Raiola played well. The advanced statistics back it up in addition to the eyeball test.

This is how I felt. Not about Raiola but whole team.

swap him with Jeudy and we win by 30 last night

He must love Cincy because I assume some big time programs wanted him.

Never said he is trash. Said he needs to throw the damn ball because he can sling it. He typically just follows his first read and then checks down yet there are guys open in their routes.

You didn't watch the game if you think he reads his first and goes straight to check down. When he had time, he was going through everyone. I can remember one play in the red zone that he went to a couple reads twice actually but everyone was well covered. May have been the incompletion to Haarberg if I'm remembering right.

You're just being blindly negative for frankly stupid reasons. Dylan was excellent last night and was far from any problem we expect to see this year.

I’m disappointed the season is over already

The defense they were facing severely limited down field passing. Raiola played about as perfect as a QB could given what he was presented with.

If that was "about as perfect as a QB could" play, then we are in trouble as that only got us 20 points against Cincinnati.

I think there is a lot more room for QB improvement. I agree with the OP, Raiola played well. Not great, not close to perfect, just well.

Super thankful you are not the OC. We would be beyond fucked with a drunk retard such as yourself coaching the offense.

We already tried that experiment with Scotch Fraud

surely everyone can agree Nebraska can’t play it safe every game and expect to win more than7 games.
Cincinnatis D has 1 good player and overall is mediocre.
Their entire game plan was to give Nebraska everything they wanted on short passes and get quick tackles.
They assumed Nebraska can’t consistently have 10, 15, 20 play drives to score and they were correct.

Cincinnatis biggest fault was Nebraska appearing to have a competent special teams.

What do you propose Nebraska should have done then? Throw into deep set conservative zone coverage and accept the interceptions that come with that?

A few things to add to a FANTASTIC thread:

1. We need a “sling it” GIF reaction for @Snockered69 - let’s work on that

2. Dylan is really fucking good - game 1 of year 2 probably isn’t when you go against all conventional wisdom when a defense is only giving you short attempts…if you’re saying “just huck it anyways” you’re an idiot

3. I have decided that @biscuitgaze01 is Matt Stafford’s burner. Good to have you on the board, Godfather

4. It’s good to have post-game fighting on the board back…it’s even better after a W
