LINCOLN NEB. (KMTV) â Nebraska Athletics announced Sunday sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola will miss the rest of the season with a lower leg injury.
Raiola went down in the third quarter of the Huskers' game against USC on Saturday, Nov. 1 and did not return.
In his post-game press conference, head coach Matt Rhule said Raiola wanted to go back in, but Rhule said no.
"At the end of the day I just donât think you can put a guy out there who canât protect himself," Rhule said. "I donât think thatâs the right thing to do. The trainers didnât want him to go out there, but they didnât say that he canât. They just said he shouldnât be out there, so I told Dylan I love you too much to play when youâre hurt like this.â
Nebraska's next game is at UCLA Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. central time on FOX.
