per Megan:
Nebraska ultimately lost 54-21 at TCF Bank Stadium and, at 4-6 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten, now must win out against Penn State and Iowa to avoid a losing season.
“Right now, you have to inherently rely in the character of the people around you,” Riley said. “It sounds like a broken record, but the coaches will get together to plan and prepare, and the players, I think, will just have to call upon whatever their own personal pride to do the right thing. Whether or not their lights have been on all the way, whatever that is, whatever the opinion of what it looked like today, they are good kids. They have worked hard. They did prepare.
“We had a plan. We did not, obviously, prepare for this, surprised by it. But I will continue to say that they had great intentions and tried in every way to get ready to play.”
Riley’s future at Nebraska is even more under siege after the loss, the Cornhuskers’ second this season in which they gave up at least 50 points; they lost 56-14 to Ohio State on Oct. 14. The Cornhuskers are only 19-17 in three seasons under Riley, and Shawn Eichorst, the athletic director who hired him, was fired in September, replaced last month by Bill Moos.
