A new era for the Nebraska football team begins on Saturday night as the Huskers take on the UCLA Bruins. No, that's not what marks the start of the new era. It's that a quarterback not named Dylan Raiola will get the start tonight for the first time since 2023. Considering how many times Raiola has been hit the last two years, this is the first time the backup has gotten a start.
Nonetheless, TJ Lateef gets the nod against a Bruins team that is better than it was to start the season, especially at the quarterback position.
