Steven M. Sipple: Raiola goes by the book with teachings, some of it from Milt's old book

Dominic Raiola isn't certain he should tell you all he knows. But he gladly shares some of it.

After all, he's revved up by the discussion and knows the information is a window into a critical part of Nebraska's football operation.

It's a part of the operation in serious need of repair.

As Husker offensive linemen grind through winter conditioning, he says, they wear the same workout garb and they don't leave the locker room until they're all ready to head to the weight room.

"They all walk in together now, and they'll walk onto the field together," says Raiola, 43, an All-American center at Nebraska in 2000 and the older brother of first-year Husker offensive line coach Donovan Raiola.
