I wish he would step into his throws. Doesn't seem to have much zip on the passes
Seems like that could possibly be a receiver issue that needs to be worked on.
The 44% vs man may have to do with the multiple deep shots that have hit the receiver but they don’t pull it in.
Do pass interference calls count as incompletions? If so that has to play a large part too because there’s been a ton.

The Rutgers game really chewed into his stats as well.
and to keep from getting completed passes turned into INTS🤣
A stat that is scary for our defense is that Indiana ranks first in the country in RPO offense. Nebraska ranks 92nd in defending the RPO. Hopefully, we improved our defense of the RPO during the bye week.
It’s also their entire offense so it may be somewhat predictable too.
Where do you find a stat like that? Have we played anyone except Illinois that runs any RPO?
I saw it mentioned in a video previewing the game. Nebraska’s defense against the RPO is also mentioned in the article Linked below.
Nebraska’s first half of 2024 defensive tendencies
We have below average wideouts. Hopefully teams don't figure this out and go exclusively man from here on out.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Indiana worked on that during their bye week.
Was gonna make the same point/question. Are PIs factored into these QB ratings? Nevertheless, beating man coverage comes down to 3 main things, 2 of which Riaola has little control over…
1. Identifying who has single coverage or your “hot route(s)” at the line of scrimmage.
2. WR beating his man and/or taking the ball away in tight single coverage.
3. O-line providing time to push the ball downfield with accuracy.
As a team we need to figure out how to be better when teams try and lock us up in man coverage. Dylan is a big part of that equation, but WRs and OL have to do their job as well.
That would be the whole idea of an RPO. Linemen run block, WR runs a route, the QB decides whether to hand off or pass. They are designed to look the same .
UTEP and Colorado run a lot of RPO (especially UTEP) and we shut them down. IDK anything about his stats, I assume they’re accurate, but they may not tell the whole story? 🤷♂️
