  • No

What if TJ balls out in the last 3 games and we go 3-0 because he played very well.

Would you take 3-0 from TJ if it meant someone buys him in the portal and makes them their starting QB for 2026?

Hypothetical exercise
If he balls out and we go 3-0, I'm very confident in saying this fanbase will want him over Raiola and many will want Raiola to leave.
 

Yeah I’d take it. I think Trae is our starting QB in 2027 either way honestly. If Dylan doesn’t have the stock to go pro after next season, he will portal. This is just my opinion.

If he balls out and we go 3-0, I'm very confident in saying this fanbase will want him over Raiola and many will want Raiola to leave.

It’s a fun exercise and there’s a world where it happens. Other places have it happen! But I’m not like banking on it.

I do believe the Huskers should get this one on Saturday. After that, all bets are off from me.

If we miss our overs on 7.5 wins, the ones we’re going to want back are USC and Minnesota. Minnesota sucks and people are doing to them what we should have.

I still think we have a decent shot against PSU, especially if we show well against UCLA. Cockeye will be tough sledding either way.

There are examples of the backup truly being better (Ganz while here, JT Barrett at OSU after Cardale won the job) but I'm sure it's the exception to the rule. I would welcome the scenario because finishing 3-0 would be huge.

The Minnesota game is such a black eye for this staff. They are not a good team. No one showed up for us that game (coaches and players alike).
 
I've seen this poll on three different boards now. (Did not see in on 247)
All three polls answered overwhelmingly "no."
Here is a comparison as to how many respondants said no:

The Platiumn Board: 96.2% (130 votes)
On3 Red Sea Scrolls: 92.4% (422)
Rivals InsideNebraska: 81.7% (60)
But it's weird....Dylan didn't get over 200 total yards in 4 of his last 5 games. Yet EVERYONE thinks Lateef is going over 200 total yards..and easily.

The math is not mathing.

I agree. PSU is playing a backup QB too.

We finish 9-3 and this place will have real juice. We will find another replacement for Lateef.

None of the three remaining teams on the schedule are as good as USC or Michigan. And while Penn State still has talent, I'm absolutely convinced half their roster is going to start sitting out the rest of the season after they lose their next two games and are sitting at 3-7.
 
I voted No. Mainly due to experience. TJ could be the next coming of CJ Stroud. Or he could be Chubba Purdy. We’ll know after 3 games of full prep in the BIG

I think he throws for 150, Runs for 60-70. Dylan was throwing for 185 and losing 50 rushing and if we don't count sacks, DR was rushing for maybe 15 yards a game..
 
New starter > "This guy is going to be really good" > "Coaches need to learn how to call plays to his strengths." > "This guy sucks. The backup shows a lot of promise." > New Starter.

This is a never ending loop which we have just restarted. Question is, how many quarters before fans start calling for Gramstad. I predict 5.
It won't take that long.
 
If he finishes 3-0 and plays very well you push out Raiola and reallocate his nil

I wouldn’t do that. There’s no pressure on TJ at all in the last 3 games. If he loses he was suppose to and if he doesn’t he’s the man. If you add the pressure it does start to become a different ball game
