LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Mike Riley agrees with his new school’s fight song, which says there is no place like Nebraska.

When he came out of the tunnel Saturday, there were 76,881 fans waiting to watch his first Red-White Game as the Cornhuskers’ coach.

Riley says he’s been in great football environments, but never one like that for a spring game.

The Red squad was stacked with most of the experienced players and outscored the White 24-15 in front of the second-largest crowd for a spring game at Nebraska. The school record of 80,149 was set in 2008 for Bo Pelini’s first spring game.

Riley alternated sidelines and was with the Red team as time ran out. Players doused him with Gatorade.
