The news of Dylan Raiola's intention to enter the transfer portal certainly comes as a blow to the Nebraska football program, but it is one that was also expected. A lot of signs show that Raiola was probably leaning towards the portal with his season-ending injury, his brother's de-commitment from the Cornhuskers, and his uncle getting fired.
Nebraska will now either have to turn the reins over to quarterback TJ Lateef, who stepped in after Raiola's injury, or Rhule will look for his next starter in the transfer portal. Even though he acted like he didn't know anything, Rhule should have been planning for this.
