Last Saturday, Mike Devaney, the 74-year-old son of the late Bob Devaney, stood inside the Ndamukong Suh Strength and Conditioning Complex to hear Mike Riley describe Nebraska’s gutty comeback win over Oregon, 35-32.

A week earlier, after watching the Huskers explode for 28 points in the fourth quarter to flatten Wyoming, Devaney attended the postgame press conference that involved the only two college football teams his dad ever served as head coach. It was a riveting moment and Mike Devaney choked up watching his beloved Huskers celebrate.
