Nebraska football quarterback Anthony Colandrea was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon.

Colandrea had a tremendous performance against Bowling Green. He went 20-of-24 on the evening, for 222 yards and four touchdowns. His performance was a big reason the Huskers took control early and never relented.

The signal-caller has had a tremendous start to the season. He has thrown for 497 yards, seven touchdowns, and an interception this season. He has led the offense and helped the Huskers take control of games almost immediately.

Big Ten play will be a better barometer regarding how this offense looks moving forward. That said, there is little doubt this offense is explosive and functioning at a high level. It all starts

with Colandrea, and he has been getting the job done at a high level.
