2015 brought the Nebraska Football faithful more sorrow than joy, in the first season of the Mike Riley era. Heartbreaking losses became the norm for a program that once seemed allergic to it.
During the season, some fans were thinking that it could only get worse before it gets better, while others believed it was karma for firing Bo Pelini following the previous season after he strung together several consecutive nine-win seasons at the helm.
A state that once came together in unison year after year to cheer on the boys’ in red and white now seemed divided.
