Week 7: Matt Rhule Speaks with Media, Scouting Oregon
Nebraska is preparing for three Oregon quarterbacks while managing injuries to Jamir Conn and Riley Van Poppel, Rhule said.
On Saturday, Oct. 17, Oregon hosts the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Autzen Stadium, setting the stage for quarterback Dylan Raiola to face his former team after spending two seasons starting in Lincoln.
Oregon starter Dante Moore remains in concussion protocol, leaving Raiola and backup Brock Thomas competing for the starting role after Raiola completed just 32% of passes with two interceptions against UCLA.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said his team is preparing for all three Oregon quarterbacks, noting, "When had to make a change and they played , the offense stays very similar." The Huskers are rebounding from a 20-17 loss to Indiana.
Raiola expressed "love and respect" for Rhule and his former coaches, saying "all that matters is winning" despite describing the reunion as "weird" seeing his old team across the field.
The 10 p.m. CT kickoff requires Nebraska to adjust sleep schedules and practice times, with the team traveling on Friday as the game is expected to extend into early Sunday morning.
