The Riley Factor: Mike Riley and the new state of Nebraska football
by Lindsay Schnell
Riley’s arrival in Lincoln might’ve been the most shocking move of the off-season. Nebraska’s new head man spent the past 14 seasons at Oregon State, where he compiled a 98–80 record and won at least eight games on only six occasions. Corvallis might be the toughest place to win and recruit in the Pac-12, but Riley faces higher expectations with the Cornhuskers. Previous coach Bo Pelini won at least nine games in each of his seven seasons in town, and that wasn’t enough to keep his job. Can Riley improve on that success? He returns 12 starters, including quarterback Tommy Armstrong and defensive tackle Maliek Collins. But Nebraska’s schedule is no cupcake, with nonconference games against BYU and Miami and a cross-divisional meeting with Michigan State.
