Raiola ended up playing most of the game yesterday against USC as the Oregon’S starting QB got hit hard and was taken to the hospital. Raiola finished 19 for 25 and 289 yards and the win over USC
I noticed the same thing. As soon as I heard that Moore was injured, I knew that Raiola would be coming in during a high pressure game. He performed admirably.
Initially I thought Nebraska would now face Raiola in several weeks but all the reports on Moore have come back good. Sounds like he just has a concussion and is in concussion protocol, so it very well could be Moore back to face Nebraska.
It appears that Raiola transferring from NU worked out well for both parties.

So, we moved up from 42 to 38 i think. May not be ranked even after Maryland. Though, youd think they give us a token #25 ranking for the Indiana Game.
On Moore, I was surprised Kyler Murray had a similar injury, and he was back after one week. Whether thats good or bad for us? Dunno.
Maryland I'm not worried about. Indiana on the other hand, that's one to be worried about. They're the defending national champions after all. And they're very good under Curt Cignetti.
Interesting fact: the only voter this year on the AP Polls who is local or has Husker ties is Andy Kendeigh. He does not show a vote for the Huskers yet.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
Good read on this SI story by Dave Fiet, why it is highly unlikely there is anything to the mention that Troy Dannen would be a candidate for the Iowa State AD opening, even though it is about an hour from his "home"
It took a while to figure out how I felt about that game. 48-23, but it didnt really feel like it. They poured it on in the 4th. Just weird it was 28-23 for forever. My cautiousness pretends the game was really 28-23. Can we always count on a fourth quarter frenzy?
In all, I *guess* this game, I think confirmed that the Huskers can play a close game. It makes me want to say next week will be a similar game up to the fourth.
Next week is Indiana, the defending national champions. Nebraska can’t afford to play as sloppy as they did in the first half nor have so many penalties against them. Otherwise, they’re going down like a wet paper airplane.
Things in the first half have been happening too frequently over the last few years. What is different this year is the team doesn't quit and let the defeat happen, and in fact the team makes adjustments and works through it.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
Im glad it isnt at night, takes some pressure off..
Bugeater, that sums it up. Years past, that game would have been anybodys til the end.
So the boys are #31 going into this game. Indiana is #7. This has all the fixings of a trap game for Indiana, in that their matchup after Nebraska Is Ohio State. I hope we catch em sleeping. Its the biggest opportunity since, you guessed it, 2016.
Ill be happy if they keep it close, but i genuinely believe they'll give em a run for their money.
