Adam Carriker Predicts Nebraska's 2026 Season

Nebraska Football, Matt Rhule, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers' 2026 season and schedule are broken down as Husker legend Adam Carriker predicts the season. Carriker is much higher on this Nebraska team than other pundits, for objective reasons. He and I are aligned on offensive line coach Geep Wade improving Nebraska's offensive line, the Blackshirt defense stepping up under new defensive coordinator Rob Aurich, and that Anthony Colandrea has high upside. Carriker predicts that Nebraska will pick off one of the Washington Huskies and Iowa Hawkeyes, but needs to see more before picking Nebraska to go toe-to-toe with the Indiana Hoosiers, Ohio State Buckeyes, or Oregon Ducks. 6-6 is the floor, and 9-3 is the ceiling.

ESPN's FPI Power Rankings, Top College Football Storylines, Indiana football, Oregon football, Ohio State football, Michigan football, Oklahoma football, Michigan State Football, and Georgia Football are the focus of the 82nd College Football with Sam live show.
