The freshman struggled again before he left the game with an injury.
Nebraska’s true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola continued to look like a struggling young player in the Huskers’ loss to UCLA on Saturday.
The longest completion of the day by Raiola came on a deep throw to Jacory Barney Jr. for 40 yards. It was the kind of throw that reminded everyone of the immense talent Raiola possesses and his ability to make any throw on the football field. That drive culminated in a rushing touchdown by Dante Dowdell to give the Huskers a 10-7 deficit to manage.
However, Raiola bounced back later with two great throws. He hooked up with Barney again for 27 yards and then, two plays later, found Isaiah Neyor for his only touchdown pass of the day on a beautiful fade route. That score cut the deficit to 27–14. Raiola’s day was done after he took a hard hit to his back on a second and goal when he tried to scramble into the end zone. He did not play another snap, and the Huskers could not complete the comeback without him.
