"...I don't sense that Beaver Nation is longing for the days of Riley, who didn't exactly leave the program in great shape from a talent standpoint when he accepted the Nebraska job in December.
The honeymoon period for Riley in Lincoln, Neb., lasted all of one game when the Huskers' lost their opener to BYU on a Hail Mary at home, the program's first season-opening loss in 29 years.:"

It will be interesting to see what happens at Nebraska as the kids catch on to his system. NU is literally 5 plays away from being included in the playoff conversation at this point, yet they only have toe wins. Those who think this is as good as it gets can't get rid of Riley fast enough, those who think the team might improve once everything's in place might hold some hope.

It is funny to read the nebraska board because it is just like reading our board over last few years of losing. They have the same gripes about the same things (ST coach making so much and not worth it as a non-recruiter, Defensive coaching, pass heavy O and ineffective rushing scheme(running into the backs of OL), clock management, penalties etc. and etc.

That's the real sad thing. |

MR's Husker team keeps finding ways to lose close games at the end. Hey, someone has to be on the wrong side of the bell curve...LOL!
Had Nebraska won all the close games, MR right now would be the #1 candidate for the "Lucky Dog Of The Year" award.

And really, if you think about it, with just a few lucky breaks here, there and everywhere, WE could be competing for a pac12 championship! Dang that Murphy!! |

As far as the Beavers being a few lucky breaks away from the pac 12 title (I assume/hope this was laced with some heavy sarcasm)
Nope - we would need about 1000 breaks (very one sided breaks) to be at a 500 record. Some/most of the Nebraska losses have been on the last play of the game (meaning they were in the game at the end)
I actually feel bad for NE and MR. In the next few weeks of B-10 play they will have the chance to show if they are the just recipients of bad luck or that they are actually a bad team. We already know where the Beavs stand.
