Nebraska head football coach Mike Riley has lost his last seven matchups versus the Oregon Ducks. You have to go all the way back to 2007 when the ducks, led by a young Jonathan Stewart (now entering his 9th NFL season), were beat by Riley. The Beavers allowed an average of 578 yards and 45.6 points per game in those seven losses to Oregon. But the stage will be quite different Saturday when the ducks have to travel across the country to face a Riley-led Nebraska team that has looked quite solid so far this season.
With two dominant performances over Fresno State and Wyoming, Riley should have great optimism that his losing streak could come to an end this Saturday.
