After the game ended and he finished numerous interviews and conversations on the field, Mike Riley finally started walking across the field toward the tunnel entrance. One noticed the growing cheer from that quadrant of a still-very-full stadium as he approached. If one looked carefully, one noticed that he was walking with ... a dozen recruits. Think about the chaos that reigned on the field as the game ended. That these recruits waited until that moment to leave but then followed this grandfather when he decided to leave - this sort of thing does not happen by accident.

One of the biggest wins of his long career, and yet his mind is still focused on the bigger picture.
