Loses QB battle to Colandrea
Lateef has lost out in Nebraska's quarterback battle to Anthony Colandrea, per On3.
ANALYSIS
Lateef was never favored in this quarterback battle; this has been the expected outcome all along in Lincoln. The returner was battling Anthony Colandrea for the starting job, but the latter's experience and production both at a previous Power Four stop and last season at UNLV ultimately pushed him over the top. Lateef is positioned as the Huskers' backup quarterback this fall.
