LINCOLN, Neb. - Quarterback Dylan Raiola has one agenda at Nebraska - win football games.

Games such as this Saturday against #21 Michigan are what it’s all about. Raiola is off to one of the best starts of any quarterback in college football with eight passing touchdowns and 8.8 yards per attempt. 

Games like Saturday are also why Raiola wanted to be a Husker. 

"This is everything and more in why you come to Nebraska," Raiola said. "Nebraska should be in these games so we're going to embrace that, prepare as hard as we can for every opponent, no matter who it is, and hopefully come out victorious."

"I don't know what else to expect other than greatness," offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen said. "I know he [Raiola] is looking forward to it, I know Coach Rhule is, I am too, and this is a big game because all of them are big."

Saturday will be a battle of former five-star quarterbacks, as freshman Bryce Underwood leads the Wolverines to Lincoln. 

Kick off is set for 2:30 CT on CBS.
