The highlights of Raiola&#8217;s long throws or squeezing in a touchdown pass into tight coverage always get buzz on social media.<\/p>\n<p>But on Friday night <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/games\/11-17-2023\/football-23\/buford-vs-norcross.htm?c=RUJDM1h2gk-tynLPxPD9_g#tab=scoretrkr&amp;schoolid=\">in a 28-25 win over Norcross<\/a> (Norcross, Georgia), Raiola made the kind of throw that he will need to make in the SEC. On third down and with 2:01 left in the game, Raiola faced a blitz and nearly was sacked, Instead of panicking, he stood tall and delivered what was really a tremendous throw.<\/p>\n<p>It was a savvy throw that actually projects well for his future in the SEC with Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s impressive about this throw from Raiola is that he delivered the ball accurately in the face of such pressure. That he did so in a clutch moment to seal the game for Buford only adds to the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The blitzer went right through the A-Gap untouched and Raiola delivered this pass with the pressure not just in his face and bearing down but also hitting him. And yet Raiola still delivered a perfect throw for a first down to essentially end the game for Buford.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">WOW<img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> 3rd and 10, to win the game, Dylan Raiola stays in the pocket and delivers a bullet for a first down and Buford will go on to ice the clock and win the game<img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/203c.png\" alt=\"\u203c\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Raiola is a an absolute killer man<img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f624.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude24\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoDawgs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoDawgs<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QB1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#QB1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lbgFu1GU6T\">pic.twitter.com\/lbgFu1GU6T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Athens Steve (@rainy_steve) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rainy_steve\/status\/1725714645762109804?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is easy to be impressed with the throws that show his arm strength or his accuracy.
