Overview

  • Nebraska announced Sunday that starting quarterback Dylan Raiola will miss the remainder of the 2025 season with a lower right leg injury.
  • ESPN and other outlets reported the injury as a broken right fibula sustained during the third quarter of Saturday’s 21-17 loss to USC.
  • Raiola was strip-sacked by USC’s Anthony Lucas, twisted his lower leg and exited; he finished 10-of-15 for 91 yards and a touchdown.
  • Rhule said Raiola wanted to re-enter but was held out for safety, and the quarterback later thanked supporters on Instagram and vowed to return.
  • Lateef, a true freshman, replaced Raiola and is the presumptive starter at UCLA as Nebraska recalibrates at 6-3 after nine games with Raiola posting 2,000 passing yards and 18 touchdowns.
