It wouldn’t be a Saturday during the college football season without Nebraska losing by a possession.
It happened again against Purdue as the Cornhuskers made it 28-23 with just a couple of minutes to go, but couldn’t recover the onside kick.
The loss dropped Nebraska to 3-6 on the season as the team will have to win out just to be bowl eligible this season.
With that in mind, here’s what head coach Scott Frost said to the media after the game.

Frost said he let Martinez “hear about it” on just one play: The third down scramble that came up a yard short. Said Martinez – and other players – have to be more of a “nut cutter” and do whatever necessary to make a play. #huskers

Scott Frost says a potential QB change is “not a story” they’re going to go with the best guy who gives them a chance to win: “Right now, it’s Adrian” #Huskers

Scott Frost sounded more like a coach today who doesn’t know how to fix Nebraska’s trouble than at any point in his four years.
He left the locker room after gathering the team to allow the captains to talk after this loss.
“Magic speeches aren’t going to change this,” he said.
