within the Massive Ten and fifth within the nation in complete protection, solely permitting about 233 yards per recreation. They may face a Maryland offense that has averaged 431 yards per recreation and is seventh within the Massive Ten in complete offense.

This Nebraska protection appears to be like to get higher each recreation and whereas the Terrapins passing offense is bound to check them, the blackshirts are certain to close down Marylands offesne.
#4 Kwazi Gilmer
It has turn out to be apparent that Kwazi Gilmer is a favourite goal of Anthony Colandrea. It is for good motive too, Gilmer had some superb catches final week in opposition to the Spartans. He has been arising huge time when the Huskers want him and I count on that to proceed on Saturday.
Jacory Barney Jr and Quinn Clark may also contribute to the offense, however proper now Gilmer is the recent hand.
#5 THE HUSKER RUSH GAME
I just like the match up between the Huskers operating backs and Maryland’s rush protection. Final week was not the perfect week for the Husker operating backs, and Jamal Rule was banged up, nevertheless this week might be completely different. I feel Rule and Co. will have the ability to get into the Maryland backfield and make a huge impact on this recreation.
Let’s go for 5-0!
GOOOO BIIIGGG REEDDDDDD!!
