“What you do on a daily basis is what you’re going to be on gameday.”

Asked about his position group’s ball security during camp, quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco earlier this month said, “So far it’s been good. But it doesn’t count in practice. When it counts is during the game.”

Frost expressed frustration last week about the number of penalties his team committed during a scrimmage with Big Ten referees on hand.

“This team needs to understand that they’re good enough to be in every game if we don’t do the things to beat ourselves,” Frost said. “That’s been the thing that we’ve talked to them about the most ever since the end of last season. I hope they get it, think they do, and we’ll keep working on them.”

This week during a radio appearance on “Sports Nightly,” he added that NU has refs at about half its camp practices.

Overall, the tone of camp has been positive. Frost called his fourth team “a really special group” on Thursday night.

The coach also suggested that he feels much better about his team’s kickoff units and about his program’s special teams overall.

Football, of course, is a complementary game. Field position turns from a disadvantage to an advantage quickly if you win the turnover battle, don’t commit penalties and play solid on special teams.
