Maybe just needs a little development.
I'm warming up to Riley more and more. Man was absolute hamstrung at Oregon State, yet he set them up for that 2000 fiesta bowl win under Erickson and has been decent since start of his second term there.

Yeah, everyone keeps saying that Riley is great at developing talent. I look forward to seeing some of that. Perhaps starting with Brown.
That and his teams have been known for aggressive defenses. I think I've had my fill of bend-don't-break defenses. Especially when we give up 56 unanswered points to the freaking Vadgers.
Yesterday on college game play, Jack Arrute and Phil Savage, he made the comment his defense finished 2nd or third in the Pac 12 last year. I did not realize that. Arrute and Savage both felt he was an absolute diamond. He was a Nebraskan in an Oregon wrapper. Thought he would have tremendous results and quickly.

We've been calling it the "Matador Defense" that's when you take a step to the left and shout, "Ole!" as the RB goes past you.Yeah, everyone keeps saying that Riley is great at developing talent. I look forward to seeing some of that. Perhaps starting with Brown.
