Scott Frost was trying to ease tensions with the fanbase on Tuesday. He made a joke about losing 1-possession games per Kaleb Henry of KLIN Radio.

Nebraska’s upcoming opponent North Dakota has also had trouble in close games. Frost quickly made a self-deprecating joke about the Huskers record in those situations.

“They lost a lot of close games,” said Frost. “I don’t know how anybody does that.”

Frost is now 5-21 in 1-possession games after losing to Northwestern in Ireland. The fans weren’t too forgiving after Frost’s decision to take an onside kick in the 3rd quarter changed the momentum in that game. A couple of wins against North Dakota and Georgia Southern may be enough to smooth things over before the game against Oklahoma.

The Huskers will get another shot at a B1G opponent on Oct. 1 when they take on Indiana. Maybe he won’t need to make another joke like this after that game.

Nebraska plays North Dakota Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on BTN.
