What Scott Frost said as Nebraska prepares for B1G West bout with Minnesota
Published:
Nebraska entered their game with Michigan with an even 3-3 record, and had been playing better each week.
But with a tie score and less than two minutes left to play against the Wolverines, the Huskers had the ball and an opportunity to finish off a drive and win the game. But NU quarterback Adrian Martinez took a 3-and-1 snap and while being stopped short of the first down, had the ball punched loose for a fumble.
While the Huskers put up a good fight, it seems to be the same story of getting close, but coming up short. And the numbers don’t lie, as NU head coach is no 5-16 since he’s taken the helm of the Huskers program.
Frost took to the podium on Monday to give updates, and talk about the approach for Saturday’s B1G West matchup with Minnesota.
Asked about the strength of the Big Ten, Frost said it's very good, and, what's more NU is playing all the best teams in it, too.
"Might as well schedule a scrimmage with Penn State Wednesday." #huskers

Frost says Trev Alberts went around to each NU assistant coach Sunday and told them how proud he was of their work.

Frost said Nouili has "exceeded my expectations" in games. He's been more consistent in games than he was in camp.

Rahmir Johnson started coming on in fall camp, Frost said. Johnson was 5th on the depth chart in spring. He started playing 100% full speed on every play, Frost said, and it made a difference. NU's patience paid off, too. #huskers

Frost: "Teddy's been improving by leaps and bounds since he's been here and he was getting to reap the benefits of that." #huskers

Frost says “our guys have plenty of gas” going into their eighth straight week. He told the group this week that if you want to play in the NFL, you’ll have longer stretches than this to deal with physically and mentally. #Huskers

Nebraska coach Scott Frost says he’s enjoyed Sunday meetings this year with AD Trev Alberts. Alberts also made a point to offer encouragement yesterday in the football office to all of Huskers’ assistants, Frost said. “It’s been nice to have him show support like that.” pic.twitter.com/OYNRNUujI7

Frost really wants a fast start on offense at Minnesota.
The Gophers rank second in the B1G in time of possession at 33:55.6.
