Raiola has not played a P4 defense as bad as UCLA's.

Like @SantaBarbaraSker has been saying, I'm happy for TJ and hope he does the same against Penn St and Cockeye, but the UCLA game wasn't some grand turning point for the offense or the team or the program. We beat a really bad team by 7.

I'll put this out there for Dylan staying/leaving. I don't care if you potato heads really care or not.

In short, what I'm saying is there is a lot more to him, "his brand" than just football. He has God first, family second, brothers third, football fourth. And he uses his football talents and brand to advance the kingdom. He has established and continues establishing it here in Lincoln and I believe that isn't something he'll walk away from.

I've talked to Dylan a couple times at church and on our sideline at a high school game. He attends my church and lives a block and half away from me. I've talked to a lot of people who interact with him and they all say the same thing about him. He believes his legacy is much bigger than himself and he's creating a brand to move that forward. I don't have a big personal connection to him, but we cross paths a lot. He attends a lot of the same things I do.

He's really strong in his faith and he prays about everything he does and listens to what God is telling him. He started and leads a bible study on the team which originally was 5-6 guys, and now expanded into other sports. Grew so much they had to split it off into smaller groups. They're really accountable to one another. The size of the post game prayer is a testament to how much he has helped grow faith within the football team. The brotherhood that he has helped lead out on has changed the lives of a lot of the team. Speaking with Ron Brown, he said this team is probably his most faith based driven team he's been around.

He started an annual Revival Night with our Church and has plans for several other events partnered with our Church over the next few years. Yes, he does have a superstar status in Lincoln, but it's a different type of status, he's looking to use his position in football to build the Kingdom of God and bring the younger generation to follow Jesus. The event was a few weeks ago and he brought up 10 other guys to share their testimonies. He's helping change people's lives through Jesus. He's not the typical college aged kid and I truly believe he's called to do that right here in Lincoln.

Agree here but at the same time you can’t say that our wins against MSU, Maryland and NW were impressive either. All three are not very good teams at all and wins that we barely squeeked out.

It is a bit crazy. I know he's not a perfect QB, but he's a damn good one and led us on multiple game winning drives this year (how long has it been since we've been able to do that????). He's only worked hard and made himself better the whole time he's been here. He seems to be a great teammate and loves Nebraska.

I hope Lateef is great, but the best thing you can say is that although we don't have enough data, he did pretty well against one of the worst defenses we've played this year.

I just don't get how so many in the fan base are absolute ass towards him

Very true, but those teams are all better than UCLA on defense. Michigan State was very much impacted by the elements as well. I think the only reasonable take on the QB situation is that we have to wait and see how these next two games go.

We've seen that TJ can be effective against bad teams. Now, let's see how effective he can be against good defenses.

And if Dylan was committed there 1st, who do we think their number 1 choice was?

His leading WRs that were Jahmal Banks, Emmett Johnson, Jacory Barney, and Thomas Fidone.
Arguably better than what Lateef had vs ucla since Fidone made an nfl roster

Sayin only went to Ohio state because Raiola left.
They were in the same class

Sayin enrolled at Bama after Dylan has already committed here. And was committed to bama the entire time Dylan was committed to UGA. Sayin and Dylan has no impact on each other

Funny since your boy played maybe the worst defense of them all but yet you crown him already, can't have it both ways
