Dylan Raiola

Your sentence remains confusing here. Put another way TJ looked good against Houston Christian, Akron, & UCLA. He looked bad, bad against Penn State, USC, & Iowa.

Dylan looked good against most teams he faced, though he did not take over games. @Hilltop's post above lays it out pretty well.

Dylan was 10/15 for 91 yards against USC and exited the game while leading 14-6. TJ went 5 for 7 for seven yards with six rushing attempts for 18 yards. You can nitpick stats, but TJ did not look that impressive this year when facing defenses in the top 100.

Yes, I know what you said, but trying to compare stats of a true freshman coming into the USC game against a seasoned sophomore with 20 plus starts under his belt is a bit tilted. THEN suggesting that he didn't look "impressive" in the next 2 games against arguably the best D's we faced all year is CRAZY in my opinion....

Ok then, take away the stats, watch them play. There was a clear step down from Dylan to TJ for QB play. Our hope is that TJ was injured and that healing will allow him to be more mobile and effective as a dual threat. My view is that TJ is currently a less mobile QB, but slightly stronger arm than Adrian Martinez. We will need to recruit a transfer (or two) that will be a serious contender to start day one next year.

Lack of development of the d-line was a reason Raiola wasn't as good as we hoped for?

Defense plays a part in the fact that your squarely not trying to make one player carry the team to win. This year our sack leader was William Nwaneri with 2. Nobody was getting to the qb which didn't help the offense out.

Oh God. That's right. One more year of Ganz or one year sooner for Taylor Martinez and that 2009 team is legitimate Top 5.

I've said that many times - good chance of a NC with that D. I wonder what that would have done for Bo's future here? Instead it was the first of 6 Saban's NCs at Bama.

Yes, there will be a noticeable difference from a QB that has played 20+ games with the 1's and a red shirt freshman coming in mid game... And you truly must be trolling to suggest Dylan is a more mobile QB... :ROFLMAO:

You obviously are struggling to read sentences in full.

Neither TJ nor Dylan were redshirted, neither were intended to be from what I understood. Go back and watch the game film. Dylan is a far superior QB and has been since he got here in the Spring of 2024.

Bad bad?

TJ didn't have much chance against USC and had a couple promising scrambles prior to an uncharacteristic stumble by Emmett Johnson that would have given him another set of downs. He did not look bad against Penn State in his second start against a much better team. Pretty good decision making, some genuinely nice throws, and no turnovers but the big early deficit put the offense in catch-up mode. Iowa was the kind of team-wide clusterfunk that every Nebraska QB has suffered through. Late in the game Lateef missed several open receivers that Raiola probably would have hit, but it's a stretch to think a healthy Dylan changes the outcome, or that a stout Husker defense wouldn't have helped Lateef and the rest of the offense play a better scheme.
