Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola Exits USC Game With Apparent Ankle Injury

Nebraska turned to true freshman TJ Lateef, with Raiola's status pending evaluation.

Overview

  • Raiola left early in the third quarter after USC defender Anthony Lucas forced a fumble on a sack, with Raiola's right ankle twisting on the play.
  • USC recovered the turnover as Raiola remained down, then he was attended to on the sideline and taken to the medical tent.
  • NBC's Kathryn Tappen reported Raiola's foot was heavily taped and that he tried to work through it before he ultimately did not return.
  • At the time of his exit, Raiola was 10-of-15 for 91 yards and a touchdown, and Nebraska led 14-6.
  • True freshman TJ Lateef, listed as the No. 2 quarterback, entered and had previously appeared twice this season with an 11-of-12 line for 254 yards and one touchdown.
