A former Nebraska Heisman winner believes Dylan Raiola can return the Huskers to national prominence. Eric Crouch made the comments about the sophomore quarterback to Hurrdat Sports.
Dylan is a competitor. He’s got a tremendous arm. He’s super smart. He’s talented and strong. He’s going to do great things and I know that the challenge has always been for him, is trying to surround him with playmakers. The program is being built back up and that’s what he enjoys. I know that Dylan is in the right place. He had a lot of choices in where to go to college… but I think his heart is in Nebraska and he wanted to be able to be the guy that could bring this program back to dominance again and I think he’s the one that can do that.
Crouch played at Nebraska from 1997 to 2001. In 43 games, he ran for 3,434 yards and 59 touchdowns while throwing for 4,481 yards and 29 touchdowns with 25 interceptions.
He also won the 2001 Heisman Trophy over Florida’s Rex Grossman, Miami’s Ken Dorsey, and Oregon’s Joey Harrington. That season, he ran for 1115 yards and 18 touchdowns while throwing for 1,510 yards, seven touchdowns, and ten interceptions.
Last season, Raiola played in all 13 games for the Cornhuskers. He threw for 2,819 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on Thursday, August 28, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The kickoff time has yet to be determined.
