Dylan Raiola’s much-touted second season ended prematurely. A brutal, broken right fibula injury has knocked him out for the year. The star QB helplessly watches from afar and might be more pained by being away from the gridiron than he is because of the injury. Nebraska has a big game this weekend, as they travel to Happy Valley to play Penn State. Husker fans wanted nothing more than their star QB leading the front for this important clash. But having undergone surgery to repair a broken fibula, he has no choice but to sit back. “It’s killing him,” OC Dana Holgersen said of Raiola’s feelings on his absence at a recent presser. “This was a game that I was really looking forward to. People come here to play in games like these,” Holgersen quoted Raiola further. Nebraska is holding steady without the star QB, as TJ Lateef stepped in for him and defeated UCLA. But will the Huskers be able to plant their flag at PSU without their star QB? This is a developing story. 

Dylan Raiola is out for the season with a tough injury. But he'd rather be on the team for a crucial game this weekend.
