Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea addresses poor performance

Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea has taken responsibility for his performance during a 17-10 loss to Washington. Colandrea threw for 255 yards and one touchdown but also recorded three interceptions, including a 48-yard pick-six in the final minutes of the game.

Following the loss, Colandrea stated that he failed to meet the offensive standard and noted that the team cannot expect to win while turning the ball over multiple times. Offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and head coach Matt Rhule suggested Colandrea appeared overly amped during the contest, emphasizing the need for him to play with confidence and composure.

Despite the recent three-game losing streak, Colandrea remains committed to the program, having recently signed an extension to return for his final year of eligibility in 2027. The Huskers are now preparing for an upcoming matchup against Illinois.
