Nebraska has no choice but to trust freshman quarterback TJ Lateef this Saturday as the Cornhuskers face the UCLA Bruins. During their loss to USC last week, Nebraska saw quarterback Dylan Raiola break his fibula, ending his season.
Matt Rhule expresses his belief in Lateef but at this point he has no other option
The Cornhuskers’ head coach Matt Rhule said all the right things about Lateef but the odds are stacked against him, with Nebraska likely to be without both of their starting tackles. Both tackles were injured in the Cornhuskers’ loss last week against USC.
Nebraska will adjust their gameplan to fit the dual-threat Lateef
“I think making sure we put together a plan and that he’s comfortable with everything he needs to do. As I said, guys are going to have to do a great job of being strong around him. Even in the game, he came out with a check down in the red zone and he saw zero, he checked it to a tunnel screen,” Rhule said of Lateef. “Jacory (Barney) is wide open and he would’ve walked it in, just dropped the snap. He’s mentally, though, at a really, really high level. He just needs reps. When you’re the backup quarterback, you’re getting reps but not as many. Now, he needs reps. Jalyn (Gramstad) needs reps. Anybody else we use at quarterback will need reps this week.”
Lateef has had success in his limited action
Lateef has seen a bit of action this season in relief duties, throwing for 261 yards and a touchdown on 16-19 passing. On the ground Lateef has picked up 50 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns. Lateef has fumbled three times, all coming against the Trojans, but Nebraska was able to recover all three.
Dylan Raiola is a gamer
Rhule expressed his belief in Lateef and his admiration for Raiola’s toughness, who was trying to re-enter the game after breaking his leg.
“I believe 100% in TJ (Lateef) and what he’s going to get done and we’re going to put a great game plan together for him. I hate it for Dylan (Raiola). I love Dylan. If anyone says anything about Dylan just know this, the kid had a broken leg and he was warming up and begging me to play. That’s all you need to know about that kid to know who he is.” Rhule said.
UCLA needs to take advantage of the depleted Cornhuskers
Nebraska has the deck stacked against them, now it’s up to UCLA to make them pay.
LINCOLN—Matt Rhule said Nebraska football is “at a crossroads.”
The Huskers are 6-3 after a 21-17 loss to No. 23 USC. In that loss, the Big Red also lost starting quarterback Dylan Raiola for the season. With a true freshman stepping in and a College Football Playoff berth officially off the table, Rhule said this is a pivotal moment for the season and the program.
“We’re sitting at a crossroads right now as a team,” Rhule said at Monday’s press conference. “It’s an unbelievable opportunity for us. These next three games are some of the most important time for our team and for our program moving forward.”
Rhule likened the moment to one of his favorite books: “Legacy”. The James Kerr book is about the New Zealand rugby team, more commonly known as the All Blacks. The book looks at the iconic team that had “kind of lost their way” before rebuilding and the rules that they lived by.
“One of them is plant trees that you’ll never see,” Rhule said. “It’s about leaving places better than you found them. I really wanted our seniors to have a chance to continue to battle and fight to be a CFP team.”
Rhule added that Saturday’s effort from players that won’t be here to see how high the program can go and environment from the fans are seeds that will get Nebraska back to a place among the nation’s elite.
“I thought the way they fought, battled, and compete for each other when they had some bad breaks… I think those are the things that you can build off of,” Rhule said. “I thought what everyone did with the blackout will have a profound impact on what we’re trying to get done moving forward.
“I do think it’s important, while we’re disappointed and angry and upset, to also be very, very grateful for that atmosphere, for that crowd, for that opportunity.”
On the injury front, Raiola will have surgery this week for a broken fibula suffered in the USC game.
Offensive tackle Elijah Prichett was also hurt against USC. Rhule expects him to be ready to go at UCLA on Saturday, along with the other banged offensive lineman like Turner Corcoran.
