What Scott Frost said after Nebraska’s loss to Ohio State
Published:
For Scott Frost’s Nebraska squad, winning its season opener on the road at defending Big Ten champion Ohio State was a nearly impossible task.
That became evident as the Buckeyes’ offense proved to be too much as Ohio State defeated the Huskers 52-17 on Saturday.
Things started well for Nebraska as Adrian Martinez kicked things off with a 10-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0.
From there, however, the Huskers were outscored 52-10. Nebraska was plagued by a slow offense and a defense that lost two players due to targeting penalties in the second half.
Despite the final score being lopsided, those in Lincoln feel better about this performance than what happened last season when Ohio State came in and blew out Nebraska on its home turf, 48-7.
Here’s what Frost had to say following his team’s loss.
Frost said his WRs played well, followed gameplan. Added NU's pass game has to push the ball downfield better, but it's one game, against the "hardest challenge" in the league. #Huskers

Nebraska coach Scott Frost: “We hung in with them a lot better than we did last year physically.”
Lots of problems were self-inflicted, he said.

Frost said he thought Deontai Williams' targeting penalty was a hit to the chest, but also reiterated that was just his view live. Called CTB's, "not violent, but a dumb play."

Scott Frost: "I thought we did a lot of good things and unfortunately some of the things that led to the game getting out of hand were self-inflicted." #Huskers
