Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola shined in his first rivalry game, keeping the Raiola family undefeated against Colorado as players. After the game, Raiola hit the signature celebration of opposing quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers took on the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday night in a primetime game as the 6:30 p.m. CDT kickoff concluded later in the night. Nebraska stood tall in Lincoln after a great start to the game and a great defensive showcase.
Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola shined. In a showdown with potential first-round draft pick Shedeur Sanders, Raiola came on top, completing 23-of-30 passes for 185 yards. Raiola also had a touchdown pass to Rahmir Johnson, not throwing an interception in the process. Sanders was 23-of-38 passing for 244 yards, throwing a late touchdown but also telegraphing a pick six to Husker defensive back Tommi Hill.
After the game, Raiola, along with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan from «Bussin’ With The Boys’, posed for a picture while doing the signature celebration of Sanders: flashing a watch.
In case you didn’t know, Sanders’ go-to celebration was flashing his Rolex watch to players and fans of the opposing team. He even released his own song titled “Perfect Timing”, which is a reference to his watch.
In the only meeting between the pair as collegiate quarterbacks, Raiola got the win on and off the field.
