Scott Frost says 'whole attitude is turning a corner' at Nebraska
The first six weeks of the season have been frustrating for Scott Frost. While the 0-5 record would seem to be a reasonable explanation behind that, it’s really been the lack of discipline and attitude that has upset the Nebraska head coach the most.
Frost hasn’t been afraid to express his frustration. He’s said that the Huskers are “the most undisciplined team in the country,” and said that some of his players “look like they love losing.” He hasn’t minced his words this season.
But after Week 6, Frost seems to believe his team his turning a corner, at least from a mentality standpoint. Though Nebraska remains winless, it sounds like he likes what he’s seen over the last few weeks.
According to Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald, Frost said the “whole attitude” of the program has turned a corner. He continued by saying the Huskers are getting rid of “culture killers” and flipping to “culture keepers.”

Earlier this season, Frost said that he had trouble with some players buying into the program. Offensive lineman Tanner Farmer reiterated that sentiment in an epic speech a few days later.
Some Nebraska players have decided to transfer, most recently receiver Tyjon Lindsey and running back Greg Bell. While those are blows to the offense, it sounds as if Frost hasn’t been bothered by the departures.
Frost has talked about culture since the start of the season. He’s also made it well-known that success doesn’t happen immediately and that it may take some time before the Huskers are back in the national spotlight.
Seeing some attitude changes at this point in the season is a good sign for Nebraska, though. Especially if it’s coming even after an 0-5 start.
