Ready to Win Championships
Sipple said he was sitting pool side at the hotel when Dylan Raiola and Carter Nelson strolled by and Sipple said, “You guys need to get back to playing in bowl games”. To which Nelson said, “What do you mean just bowl games, we want to win championships”.

Far and Fast
Shouldn't teams be worried that Dylan Raiola can throw 70 yards and Jaylen Lloyd can run 22 mph?

Not All Perfect
Turning the ball over 4 times. This @polynesiabowl game feels all too familiar for Husker fans. Thankfully, Dylan Raiola only threw one of the 4 picks and I don’t think it was his fault. Looks like the receiver didn’t run the right route to me. #polynesiabowl #GBR pic.twitter.com/gAeMSgF1E5
