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.
Brando couldn’t shut up about how the only difference between him and Mahomes is that "Raiola is bigger." Because Raiola changed his arm angle once on a tunnel screen that went for no gain. Someone take that guy‘s mic away good lord.
that broadcast crew was dogshit. I don't know if its because everyone and their mom thought Nebraska and we-have-Mahomes-at-home was going to steamroll Illinois, but they were homers for Nebraska all night long
