Mike Riley at Nebraska:
19-15 overall, 12-8 at home, 7-7 on the road
12-10 in B1G, 7-9 in B1G West
Trailed at the half 20 of 34 games at NU, 6-14 when trailing at the half. (1-5 in '15, 4-4 '16, 1-5 '17)
Like it or not Tommy's legs covered up problems on OL, won us some games we shouldn't have won last year. But Tommy was the problem they said... Riley trailed a the half in 8 games in '16.
Trailed at the half the last 4 games, 6 of the last 8, 14 of the last 20.
Mike has been outscored 87-48 in Q1 '17, he's dominated Q3, but poor starts (or poor gameplans/scripting) have cost him big time this year.
8 times he's had back-to-back losses at NU. (Solich 3, Callahan 5, Pelini 5)
Riley has had 1 stretch of 3+ wins in a row. (Solich 7, Callahan 5, Pelini 13)
NU is 6-9 in the last 15. Needed last play prayers to beat both Ark St & Purdue in 2 of those W's. Easily could be/probably should be 4-11 in last 15. It's a game of results, Mike's struggled to get them. Mike is not even his normal .500 self as of late.
NU has lost 5 home games in a season 3 times... 1947, 1951, 1957. If NU loses to Iowa, Riley will join that dubious list even Callahan failed to join. It will also be the 1st time in school history we've lost 4 conference games at home, and 4 straight conference games at home. Maybe Mike really is a record-breaking coach? Who knew...
Yet some still think Mike just needs more time.
