That’s all changed in recent years, to the dismay of Nebraska fans. But college football analyst Joel Klatt believes late-season relevancy might be returning to Lincoln soon, maybe even this fall. And it’s freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola who could be bringing the “it factor” back to Nebraska football.
