The Kansas City Chiefs are ready to get their season started, but first, we had to find out who they will play and when they will play those teams. The schedule has been released, and now fans can buy their tickets to visit Arrowhead Stadium, or away stadiums if they'd like.

But, there is one day in particular that they won't be able to visit Arrowhead Stadium. There is one day that Arrowhead Stadium will be in use for football, and it won't be the Chiefs playing. Instead, it will be a guy, who is very talented at football, throwing the rock around. He may look just like Patrick Mahomes, throw the ball like him, and play like him, but that's not Patrick Mahomes.

Despite the fact that they wear the same colors and numbers, if you see a No. 15 on the field on a Thursday, it's not Mahomes.

According to the stadium's official social media account, Arrowhead Stadium will be hosting a college football game this season, just like they did a few times last year for the Kansas Jayhawks. This team isn't as local as Kansas is, but there is a pretty big fan base in the KC area for this college team.

Nebraska football will play the Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday, August 28.

On Nebraska is the quarterback who became viral for looking, dressing, and playing exactly like Mahomes. And it's because he really looks up to him, and the two sides are close. Dylan Raiola showed some crazy flashes his freshman season, and he earned the respect and Mahomes and the Chiefs, so much so that he was in the locker room after one of the Chiefs' wins, celebrating the victory with some of the players on the team.

Now, he will get to run out of the same tunnel and play on the same field as the guy he looks up to most. This has to be one of his biggest dreams.
