Mike Riley
2015 - 2 point loss (21-23) Down to the wire
2016 - 6 point loss (17-23) Overtime
2017 - 21 point loss (17-38) Huskers hang tough late into game
AVG: 9.6 point loss
Riley's teams early in the build of team structure and identity, with inherited roster full of cancers and depth issues way more competitive. Pelini was handed a roster of talent in 2008, had three seasons under his belt building his team's identity. He was embarrassed in historic fashion with 3 blow outs. The right people know this.
