  • Rhule said he spoke with the team and Dylan Raiola after Donovan Raiola’s departure but reiterated he will not address any player’s future publicly.
  • CBS Sports reported program concern that Dylan Raiola could explore transfer options, with no decision announced.
  • Nebraska’s struggles up front included 27 sacks of Raiola and poor run defense metrics, issues linked to the staff changes.
  • Raiola missed the final month with a broken fibula, and Nebraska is preparing for the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah.
