Below is everything in the game that involves the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

New Field Turf

The new colors on the field really pop in the virtual stadium. I'm sure they'll look just as good in person on game day.

Uniforms

Nebraska doesn't have much for uniform options in real life, and that continues in EA Sports College Football 26. The Huskers have the traditional red tops with white bottoms at home and white tops with red bottoms on the road. You can also choose all reds and all whites.

Tunnel Walk

The Tunnel Walk has made its way to EA Sports College Football 26, and you can take part. As a player in Road To Glory mode, you can work your way up to a scholarship offer from Nebraska and sign with the Big Red. Once there, you get to go through the Husker pregame tradition of touching the horseshoe before running onto the field at Memorial Stadium.

Touchdown Balloons

The balloons aren't just back at Memorial Stadium in real life; they've hit the video game world as well. The Sea of Red releases red balloons on the first touchdown for Nebraska during home games. Do they look a bit wonky in their digitized version? Absolutely. But wonky balloons are better than no balloons.

Depth Chart

Perhaps an early look at Nebraska's depth chart this fall, these are sorted by best overall for the skills needed at each position. Note that only 85 players are allowed on the rosters in CFB26, meaning there are a number of players on the Husker roster that are not in the game.
