- Defensively, Nebraska has hired Rob Aurich from San Diego State to strengthen a front seven that struggled late last season, with linebacker Owen Chambliss and corner Andrew Marshall expected to be key contributors.
- Ohio enters the season under new head coach John Hauser after a turbulent coaching transition, facing significant roster turnover including the loss of star QB Parker Navarro and several key offensive and defensive players.
- Despite these challenges, Ohio returns several defensive standouts such as safety DJ Walker and linebacker Charlie Christopher, and adds transfers like Eli Thompson to bolster its secondary.
- Nebraska is heavily favored to win their first-ever meeting against Ohio, with odds at -23.5, and is expected to start the 2026 season strong against a rebuilding Bobcats team.
