Okay, so I was digging around the internet the other day, trying to find some interesting stats for the new Nebraska freshman quarterback, Dylan Raiola. You know, just to see how he’s been doing. And man, did I stumble upon something weird.
I was looking at his stats from the recent game, and I saw that he had a crazy -52 rushing yards. Negative fifty-two! I mean, how does a quarterback even manage to do that? I’ve seen negative rushing yards before, but -52? That’s insane!
So, I started going through all the game recaps and articles I could find. I watched some highlights and even tried to find the full game footage. The kid can throw, no doubt. His passing stats were decent – something like 17-of-23 for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He’s got potential, that’s for sure.
- He is a freshman quarterback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
- He set a new Nebraska freshman season passing record.
- He’s the son of Dominic Raiola, who played 14 years in the NFL.
- He signed some deal that lets a company use his name and image in video games, like that College Football 25 game.
Here’s what I gathered about him:
But I still couldn’t figure out how he got -52 rushing yards. It was driving me nuts! I even tried finding stats from other games, but it was always the same thing – his passing stats were there, but the rushing yards were this crazy negative number.
Then, I read some article about how NCAA penalties can change game results. It wasn’t a lot of help. Then I found another article saying that he talked to his coach about a play where he should have scrambled. Not much help here, either. I kept digging, reading comments, looking at social media, anything I could find.
It was a real head-scratcher. I spent hours on this, and I still don’t have a clear answer. Maybe it was a bunch of sacks, maybe some weird penalties, or maybe it’s just a glitch in the stats system. Whatever it is, it’s definitely one of the strangest things I’ve seen in football stats. But this is all I can found. If you guys have any ideas, let me know, because I’m still totally baffled by this -52 rushing yards thing!
