If your lovely wife meant last weeks game that Ducks quarterback was Dylan Raiola, who was Nebraska’s starting quarterback for several years until he jumped ship to Oregon for more NIL $$$ and fame. I wouldn’t put it past him to throw a game but I can’t figure out what his goal would be. That it was Raiola who scored the touchdown against his old team that cinched our loss was bitter, acrid salt rubbed into the wound. Sigh…
