Woeful seasons at Oregon State, Nebraska point to Mike Riley's mismanagement

Nebraska coach Mike Riley discusses the challenges facing the Cornhuskers as the team prepares to face undefeated Michigan State.

Oregon State, Mike Riley's old team, is 0-5 in Pac-12 play, and odds are the Beavers will go winless in their final four conference matchups and finish 2-10.

Nebraska, Mike Riley's new team, is 1-4 in the Big Ten and 3-6 overall. This is the first time in the Cornhuskers' history they've had six losses by the end of October, and they still have to play No. 7 Michigan State and No. 9 Iowa.

The Beavers went 5-7 in Riley's final year in Corvallis, their third losing record in five seasons.
