Eichorst expresses confidence in Husker football program

Going against his protocol on commenting on programs while in-season, Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst on Monday re-established his support for the Husker football program.

In a letter published on Huskers.com, Eichorst said he is confident in first-year coach Mike Riley and his staff.

Dear Husker Family,

Good morning.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to every Husker fan who has come to Memorial Stadium this season to cheer on the Big Red; who has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to proudly wear the red and white in visiting stadiums; and who has passionately supported our student-athletes, our head coach, our assistant coaches and staff.
