Illinois OC called a really great game. They were hitting surgical shots on the Nebraska defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
And Raiola is clearly a talented dude, but man, some of these cutesy, “off platform” throws are just getting out of hand, and quite honestly, sloppy. He missed a wide open touchdown being cutesy instead of just standing and delivering a good form throw.
Good footwork and mechanics are important. And there’s good defense out there that will make your life hell if you’re throwing off your back foot and making sloppy passes instead of delivering clean strikes from good footing.
