Frost says he puts pressure on himself to turn around program, and maybe too much at times | Football



It won’t happen if Nebraska keeps stubbing its toe with penalties and turnovers. Along those lines, Frost said NU’s margin for error isn’t big enough to overcome too many penalties and mistakes in general. He emphasized that point in practice last week. Still, there were too many penalties (nine), he said. There were too many instances when the offense started a possession first-and-15. 

Northwestern shifted personnel up front at times, which caused Nebraska to “get jumpy,” Frost said. 

Even so, it’s about focus and discipline, he said. 

“As an entire football program, we’ve got to get that fixed,” he said. 

He does like Nebraska’s progress on defense. The Huskers are holding their own in the trenches. Linebackers and defensive backs are quicker to the ball, the coach said. He’s seeing fewer busts and loafs. 

Bottom line, the defense played well enough Saturday to win a lot of games, but the offense must improve, especially in the red zone. 

“I think we went out there and played hard,” said Nebraska inside linebacker Collin Miller, a team captain. “We had only one penalty on defense. We’re staying disciplined.” 

Nebraska junior wideout Kade Warner, also a team captain, said it’s critically important that the team continues to believe in itself. He said the receivers group remains confident. He said that sort of belief must expand to the entire team.
