The Huskers will be without Dylan Raiola and Emmett Johnson for the 2026 football season, and Nebraska happens to also have a brutal schedule that includes games against Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, Iowa and Washington. With the transfer portal in this day and age of college football, Carriker actually thinks Nebraska could be in an OK spot.
