@TheRedZoneBlitz@UCLAFootball Allowing him to go on an 84-yard, 20 play drive is inexcusable. The 4.2 average yards per play on the drive says it all… we sat back in soft coverage and allow them to take layups all the way down the field for a touchdown to win the game
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. There is zero logical explanation for sitting back in coverage and only rushing 3 the majority of the time when we had 2 years seeing firsthand what the defensive game plan is for beating Riaola, which @UCLAFootball validated again just last week.
Could there be any way to lose that was more representative of the way Husker Football has gone over the past decade than having their former QB come off the bench after looking like absolute shit just the week before, only for him to find a way to lead his team on a last minute, game-winning drive to beat the Huskers?
@RzbProf Defense came up big to bow up and hold them to a FG, but I definitely get the sense the pucker factor is in full effect on the offensive side of the ball
With the Ducks only tallying 50 total yards on offense in the First Half, do you expect @oregonfootball to turn to former Husker QB Dylan Raiola in the Second Half?
💥💥 BOOM!!! 💥💥
TOUCHDOWN @HuskerFootball!
After almost 2 full quarters of both teams punting the ball back and forth, Huskers take a 7-0 lead into half!

@MattMcMedia Oregon’s running backs saw their yards per carry jump from 3.3 yards with Raiola at QB to 4.6 yards once Thomas took over. For context, 4.6 YPC is right near the average for FBS teams, while 3.3 YPC would rank near the bottom of FBS teams nationally.
@THuskerne7 Im not sure about that. This is from earlier in the game where he hits him in a similar situation and it goes for 15+. Either way, with them going for it on 4th, he has to know hes got 2 plays to pick it up and even if it ends up 4th & 4-5, we have a lot more options than 4th & 9
