Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola ran to find his mother, Yvonne, near the north end zone. He hugged her after his 28-for-38 passing performance accounted for 293 yards and one touchdown. Raiola embraced his brother Dayton, a Nebraska QB commit, and his sister Taylor, a recruiting staffer for the Huskers. Dylan tossed his kid cousin in the air.

Nebraska is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016 after a 44-25 win over Wisconsin on Saturday. The win snapped a four-game skid for the Cornhuskers after a 5-1 start to the season.  Nebraska jumped out to a 21-10 halftime lead and didn't look to get the blueblood program back to the postseason.

Nebraska improved to 6-5 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten in front of 86,923 fans in the 403rd consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. Wisconsin falls to 5-6 on the season and 3-5 in the league. Emmett Johnson led the Husker offense,
