Built for the Big Ten Stage: What Nebraska Expects from Quarterback Dylan Raiola in Year Two

God, SI's AI article slop is obnoxious.


Raiola completed more than 67% of his passes (275-of-410) last season in 13 games. No freshman in Nebraska history has matched Raiola’s combination of volume and efficiency, leading all first-year quarterbacks in both passing yards and completion rate.

This isn't really true except in a narrow technical sense.

"50 Rushing Attempts - -65 yards"

Oh yikes, I guess I don't remember DR's rushing being quite that bad. We shouldn't need many rushing yards from DR to be successful on offense but it would be sweet if we could turn that into a positive number.

How quickly people forget that AM was great as a freshmen and was a heisman watchlist guy going into this sophomore season.

T-mart is also forgotten by a lot of Husker fans and then you look at his stats and realize he had amazing numbers.

Hell no not forgotten… T Magic that is…
Anytime I want to smile I just put on either the 2010 K State or Washington game and I get a big smile on my face

There's an interesting phenomenon I've noticed with the online fanbase sentiment regarding our modern era long career quarterbacks that goes something along the lines of

Freshman season - incredible! The sky is the limit, he's so good, might even have a chance at the Heisman

Sophomore-Senior seasons - a slide from adoration into grumbling criticism, calls that he's overrated and should get benched, doesn't have what it takes

A few years after they're gone - he was so good, one of my favorite players ever

This largely applies in the same way to Taylor, Armstrong and Adrian, but Adrian's hindsight nostalgia hasn't peaked yet

AMart had an amazing true freshman season. Unfortunately he decided to get worse and thought ball security was optional at the end of games.
