Dylan Raiola might love Patrick Mahomes more than anyone on this Earth.
Raiola led the Cornhuskers to a 20-15 victory against Boston College in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
It should’ve been a great moment, but his postgame antics are making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Raiola passed for 224 yards with a touchdown and interception in the win, putting Nebraska at 7-6 on the year.
After the victory, Dylan Raiola decided to run around the stadium by himself, pumping up the crowd, which many viewed as excessive.
Some even accused him of once again portraying his favorite NFL player, Patrick Mahomes.

Nebraska HC Matt Rhule Makes Comparison Between Dylan Raiola and Patrick Mahomes
Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule loves his quarterback Dylan Raiola after he led the team to a bowl victory over Boston College.
It’s been a rollercoaster of a season for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. They started 5-1 and ended 7-6.
Dylan Raiola ended the year on a high note, securing the win for Nebraska and earning a strong comparison to the quarterback he idolizes, Patrick Mahomes.
“I think he’s had a great first year. Playing quarterback as a freshman in the Big Ten is not easy,” Rhule said of Raiola via On3. “So you look at the great players in the NFL — the (Patrick) Mahomes — every game that Mahomes was at Texas Tech he had to go win the game for them to even have a chance.
“So Dylan has had those opportunities this year. Dylan, for us to have a chance, you’re going to have to play well. Everyone else has to do the same thing.”
