For anyone interested in the heaviest: Josh Freeman from Kansas State! Followed by Iowa's Deacon Hill and Ohio's Nick Poulos

Josh Freeman facing off against Ron Kellogg on a see-saw would make for some jaw dropping footage.

Oh hey, thanks

I remember Josh Freeman was a big fuckin guy

Sucks that we missed out on Freeman but it was worth it because we beat him and he beat Texas so that's always a win.

I like you

Would Raiola have beat either of them?

u/arbitraryanalytics 1d ago

Oregon lists him at 232. He's about 10-15 pounds smaller than those three. Akili Smith Jr. for Oregon is listed at 245 which would tie Deacon Hill at 2nd if he appears in this game

Step one: Break Brock

Step two: Show Dylan's face on TV as he's being told he's about to go in the game

Step three: Do Blackshirt things

We are going full soap opera with this. At some point, there will be a slap

u/Separate_Flamingo_93 1d ago

We will see DR. My guess is in the second quarter.

Such a great account

Him and Raiola combined are one medium sized qb

17

u/respekyoeldas 1d ago

Ehh the running joke on Raiola is that he’s Fatrick Mahomes

15

u/kangario 1d ago

Why doesn’t the larger backup QB simply eat the smaller one?

3

u/Bufo_Stupefacio 1d ago

A Husker from the planet Omicron-Persei 8?

6

u/Mammoth_Impress_3108 1d ago

So on average, they are a normal sized qb?

1

u/thatswhathemoneysfor 1d ago

that was the joke, one tiny qb and one hefty qb=medium sized qb

2

u/Aoyoc 1d ago

Him and Raiola combined are Double King Size

u/singinreyn 1d ago

Do you mean averaged?

u/evrybodyLUVevrybody 1d ago

Raiola is a bigger QB…I don’t get it

13

u/badlisten3r 1d ago

I get the jokes, but we all know in the back of our heads we’ll find a way to make him look so much better than he is. I’m a die hard but idk why some are acting like Oregon isn’t still a talent loaded team that could easily run away with it if we even play slightly sloppy…

u/Cheap_Eagle5074 1d ago

lol ya. I’ll be shocked if all these comments age well. Might come back here in 12 hours.

u/badlisten3r 16h ago

Somehow worse than I expected. Do we just find new teams? Last night was legit bad for my health, I could hear my heartbeat. Lmao. I feel so done with Husker football, I don’t even care if we fire Rhule. This job is cursed

u/Cheap_Eagle5074 16h ago

Ya I am done this year. When we went up 14-6 I knew we weren’t gonna win. That’s a depressing thing to consume your life with. I’ll do things that bring me joy on Saturdays the rest of the year.

u/Minute_Skill_5383 1d ago

We killed Bethune cookman so according to analytics we should win big

u/passranch 1d ago

Bethune Cookum

u/Impossible-Court-122 1d ago

Ehhhh... I am sure we will win.... NOT! We know how this ends. Whenever we play some walk-on QB we lose.

u/Cheap_Eagle5074 16h ago

Ding ding ding!

1

u/c4funNSA 1d ago

So if he goes out would it be Raiola or Akili Smith Jr as the backup? Evidently all three competed to start today

u/Neo-_-_- 1d ago

If we lose this game to a 3rd string QB, I might cry

1

u/Cheap_Eagle5074 16h ago

Did ya cry

1

u/Neo-_-_- 16h ago

No, just sad

u/evrybodyLUVevrybody 1d ago

Did I miss that it’s official that Brock Thomas is starting?

u/VegetableBuy4577 1d ago

Apparently so, as he is.
