that will evolve as the season goes on, per sources. Holgorsen joins the staff after investing this season with TCU as an offensive consultant.He signs up with Nebraska at a time when the offense– and freshman quarterback

in rushing offense and

No. 11 in passing offense. Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield has drawn criticism throughout Nebraska’s current offensive depression, which has seen a dip in the passing game of Raiola, who was ESPN’s No. 11 overall recruit and the leading pocket passer in the 2024 recruiting class.Raiola has the 3rd most interceptions among Big Ten quarterbacks with 8, trailing Michigan State’s Aidan Chiles( 11) and USC’s Miller Moss( 9), who is being benched by the Trojans

in favor of Jayden Maiava for next week’s match with the Cornhuskers.In the last 4 games, Raiola has thrown simply one goal and 6 interceptions. After starting 5-1, Nebraska is 5-4 and requires a win throughout a tough closing stretch to clinch the program’s very first bowl game given that 2016. That’s the longest dry spell of any team in power conference football.Nebraska has a bye today before next week’s see to USC.In adding Holgorsen, they are generating a coach who is a kept in mind quarterback tutor and author of prolific offenses.

Weeden, Geno Smith, Will Grier and Clayton Tune.Holgorsen arrived in Lincoln on Monday, per sources.
