Shedeur Sanders, Colorado a great measuring stick for Nebraska's Dylan Raiola

Dylan Raiola and Shedeur Sanders lock horns Saturday in what is arguably the most anticipated QB battle of the young season. Here's what to expect.

During an interview session with local media earlier this week, Nebraska linebacker Mikai Gbayor answered a series of questions about the challenge his unit will face when the Cornhuskers welcome Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to Memorial Stadium for a highly anticipated rivalry game on Saturday night. Gbayor, whose five tackles in a Week 1 win over UTEP were tied for the team high, handled the line of questioning fairly diplomatically.

When Raiola led Nebraska onto the field against UTEP, he did so as just the second true freshman starting quarterback in school history after Adrian Martinez blazed that path in 2018. And with all due respect to Martinez, who eventually transferred to Kansas State, the expectations surrounding Raiola are far higher.
