College football fans poked fun at Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, who mimicked another move by Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes in the Cornhuskers' 24-6 loss against Minnesota on Friday night.

It's no secret that Raiola idolizes the three-time NFL champion, wearing a similar jersey number and imitating some of Mahomes' moves in every game. During the game against the Golden Gophers, Raiola paid homage to the Kansas City QB by attempting to throw the football as he was close to falling on the ground.

Fans saw this on X and posted their hilarious comments. Bleacher Report felt that Raiola's mimicry of Mahomes was done on purpose.

"Dylan Raiola is NEVER beating the Mahomes allegations 🤯," the fan wrote.

Raiola's move resulted in a pass completion to Nyziah Hunter, but that didn't help Nebraska from falling to a determined Minnesota squad. The Golden Gophers' defense shut down the No. 25 Cornhuskers and Minnesota's offense took advantage of it, scoring 17 straight points in the second half to emerge victorious.
