The Nebraska Cornhuskers entered Week 10 of the 2025 season at 6-2, searching for a signature win but trending upward after a 7-6 season in 2024.
Newly extended head coach Matt Rhule got that opportunity in Saturday’s matchup against a ranked USC squad. After falling to Michigan in September, Nebraska came in with a chance to take down its first ranked opponent in years.
However, the Cornhuskers took a significant blow on Saturday when their QB1, Dylan Raiola, left the game in the third quarter with an apparent injury.
Here’s the latest on Raiola’s status after leaving the Week 10 matchup against USC.

What happened to Dylan Raiola?
Nebraska was carrying a lead in Saturday’s matchup after halftime. Raiola, who had a touchdown pass, got the ball back early in the third quarter with a chance to extend his team’s lead.
But just a few plays into the drive, the USC defense got to Raiola on first down, sending him to the ground. In the process, he lost the football on a fumble — and the quarterback then remained on the field.
Raiola’s ankle appeared to get caught beneath him as he was tackled. He was removed from the game after the play, which resulted in a turnover.
