Donovan Raiola was on HRN last night. I whipped up a transcript of all the most notable things he said– including his philosophy on playing more than five OL, the Huskers having a set rotation going into game day and his thoughts on each of the five starters + Teddy P, Justin Evans-Jenkins and the freshmen.
Also tallied the season snap counts for the OL and a couple numbers that show progress and the much-needed improvement in pass pro.
Oh, and when he was asked which of the freshmen DL have caught his eye as the OL coach, he rattled off a few names but he paused and his eyes widened when talking about Riley Van Poppel. Greg Sharpe noted it during the interview, but it sounds like RVP could be on a similar trajectory to Nash Hutmacher.
