Overview
- Rhule announced Donovan Raiola will not be retained after four seasons leading Nebraska’s offensive line and as the lone holdover from the previous staff.
- The Huskers allowed 30 sacks in 12 games, including nine against Minnesota, with pass protection widely cited in coverage of the decision.
- Quarterback Dylan Raiola, Donovan’s nephew, is rehabbing a Nov. 1 broken fibula and had about 2,000 passing yards with 18 touchdowns before his season ended.
- CBS Sports reporting, echoed by multiple outlets, says Nebraska is bracing for Dylan to at least explore the transfer portal in January, though no decision has been announced.
- HuskerOnline reports Nebraska is moving toward Georgia Tech’s Geep Wade as a replacement candidate, as staff turnover continues with DC John Butler previously dismissed and Phil Snow handling bowl preparations.
