Dylan Raiola

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 south on 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.

I think the best bet is to not try to run him at all.  Maybe tell him to take off on a 3rd and long or whenever you notice a defense not paying attention.  I wouldn’t design runs for him.  He's the best passing QB they have.  Dont put him in harms way

Hey Knapp -FIRST: GREAT POST.  2ND:  a thought here:  Can you repost this to a new thread just titled Dylan Raiola or similar.  I got a feeling over the next 3 years and maybe 4 (if he doesn't go early to NFL) we will have a lot of DR highlights and awards.  Perhaps it is time to get beyond the DR signs with Nebraska thread and look forward instead of backward.  He is here and he is doing what we hoped he would do. 

 
Rhule talked about it in his presser today, but he pretty much said everyone on the offense needs to get better to match the level of Dylan. Whether that is getting into your playbook so that the offense has more options if the opponent does something you didn't gameplan against, or just upping your craft so that you can catch some of these balls that Dylan has been throwing (Lloyd's motion wheel). Murray (the guy in the video above) points out on a play that Banks needs to get on his wheels on a play because the balls going to come out on time whether you're in the correct spot or not.

Maybe McGuire needs to get on the WRs butts a little more so that they're giving top effort every play.

Was 18/18 on passes under 10 yards.

Colorado blitzed 17 times on his 32 dropbacks.  He was pressured 11 times.

Isn't that incredible ?!   17  f#&%ing blitzes !!!!!  And people be complaining that he didn't throw down field enough. 

I thought he played amazing.

It was his 2nd college game.  He followed the game plan perfectly and played it safely.  Dump it down or throw out of bounds.  We will take some shots.  We won't turn it over.  We will live for another down.

Dylan didn't fumble in the pocket or fumble snaps.  He didn't chuck it and throw interceptions because "internet Bob" wants big plays because he's drunk. 

Most teams want Nebraska to turn the ball over.  They actually expect it.  Alsways help them to win and us Lose.  Look at past 20 years of losing games....  fumbles, interceptions, sacks, huking and chuking with desperation.  

Dylan said NOPE.  I got this.  And then He simply beat Colorado by 18 points.  And moved on to the next opponent.

Like I said, he played great !!!  And I am so happy to see it.  

PS.  Maybe by the time we play USC, some of the downfield shots will connect more easily.

Not complaining. I think he’s playing awesome in just two games in college. Just stating what I think he (and the rest of the offense) could work on this week against a weaker opponent.
