When is the last time the Huskers played a Top 10 team and you thought they would (or might) win? For me, never in the Pelini era. Never in the Callahan era. Maybe Solich around 2001?
During the time of those other coaches, I just hoped we wouldn't get embarrassed. Usually we did.
Riley has us believing in Year 1 that we beat the #4 ranked team in the country.
That's progress. And it feels "right". This is how we used to feel guys. Belief in yourself goes a long way to establishing a "program". These kids have never let the wheels fall off. They have always believed they could win. It's a start but it sure feels right again.
