Here we go again? Nebraska fans uneasy with Scott Frost after blowing double-digit lead in the first half

Through the first 30 minutes of the 2022 college football season, Nebraska has already taken its fans on a wild ride. After busting out of the gates with a hot start, Northwestern has clawed back for the halftime lead.
Early on, it was all quarterback Casey Thompson and the Huskers with Thompson accounting for 2 touchdowns. He dropped in a beautifully placed ball for a touchdown on the opening drive and later punched in a short rushing score for a 14-3 lead.
Unfortunately, there have been issues on both sides of the ball that allowed Northwestern to get back into the game. A fumble by the offense, multiple missed assignments by the defense and missed tackles have allowed the Wildcats to put up 14 unanswered points for a 17-14 lead into the break.
There is still one-half of action to be played so anything can happen, but the first half has provided an eery feeling for fans who witnessed Nebraska in 2021:
Nebraska is 3-20 under Scott Frost when trailing at the half. Down 17-14 to Northwestern in Ireland at the midway point.

Scott Frost you fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Fitzgerald in Ireland when your job is on the line!!' pic.twitter.com/TQlNebrDD0

If Nebraska loses this I think you have to fire Scott Frost before he gets on the plane

Nebraska is 5-20 in one-possession games and 3-20 when trailing at the half under Scott Frost. Looks like we've got another nail-biter coming. pic.twitter.com/m5OdiJh30G
