Nebraska and true freshman quarterback Dylan Railoa came very close to pulling off a massive upset against No. 4 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon, but the game is taking a backseat given the antics by Buckeyes fans at The Horseshoe.
Buckeyes linebacker Arvell Reese was penalized for targeting after making contact to the head of Nebraska receiver Jahmal Banks as the Cornhuskers were driving down 21-17 in the fourth quarter. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was visibly upset with the call and threw down his headset when protesting to officials.
Buckeyes fans seemingly agreed with Day’s sentiments and responded by throwing bottles onto the field at Ohio Stadium. Huskers players were ushered away from the sideline in order to get out of reach of flying objects.
According to Raiola, the behavior «disrespects football and the nature of it.»
“The bottles being thrown is just, I don’t know, it kind of feels like it disrespects football and the nature of it,” he said in a postgame press conference. “It happened and we had to get away from it, but nah, it was loud. It was a cool environment. But we knew that coming in.”
