Just about everything went wrong for Nebraska football in its 27-20 loss to UCLA on Saturday. Adding insult to injury was, well, an actual injury to the Huskers’ star freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola.
Raiola suffered an injury to his back in the final minutes of the game on a second-down scramble that put Nebraska at the 2-yard line when trailing by two scores.
Nebraska coach Matt Rhule provided an injury update to his starting quarterback during his Monday press conference to kick off the Huskers’ second-and-final bye week of the season stating that Raiola should be fine to play in the upcoming game against USC.
This injury update is crucial for the team, especially considering Raiola’s impact as a key player. Nebraska fans will be relieved to know that he won’t miss any significant playing time due to the back injury. Let’s hope he recovers fully and continues to contribute to the Cornhuskers’ success on the field!
