Steven M. Sipple: Confused by NU's snap issue, Raiola didn't know how to throw a bad one

As a former All-America center at Nebraska, Dominic Raiola is sensitive to the plight of centers everywhere, especially at his alma mater.

He tried to stay as positive as possible Friday as current Husker center Cameron Jurgens fired back four errant shotgun snaps during the first half of NU's 26-20 loss at Iowa.

One of the snaps was exceedingly low, another comically high. But, you know, it's really not a laughing matter.

Let's be clear: Raiola is not piling on Jurgens, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound sophomore with enormous potential. Nobody wants to pile on. It's just that the situation is, well, confusing.
