Frustrated but ‘determined,’ Huskers tasked with pushing forward during ‘broken, messed-up year’ | Football



“I think we’ve had that (chip on our shoulder) coming into this season and we continue to have that chip and just a determined mentality,” the two-time captain said. “I feel really good about where our heads are at this week.”

Frost in 17 minutes of taking questions said the phrase “want to play” or some version in regards to his players more than a dozen times. He couldn’t help but laugh when told that Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald on Monday called it a “huge advantage” that the Huskers were able to get a jump on game planning and getting healthy instead of playing.

“They had a week off. They obviously had a chance to watch us play,” Fitzgerald said. “We were in a four-quarter war. It’s a huge advantage for them. I know they would much rather have played last week.”

Said Frost, “Maybe if this was Week 7 or 8, having a week off would be nice, but we’ve only played one game. I don’t know, Pat’s one of the smartest guys in the country, probably, but I don’t know if I agree with him on that one.”

Nebraska won’t have a normal week of preparation anyhow because Tuesday is a designated off day for the election. So the Huskers practiced Saturday, were off Sunday, practiced Monday, are off Tuesday and then have a normal Wednesday through Friday before getting on the plane to Chicago.
