‘We’re not ready to compete with a team like that’: What Scott Frost said after Nebraska’s blowout loss to Michigan
Published:
This is one game Scott Frost is going to want to erase from his memory.
Nebraska dropped to 0-3 on the season after a 56-10 loss to Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor. The Huskers are now 0-1 in the B1G as well.
The Huskers fell into a 20-0 hole in the first quarter, which snowballed into a 39-0 deficit at half. That deficit was the most lopsided halftime score against Nebraska in the “modern history of the program.”
Basically, it was a disaster from start to finish for Nebraska. And Frost didn’t have a lot of positive things to say about the performance. Here’s what the Nebraska head coach said after the Huskers’ blowout loss:
Nebraska's Scott Frost says, "I honestly believe this is going to be the bottom right here," after a 56-10 loss at Michigan.

Frost thinks NU competed, but didn’t execute or win physically.

Frost said he's not worried about losing his team because "the only ones we’ll lose are the ones we never had. …Inevitably that’s going to happen, the wrong type of people are going to jump off. That's healthy for a team."

Frost said Thursday practice wasn’t good. NU missed details then, which didn’t bode well for Saturday. #huskers

Special teams: Frost said same mistakes keep happening, which means, at this point, certain players either can’t do it or won’t, and changes may be coming.
