Dylan Raiola, Nebraska Disappoint CFB Fans in OT with Loss vs. Luke Altmyer, Illinois

A battle between two exciting quarterbacks saw Luke Altmyer's Illinois come out on top against Dylan Raiola's Nebraska in overtime on Friday.

Fans couldn't have asked for a much more exciting contest as the two teams stayed neck and neck throughout the game. Nebraska and Illinois traded fourth-quarter touchdowns and the Huskers later had the chance to take the lead on a field goal, but missed to keep the score locked at 24.

In overtime, the Fighting Illini practically walked into the endzone. It took just two plays for Illinois to score and put the pressure on Nebraska.

The Huskers had quite the opposite experience in their overtime drive as Illinois' offensive line had their way with Raiola, backing him up to make it 3rd and 42. Raiola ultimately couldn't overcome the massive setback and Nebraska picked up its first loss of the season.

Besides a sloppy showing in overtime, it was an impressive performance from the true freshman Raiola, who had 284 passing yards with three touchdowns. Still, fans were disappointed about the poor effort in overtime.

Altmyer is off to the best start of his career after three years of mediocrity, and the hot start continued on Friday. He had 204 passing yards with four touchdowns, completing 21 of his 27 passes as he led the Illini to the big win in overtime.

While Raiola was the storyline coming into the game, Altmyer showed fans that he's looking to end his career with a bang.

Illinois improved to 4-0 with the win, picking up its first Big Ten win and second ranked win of the season. The Fighting Illini will have another huge test next week as they take on Penn State.

The Huskers drop to 3-1 on the year but still have plenty of games to make up for the loss. Nebraska will continue Big Ten play next week with a matchup with Purdue.
