Dylan Raiola Says Their Loss To Michigan Is Going To Make Nebraska "Come Together And Do Something Scary"

Call me a hater (I don't think this guy is very good), but this is corny. Everyone gets on Dylan Raiola's case for mimicking Patrick Mahomes in every aspect of life, so he took a moment off from copying the Chiefs QB here to give his very best Tim Tebow impression:

Is that exactly what this is? Raiola knew that his Nebraska teams have been all hype, zero production....and they just lost the easiest "big game" in the history of sports, at home against a not very good Michigan team. If they could've just won yesterday, they'd be set up to run the table until they travel to Penn State in November, but even a loss there would be okay to make the playoff. But Raiola was sacked 7 times and the Huskers couldn't stop the run. They look like they have a 0.0% chance of being a contender this year. So with everyone doubting them, what better time to bring out a "we're going to come together and do something scary" speech?

The only problem is that when Tebow made his speech, they were coming off a National Title, ranked #4 in the country, had Urban Meyer as their head coach, and had players such as Percy Harvin, Brandon Spikes, Brandon James, Mike Pouncey, and Joe Haden on their roster. When he promised that "a lot of good will come out of this", he meant it. Dylan Raiola is just saying it because it'd be cool if they won a bunch of games after this. Besides, what is "scary"? Seriously, what can this Nebraska team do that would be considered scary? Because outside of beating USC, Penn State, and winning AT LEAST the Big Ten Title, nothing matters anymore. No one care if they go 9-3 and win a Bowl Game. Honestly, I can't even consider making the playoff "scary". 12 teams make it each year. This speech was way too premeditated and way too corny, and it's impossible for him to follow through on it.
