Guys we've gotta remember Raiola is a true freshman. He's not gonna make every single throw and will make freshman mistakes. That said, he still played a heckuva game. Had some tough calls go against him as well.

Absolutely!  Big moments like this are made for 5*’s. It’s step by step. I’m pretty proud actually.

I’m with you until ‘heckuva game’. Not gonna crucify him, but not sure how 152 yds and a pick fits the definition. 

 
Come on, get rid of the cool aid colored glasses.  Raiola missed several wide open receivers it was not even funny.  Missed on several throws.  No matter your age and pedigree, you have to make those throws.  We do have a suspect line and WR's.  This team has major flaws yet, and the QB position is still one of them.  Dual threat QB today and I think we win this game, and win by two scores.  This style of football is to easy to defend.  Its 10 vs 11 with a QB who really can't run the ball.  If a defense has to prepare for a running QB, it makes things so much more complicated.  But Dylan missed an opportunity today that a lot of gamers wouldn't have.  Sometimes despite everything else you lead your team to a win.  Don't see that mentality from this QB and wonder if its there since he couldn't stay at one HS team more than one season.  Don't know if the ownership is there.

You realize we played the #4 team in the country, whose only loss is to the #1 team in the country by one point, and we had a chance to beat them, at home, at the end of the game.

Right?

The refs have been truly awful. Just saw a big blown call in the Illinois/Oregon game where there was a clear fumble and immediate recovery by Oregon, but Illinois kept the ball.

It's a conference-wide issue. They need to hire full-time, permanent refs. The Big Ten & SEC both generate enough revenue to make this happen. These guys are part-timers and they're failing the sport. It's too bad.

 
I still think Dylan has been dealing with a minor injury the past few games, perhaps got injured on the last play of the Illinois game. That said, he still had some nice throws today. The one that was negated and called incomplete was a beautiful pass. 

As for Satterfield, if we lose to UCLA next week due to his crappy play calls, gotta think he'll be gone. Unfortunately that may be what it takes.

The NFL doesn't employ full time refs either.  It's mind boggling, but apparently they're doing it on purpose.
