Fresh off a hard-fought 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats, the Nebraska football team aims to carry that momentum into this weekend’s matchup against the visiting Akron Zips. Ahead of their Week 2 game, quarterback Dylan Raiola spoke with the media about the atmosphere at Memorial Stadium, the home of the Cornhuskers. Team beat reporter Clayton Collier shared Raiola’s insights on the stadium and its impact on potential recruits via X, formerly known as Twitter.
“The whole experience of a gameday here is second-to-none in college football,” Raiola told Collier and the press Tuesday. “There’s no reason why the top recruits and top players in the country shouldn’t want to come play at a place like this.”
If Nebraska can continue improving under head coach Matt Rhule in his third season, a run at the Big Ten title could be within reach. Raiola experienced an up-and-down freshman year, but his talent is undeniable. In the season-opening victory, he threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns, completing 33 of 42 attempts. With the Akron game on the horizon, the question remains: can Rhule and offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen expect even more from Raiola on Saturday?
