Press release via Nebraska Athletics Communications:

Nebraska’s Dylan Raiola made the most of his first career start, as he was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday afternoon.

Raiola, the second Husker true freshman to start a season opener since WWII, completed 19-of-27 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in Nebraska’s 40-7 win over UTEP on Saturday. Raiola guided the Huskers to touchdowns on five of his eight series against the Miners, and he played just one drive in the second half. Raiola threw both of his touchdown passes in the second quarter – a 59-yard strike to Isaiah Neyor and a 21-yard pass to Jahmal Banks with just two seconds left in the half. Nebraska’s 23 second-quarter points was its highest total since 2018. In all, he threw for 192 yards in the first half. As a team, the Huskers threw for 284 yards, their highest single-game total since 2022.

Raiola is the first Husker to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Week since Malcolm Hartzog Jr. in 2022 and the first NU offensive player to garner the freshman honor since Wan'dale Robinson in 2019.

The Huskers are back in action this Saturday night, as they host the Colorado Buffaloes. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. and the game will be carried nationally on NBC and the Husker Radio Network.

Here's the release from the Big Ten:

Ninth-Year Tight End Cam McCormick Scores First Miami Touchdown of 2024 Season

College football careers are starting to dwarf NFL career length. I guess I'm just surprised that a ninth year player actually contributed.

Cue the Tommy Boy references.

has there been an injury report ?

Or did the players look bigger, stronger and more like real football players than we have seen ina long time. Is this a reflection of buy in where the players are actually busting ass in S/C and its not hype anymore?

Rhule will be available to the media today. Expectation is he shows up at around 1:55 p.m.

We reported last week Cortez Mills was considering a Nebraska visit this fall and we can now confirm, credit to Rivals' John Garcia, that the four-star Oklahoma WR commit will be in town on Saturday for the Colorado game. Big opportunity for Nebraska to showcase the offense and game day environment in Memorial Stadium.

Curious to see how Oklahoma navigates this, as they have a strict no-visit policy and while Mills is the type of prospect you make an exception for, that staff doesn't really make exceptions for many people. Something worth keeping an eye on.

The 1995 Huskers only allowed 12 Punt Return Yards ALL SEASON.

How on earth was that possisble @Front Runner ?!

Our rushing from yesterday didn’t require a mobile qb. Our offense operated with a pro scheme and it worked.

NCAA, Power 5, Agree to universities paying players

Yuge for Nebraska in all the shifting. One of few programs that are actually doing well financially. B1G money. Boosters can go back to focusing on facility upgrades ($). Premium recruiting.

Great time to be turning around the program. C'mon Rhule, you can lead them there!

Supposedly the Rams have hired him as an analyst. I wonder if that counts towards the yearly payments still owed him. He probably worded his new deal such that it doesn’t count.😀

For me it was Dowdell. Looked way faster and shifter than he did in the spring game.

I can see why the roster had all the "ORs" in the RB room. I think we can win with any of those guys.

Just asking. Will the grades by player be posted as in years past? I'd like to see how each player graded out.

Every once in a while I feel confident on a football game and instead of placing a $550 bet I bet 11 ($50 parleys ) and put that team in all of them. Essentially turning 3 team parleys into 2 teams and 4;team parleys into 3. I did that this weekend with Nebraska. Going into last nights USC game I was up $600 with USC still open in a 4 teamer. My dilemma was hope to win $500 and be at either 1100 or not cover and be up 600 in a loss. Or hedge my bet with a $220 bet on LSU guaranteeing myself roughly 800 or 900 in a loss or win.

I choose to bet the 220 on LSU. Didn’t work out as USC won and I only got 900 instead of the full $1100. Still think it was a good call.

On pace for 400 yards and 4 TD's in his first game. And he just looks like a dude.

on Subprimes, fake drugstore cowboy hat.

I will give 1G to whoever can snag his hat and lay it at my feet when I attend the Illinois game in three weeks… I will even pay any associated bail, and/or attorneys fees were there to be such repercussions. I will need video confirmation…either network tv footage, or have buddy video you snagging it in the team hotel lobby, local restaurant, or wherever.

Dude, looks like such a wannabe, tool in that thing… bonus, if you stomp on his bad foot in the process.
