On paper, the numbers favor the Big Red, but the Huskers have struggled against elite quarterbacks like Colorado's Shedeur Sanders in recent years
The Colorado game is perhaps the biggest game on the Huskers' schedule in 2024. Colorado is not the best team Nebraska will face in 2024 , but an old Big 8 rival is the perfect litmus test for Nebraska's goal of taking its next step to a bowl berth.
Colorado may have the most talented QB-WR combination in the country, with both players potentially going in the top 10 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Shedeur Sanders is an accurate passer and, in 2023, among QBs with at least 400 attempts, ranked second in interception percentage and third in completion percentage. The Husker defensive line will be its most important weapon in slowing down the Buffalo's passing game this week.
