Dylan Raiola injury: Nebraska QB exits game vs. US with ankle issue

Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola exited the game against USC in the third quarter due to an apparent ankle injury sustained during a sack that resulted in a fumble recovery by USC. Raiola, who did not return to the game, was replaced by backup TJ Lateef, a former three-star recruit. Prior to his injury, Raiola had completed 10 of 15 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to Dane Key. Raiola, a five-star recruit from the 2024 class, has been instrumental in Nebraska's 6-2 start this season, building on a previous season where he passed for 2,819 yards and 13 touchdowns. This season, he had accumulated 1,909 yards and 17 touchdowns with six interceptions before the USC game. Raiola's performance has included at least one touchdown pass in eight of Nebraska's nine games.
