Nebraska’s Trev Alberts spoke to a couple of local reporters about how the University can be successful with football and had some interesting thoughts.

Alberts explained to both Kaleb Henry and Jack Mitchell that a team like Minnesota is arguably further ahead of Nebraska due to them having elite coaches, resources, and facilities.

“We look at programs in the Big Ten – mainly Minnesota, Purdue, Indiana, others – through the prism of 1992,” Alberts said. “Minnesota’s football program, you could argue, is further along than ours. This is not 1993. It is 2021 where you have elite coaches, elite resources, facilities.”

Alberts then touched on how any team in this conference can bet anyone and the sooner the program realizes that, the better it’ll be.

“Everybody in the Big Ten can beat anybody in the Big Ten every single Saturday and the sooner we understand that and embrace the true reality of parity, almost like the NFL, the better chance we’ll have of creating a process that helps us be successful.”

Last week, Alberts decided to bring back head coach Scott Frost for another year, even though the team has struggled against the top teams in the B1G this year.

Alberts has to be hoping that the mindset that he touched on in this interview carries over into the next season.
