'He believed in me': Omar Manning appreciative of Scott Frost after catching TD pass vs. Oklahoma

Nebraska is coming off a loss to No.4 Oklahoma in the renewed rivalry where the final score was 23-16.

In a game where many people thought the Huskers would be outmatched, they hung tough with one of their bitter rivals in the 5oth anniversary of the Game of the Century.

One player for the Huskers has finally started to make his mark for the team. WR Omar Manning.

Omar Manning was the no.1 JUCO WR coming out of the 2020 class No.2 in the nation and No.1 in the state of Texas, according to 247sports Composite Rankings.

Manning against OU had 2 receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown catch in the loss to the Sooners.

Here is what Manning had to say when he made the TD grab for the Huskers:

“When I made that (TD) catch, I thought about him because he’s a great coach,” Omar Manning said of Frost, appreciating the patience the staff had as he dealt with some personal things. “He believed in me.”
