Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola's season is done, according to multiple reports.
According to ESPN, the Cornhuskers sophomore quarterback is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 college football season with a broken fibula after he left the Week 10 game vs. Southern California in a 21-17 loss.
The injury came in the third quarter of Nebraska's game vs. USC after he got the ball stripped out of his hands by USC defensive end Anthony Lucas. As Raiola fell to the ground, he landed awkwardly and appeared to twist his lower leg in the process. He was replaced by freshman backup TJ Lateef.
Raiola posted on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 2 to thank fans for their thoughts and prayers, adding that his injury is "just a small bump in the road to a beautiful journey back to playing the game I love."

He ultimately was unable to return to the game. Following the game, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule told reporters he decided not to let his quarterback return to the game.
"I love you too much to ask you to play when you are hurt like this," Rhule said of his decision.
