NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- No sense mincing words.

When you have 15 minutes with the Nebraska athletic director, it's best to cut to the chase.

Shawn Eichorst, the fourth-year Husker A.D., took time Wednesday for a Q&A as the NU football team practiced for Friday's Music City Bowl against Tennessee.

He clearly was upbeat about Mike Riley's program, while understanding there were a couple rough losses this season.

Eichorst leaned back on a metal bench and gave us his thoughts, including a few at the end of the discussion about Nebraska men's basketball coach Tim Miles and the direction of his program.
