the Dylan Raiola era kicks off Saturday against UTEP at 2:30 PM CST.

The Miners are coming off a three-win season but they have a new head coach in Scotty Walden, who brought 11 transfers to UTEP from Austin Peay. Some nice pieces are coming back and it wouldn’t surprise me to see this team competing for a bowl berth.

Jevon Jackson rushed for 1,373 yards and 10 touchdowns for Austin Peay last season and he’s one of the dudes Walden brought with him along with talented wideout Trey Goodman, who averaged 21 yards per reception last season.

Cade McConnell is the expected starter after passing for 1,437 yards last season for UTEP. Yet, Skyler Locklear came over from Austin Peay and could also be a factor.

Defensively, UTEP has some solid pass rushers and good players in the secondary, but the linebackers are a question mark and so is the run defense.

According to a post on X, former LSU tight end Mac Markway is now a member of the Husker football team. His bio on his X account reads "Tight End at Nebraska."

Per a report, Markway practiced with the Huskers on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-4, 258-pound Markway, a product out of De Smet Jesuit Hight School in St. Louis, played in 12 games with one start as a true freshman at LSU in 2023. He caught three passes for 16 yards and one touchdown. He entered the transfer portal on Aug. 6.


Per sources, Markway has joined the program as a walk-on, allowing him to practice but his ability to appear in games remains in doubt. When the transfer portal window opens in December, Nebraska would have the ability to put the sophomore on scholarship if they chose to and he will be fully eligible at that point.

Markway was a member of the 2023 class and rated as the No. 8 tight end, the No. 5 overall player in the state of Missouri and the No. 178 recruit nationally.

How you feeling about Raiola Fearless?

Reports out of camp?

I’m excited to see him play and build because I think he’s going to be special

feeling very good about Dylan

we know he has the physical tools and skills

I'm so far impressed with his maturity and demeanor
It seems he's spent his life around NFL players and acts as such

he won't be asked to throw for 3,000 yards and 30 tds

he's just being asked to move the chains and protect the ball - no turnovers

I think he will be fine
the Colorado game will be a test for him.
Especially if we get in a shootout

having 4 of the first 5 games at home should help him get his feet under him and gain some confidence
although he's not lacking confidence - also he's not cocky

Yeah- he has a rocket for an arm.  Can’t lie I’m looking forward to seeing Nebraska toss the ball around the field. That might not happen on day one with him, but eventually it will.

No turnovers.  Wretched turnover margin has defined the program the past 15+ years.  Historically dreadful.

I don't think CU v Nebraska has been a night time affair since 1992.   A very rare AP No. 8 vs No. 8 match-up.    That was a mighty fine game.
