They're always saying laughter is medicine, and so Mike Riley allowed himself to do just that when someone mentioned he had brought up the Hail Mary against BYU on two separate occasions already during Monday's news conference.
More specifically, Riley was asked how different he thinks this Husker season might be if Nebraska had just batted that final pass down. Go John Lennon and imagine positive vibes and hip-hip-hoorays from the beginning.
"Oh, man, that is an interesting question and I don't want to go there, because we didn't win and everything has to go forward," Riley said with a laugh.
