LINCOLN, Neb. —

During coach Matt Rhule's postgame news conference, he mentioned that "blood in the eyes Dylan" is the best version of him.

Raiola responded, saying that the coach pulled him aside during the game, and that moment struck him.

The sophomore said Rhule was trying to take his energy and channel it, which is exactly what he decided to do.

Despite feeling like the UCLA game from last season, this game went in the favor of the Huskers.

Raiola said that part of that is because of the closeness of the team.

"That locker room is strong. We're either going to break or we're going to come together," he said.
