That 3rd quarter was critical. I knew we would need a two score lead. Also, no pressure on their QB on that last drive? Terrible defensive play calling there.
There was one coach who fit all the characteristics that I was seeking to lead our tradition-rich football program,” Eichorst said. “Mike Riley has a proven record of success, a sound approach to football and teaching, an understanding of the educational mission of our university and the integrity and values that we cherish at Nebraska. I have no doubt that Mike will assemble a tremendous staff and lead our student-athletes to win Big Ten titles and compete for national championships in the years ahead.”
“We have high expectations of the men and women who teach and coach our students and Mike Riley is an outstanding addition to our family,” Chancellor Harvey Perlman said. “I want to welcome Mike and his family to Nebraska and thank Shawn Eichorst for his great efforts in bringing Mike to Lincoln.”
