Oregon kept Raiola within his comfort zone, and didn’t ask or need him to do anything more. Handed off a lot to an effective running game. Between good OL play and quick throws by design, he didn’t have much pressure. Never asked to run. If you watched the game, many of his throws were to receivers behind the line of scrimmage, including a 50 yarder. His last TD that sealed the game was probably his longest throw, and if you notice he looked wide open at first and yet the catch was contested.

But Raiola was elite with the throws under 10 yards, as he was here, and maybe that’s all Oregon needs. But I think they will need more when they are playing a team with a pulse, identity, and talent.

That TD pass was typical Dylan.
A drunk kicker could have thrown a better ball.

B1G will get 3 teams in the CFP.
Iowa, USC or Oregon will be one of those 3, in addition to tOSU/Indiana.
I do not think it will be USC. There is someth
If we go to Oregon and lose big, with Raiola carving up our defense, I am going to puke. That will be a nightmare.
Shall I get an order in to Amazon for emesis basins to send your way? I think it is going to be tough sledding in Eugene. The Ducks are one of those teams if they get you down they will run the score up as high as they can. You think Penn State fans are arrogant. Move to the Northwest and put up with the Duck a$$holes. Phil Knight's money have made them cocky and very irritating.

Another thing USC game planned for Dante Moore obviously. This is HS where another QB comes in you just can’t get the chalkboard out and draw up a new defense. Now that Dylan likely will be qb 1. Teams will try to defend Oregon differently. There is no threat of running and I think they will try to take way the short passes as much as they can . They want Dylan holding the ball longer and in the pocket to pressure and having to go through all his reads which we all know is the weakest part of his game.

Yep…proves that $ can’t always buy a winning team…but it helps.
It always comes down to what you do with it.

We have recruited more talent than most B1G teams since we started in the league, but have always woefully underperformed. Has there been a year that Iowa put together a stronger recruiting class than Nebraska? Yet, they line up and beat our *** year after year after year.

He looked good. They should have blitzed him more.
This. I watched his highlights. If he’s standing upright in the pocket, he can deliver the ball. I don’t know why USC didn’t blitz the crap out of him. He cannot improvise worth crap. On one of his receptions at the end of the game, they did send pressure and he lobbed it off of his back foot. Could’ve easily been intercepted. He has zero chance of playing professionally.

Dana is still the OC.

That's a problem.
Well an Iowa fan would certaily know a thing or two about bad OCs, having lived through the Brian Manboobs era.

I'm not a huge fan of Holgorsen, but at least he's not a nepotism hire that the AD had to step in and fix. That had to be pretty embarrassing, even for a loudmouthed troll who has the social life of a mentally ill 13 year-old.

Oregon was nearly taking a catch to the house every drive. Start going crazy on blitzes and they would have been busting off 70 yard tds.

Did all you guys who are trying to convince yourself Dylan only threw 10 yard passes just not see his 50 yard TD toss? Or his sick fake that led to his other TD? Dude was on fire last nite.
People are way too emotional about him and are trying to will him to fail. Coming in cold to win a top 20 road game and people are acting like he's a scrub. Lol

I'm shocked USC isn't blitzing DR? They should know he can't scramble but this is USC we're talking about. Dylan kill zones but struggles against man-to-man and pressure.
DR can throw it for sure. Shows what you can do when you have a line not DII players at WR. He’s going to be fun to watch in the NFL. Wish we had an NFL QB.

Despite a couple comments after he transferred he seems like a good kid who represented NU well. He came in cold, led two TD drives to win the game, didn't make any critical errors, all in a hostile environment against a thug team. He did alright for himself and I'm happy for him.

Ya USC game plan was fur Dante Moore not Dylan. This isn’t HS you can’t just change midstream. Now that Dylan is likely QB1 you are going to see DCs change their game plan.they will try to take away the quick pass and put pressure on Dylan and make try to go through his options which we know he is not very good at .

Dude's killin it and he throws a nice ball.
One long completion he threw it falling back with a guy in his face. Heckuva throw but it was an under thrown 50/50 ball that his WR made a great play on. Oregon was giving their O line help on dropbacks because of his immobility.

One obvious thing I saw was how indifferent his O linemen appeared to act towards him. He would walk up and appear to want to chest bump and they would just ignore him. Odd interactions.
