Five Nebraska Cornhuskers for Ducks fans to know heading into Week 7

As the Nebraska Cornhuskers prepare to face Oregon in Week 7, Ducks fans should keep an eye on a few standout players from the Huskers’ roster. Quarterback Anthony Colandrea has emerged as a dual-threat leader, throwing for 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions while adding 296 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

His ability to extend plays with his legs proved decisive in Nebraska’s Week 6 win over Indiana, where he capitalized on scrambles for big gains. On the ground, redshirt freshman running back Jamal Rule has taken over as the team’s primary ball-carrier, averaging 6.8 yards per carry and already showcasing his explosive potential with long runs of 59, 55, and 39 yards this season.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Kwazi Gilmer, Nebraska’s top receiver, has matched his UCLA production with 418 receiving yards and six touchdowns in just six games, using his slippery hands and route-running to create separation. Defensively, linebacker Owen Chambliss leads a physical unit, having recorded 109 tackles in 2025 and continuing to dominate at the point of attack in his first season with the Cornhuskers.
