Pretty bold statement by a freshman QB whose performance has been trending downward, on a team that hasn't beaten Wiscy in what a decade and hasn't been to a bowl game in almost the same amount of time. I wonder if this will be posted in the Wisconsin locker room :dunno
No need to wonder - it is a certainty. DR better come out with the game of his life.

"We’ll get the win next week and get us to a bowl,” Raiola said about this weekend's game.
Raiola's statement stemmed from his comments on the new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and getting used to his offensive scheme and tendencies.
“I spent all bye week with Dana Holgorsen and then obviously the game week. It’s important knowing what he’s gonna call and what he likes here and why he’s calling it so we can execute at the best of our ability. But we’re only gonna keep building on it these next two weeks," Raiola also added.
Nebraska is currently 5-5 and in the midst of a four-game losing streak that has seen the discourse grow around their inability to achieve a sixth win and get to a bowl game.
The Cornhuskers' last bowl game was nearly a decade ago in 2016 when they made it to the Music City Bowl with a record of 9-4.
Since then, Nebraska has failed to hit six wins with two seasons ending in 5-7 records and the rest with four or fewer wins.
