PROJECTED 2015 RECORD: 9-4

CIRCLE THE DATE: Sept. 19 at Miami

WHY NO. 32: Grumpy didn’t work. So, one of the top programs in college football history is going to try “Nice.” By all accounts, Riley is one of the best guys in college football. Riley will try to turn quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. into more of a thrower than a runner. Nebraska will miss Ameer Abdullah, but there is still plenty of talent in the backfield. Riley inherits a potential star in receiver/returner De’Mornay Pierson-El.
