Gee Donovan, our guys sure did not look soft out there tossing some Trojans around as EJ racked up the yardage and scored in the red zone!
Again, thank you, Donovan Raiola.

Who said all the blame?Putting ALL the blame on Donovan is either gaslighting or ignorance.
I think he just has a bunch of bad habits from his freshman year. He didn't get a season to work on fundamentals and he lost his OC halfway through his first season. Play-calling and scheme dictates pocket depth, timing, routes, even arm angle and he had to change less than a year ago. Now they won't even let him step into a throw in a clean pocket because if we risk a long-developing play we gets hit, hurt, fumbles, and we lose the game. We had one long developing play last night, we had all of the momentum, a chance to go up 21-6 and he held onto the ball too long, took a sack and got hurt. A lot of the sacks are due to scheme and play-calling...getting into 3rd and long. Last night I don't think we had a single sack because they schemed away from it, ran the ball on 3rd and long and ran quick read routes, fades, and back shoulder throws. A well called game, should have won...need a better kicker to play a ball-control style of game tho. But for a true sophomore he has great poise and makes good decisions most of the time. Lateef could barely field a snap, and that shows how spoiled we've been to have Dylan, who is really good for his age.It may be possible. But, frankly, I don’t see any road graters on run plays outside of maybe Rocco. Do you?
As for a pocket QB, I’m not sure how else you’d describe Raiola! I was impressed the first couple of games how much better he was climbing up in the pocket under pressure. But our OL’s pass pro is so bad that I’m afraid he’s been conditioned to just bail out under pressure. Which, of course, is not one of his strengths.
I think TJ is handling snaps well this game.Lateef could barely field a snap, and that shows how spoiled we've been to have Dylan, who is really good for his age.
Lucky to have him. Hope he stays healthy and a husker.I think TJ is handling snaps well this game.
The sad part is that Raiola can be a run threat. He’s a big dude and he can move enough to make teams pay and he just almost refuses to do it. That play he fumbled on he looked like a fullback running with reckless abandon….just put the ball away.See how much better the offensive line looks without a statue under center.
