Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola Exits With Ankle Injury as USC Rallies Past Huskers 21-17

Nebraska faces uncertainty at quarterback next week at UCLA as no diagnosis or timetable was announced following Raiola’s right-ankle injury.

Overview

  • Raiola left in the third quarter after a blind-side sack by USC’s Anthony Lucas forced a fumble and appeared to twist his right ankle.
  • He was evaluated in the medical tent, had his foot heavily taped per NBC’s Kathryn Tappen, and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • Before exiting, Raiola was 10-of-15 for 91 yards and a touchdown, and true freshman TJ Lateef replaced him and went 5-of-7 for 7 yards.
  • USC overturned a 14-6 deficit with Jayden Maiava’s 16-yard rushing score, a successful two-point run, and a fourth-quarter touchdown by King Miller.
  • The loss dropped Nebraska to 6-3 and extended Matt Rhule’s skid against ranked opponents, with a road trip to UCLA up next.
