Syracuse held its opponents to 22.7 points per game under White, which was the fifth-fewest in the ACC this season.
Raiola will be entering into his second season as the team’s OL coach in 2023. Rhule must have seen something from Raiola this season to retain the former Nebraska star on staff.
Stay tuned for any more updates on Nebraska’s coaching staff.
