The start of the new college football season is already generating buzz. In Nebraska’s debut, quarterback Dylan Raiola executed an impressive play with one of his wide receivers to score an epic touchdown. In response, none other than Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes delivered a strong reaction.
In the season opener for several college teams, Nebraska kicked off with a movie-worthy play. Memorial Stadium in Lincoln witnessed what could be one of the standout moments of the season.
In Week 1, the Cornhuskers of the Big Ten Conference secured a notable victory over UTEP. Under the guidance of Matt Rhule, they dominated the game with a final score of 40-7.
Not only did the game result satisfy the home fans, but spectators also witnessed a remarkable play between Raiola and WR Isaiah Neyor. The QB landed a perfect 59-yard pass through two defenders, allowing Neyor to sprint to the end zone for an incredible touchdown.
