OTE's Nebraska writer wants to convince you that Mike Reilly will get it done in season 1:

You can see that there are obviously a lot of question marks, but in a B1G West that is about as wide open as any divisional race this year, there is also opportunity. Mike Riley had a mediocre record at a school where that all but guaranteed him the next year's contract. With better resources, players, and fan support, can he take Nebraska from a good record to a great one? The Husker faithful are hoping so, but we won't find out until they play the games. At the very least, know that this will be an interesting season for Nebraska. It will also be a prime opportunity to watch fan meltdowns.
