Here's everything Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien – who has spent time coaching the legendary Tom Brady, Heisman winner Bryce Young and several other top-tier QBs – said about QB Dylan Raiola and the Huskers after Nebraska's 20-15 Pinstripe Bowl win:

B1G 2024 Penalties per team

The link is to a Google Sheet I put together showing B1G play for all of 2024.
When the team in column A played a team in row 2, the team in row 2 had 'X' penalties that game. Sums are at the bottom and far right.

1) Iowa was the most disciplined (or favored by refs) team with 26 penalties for 257 yards.
2) UCLA was the least disciplined (or disfavored by refs) with 75 penalties for 617 yards.
3) Ohio St's opponents were called for the fewest penalties when playing them with 27 for 231. Were the refs gunning for Ohio St. to lose and trying to help their opponents?
4) Maryland's opponents were called for the most penalties when playing them with 62 for 562. Were the refs trying to help Maryland?

What I'm really saying is that I hear a lot of "THE BIG 10 REFS ARE HORRIBLE! THEY ARE SCREWING US OVER...", but the data is what it is. UCLA, Maryland, Nebraska and Wisconsin were the least disciplined teams during conference play based on the stats. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State were the most disciplined teams.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this.

It also is being reported that a very productive running back from Alabama is reportedly transferring

How many teams make the College Football Playoffs compared to other sports?

Football - 12 of 134 teams - 8.95%
Football (FCS) - 24 out of 129 teams - 18.60%
Football (NFL) - 14 out 32 teams - 43.75%
Men's Basketball - 68 out of 352 teams - 19.32%
Men's Baseball - 64 out of 300 teams - 21.33%
Women's Basketball - 68 out of 360 teams - 18.89%
Women's Volleyball - 64 out of 346 teams - 18.50%
Women's Softball - 64 out of 286 teams - 22.38%

Men's college football has the least amount of playoff teams of all the major sports. People would think of the playoffs completely different if bowl games didn't exist.

Is he going somewhere else? Have not heard anything in a few days so I assume Nebraska lost out on another top portal OL.

They are constantly shown on TV by each others side. It’s very obvious that they have a special relationship. You can tell he has taken on a father figure role and it’s very heart-warming to see. One of the many reasons he is one of the best all time. GBR!!

Why?

Just announced on his social media accounts: Jimari Butler is transferring to LSU.

Big game tonight to start the home conference slate.
Indiana is 8-2 with losses to Louisville and Gonzaga.

If Nebraska was in the ACC or Big12 I believe they would have won the championship or at least been in the top 3 of the conference. It's like the BIG and SEC are class A and the ACC and Big12 are class B.

First 100-yard game as a pro. Go Raiders!!!!

According to multiple reports, Nebraska is trying to hire Phil Simpson to coach the outside linebackers/edge rushers.

Simpson was a defensive quality control coach at Nebraska in 2023 and was a big part of the Huskers' recruiting efforts to land the Miami guys in the 2024 class. He left the program early this year and spent the 2024 season at Florida State.


Edit at 7:46 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9: Simpson confirmed the report himself. He’s officially back:
