No. Pelini beat Arizona and Georgia, off the top of my head. Maybe others but I don't remember them.

Not too hard to look up. Since Jamal Lord's last game in a bowl win against Michigan State (Bo Peliini interim coach), Bill Callahan had an Alamo Bowl win, Bo Pelini won two Gator Bowls and a Holiday Bowl, and Mike Riley had a Foster Farms Bowl win against UCLA. 

 
Dylan is very smooth in the pocket for sure.  Moves within that to buy time instead of scrambling.  Throws the ball with what appears to be little to know effort.  Really wild to see at NU.  Haven't seen this poise in a long long time.  Question for those who have followed him prior to NU, is he capable of executing designed runs or some goal line runs?  Saw one designed run IIRC against UTEP, but not much since.

His highschool highlights didn't show many runs and his rushing numbers say he never ran much at all, but you saw him take off last week on the designed run for a 1st down. He's obviously not a true dual threat, but like his role model down I-29 he can scoot when needed. Honestly if he dropped 5 or 10 lbs he might need to be taken seriously as a running threat, but that's probably not really his style, and a guy with his arm talent doesn't need to be running unless it's to clench a game.
