I predict the following: If Nebraska winsAnti Riley faction: Oregon isn't what they once were, I could've beaten Oregon with the talent Nebraska has Pro Riley faction: Looks like he's still a good coach, wish he was still here! If Oregon winsAnti Riley faction: The games has passed him by, still can't beat a spread team, he'll be fired by Halloween. Pro Riley faction: It's just a loss to a good team, he's still in a weak division of the Big10, don't be surprised if they end up in the B1G championship. No matter who winsbaseba1111: You're all idiots, it was obvious who was going to win, it means nothing, and I don't understand why everyone has a problem with me. You're the problem, proven by your misuse of a semi-colon and the double-space after a period you used in your reply. LOL I will say this: I'm squarely in the Pro Riley column. If Nebraska absolutely rolls Oregon, you still will not hear me say that I wish he was still at Oregon State. It was time. I'm not sure if CGA is the long-term solution in Corvallis or not - but I do believe that part of college football is the need to shake things up and get some new blood in from time to time. The administration was not going to invest in a Riley-run program, that much we have seen prove out to be true. The boosters also need something to rally around. Riley taking the job at Nebraska was an absolute gift, it woke up some of our boosters who had grown frustrated with the ceiling and everyone opened up their pocketbooks. Now we are in a period of reinvestment. We may not find a Riley-or-better staff in my lifetime, but you can't just sit on your hands either. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm with you that something needed to change. I'll disagree that Andersen coming in caused people to open up their pocket books. A majority of the money for the VFC expansion was committed prior to the coaching change, and attendance/season tickets didn't spike when GA was hired.

Nebraska's defense got lit up like a video game by Purdue - easily the worst B1G team last season. Hard to imagine they'll have figured out the spread since they never did seem to make any progress against it here. Yet they hammered UCLA in a bowl game. Oh, and beat the conference champion. UCLA in bowl games is typically a disaster. As for Michigan State - they run a pro-style offense. Banker can defend that.

If Oregon has a QB who can move the O, they win big. If they don't, it's all over. The bowl game vs Baylor indicated that's the way the 2016 season will go for them.
To me the real mystery is how they built one heck of a race car (the rest of the team) and managed to see good drivers (QB's) be MIA. If Oregon had our top two QB's, they would win the Pac-12 easily. I find it funny that when they're looking for someone who can run a spread, that it's us who have the studs behind center! Wasn't the 2nd half of the CW a wonderful taste of what we're going to enjoy more and more on O of as GA shapes up da' Beavs?

We have completely unproven QBs right now so far. uo with the kid from EWU was a very different team than without him, it could be that it really does take a pretty special kid to make them effective. Other than that I agree with most of your sentiment.

Oh man, it's fun to go back and re-read posts from time to time. This post is even better three months later.

that game kind of exposes NU for being mediocre at best this year (and way overated in rankings). their fans know it too after last weeks game.

LOL. i'd give my left nut to be 7-0 and called "mediocre" right now... Also, we can credit Nebraska for tanking Oregon's season. they lost 3 key players in that game.

Mediocre by what measure...worst or second worst of remaining undefeated teams? I'm gonna die laughing if Nebraska wins this week and moves into the upper echelon of mediocre. Gotta give Riley credit for winning the games he's supposed to win. I figured they would be 5-2 right now with at least one boneheaded loss. But not yet. Nebraska 2016 may go down like OS 2013, and if that's the case you can slap the mediocre tag on them. But they are ranked in the top 10, that's pretty awesome considering this wasn't supposed to be a great year for them.

Didn't OSU start out at 7-0 under Riley one year?
