Rapid Reaction: Frost seeks more efficiency on offense; competition at QB; updates on Oliver Martin, Omar Manning | Football



Nebraska will host Illinois at 11 a.m. Saturday. Like the Huskers, Illinois is coming off a victory (23-20 over Rutgers).

* Frost was asked about the team moving to the west sideline. With no fans in the stands, Frost said it was a move to help better protect the team’s signals from the sidelines.

* Frost’s evaluation on McCaffrey’s left-handed throw to Marvin Scott in the second quarter Saturday: “I’m OK with it because it worked. You just have to know when to do those things and when not to and be smart with the football.”

* McCaffrey, who made his first start at QB against Penn State, said his focus against Illinois will be playing a cleaner game. “Being able to just crisp it up a little bit more,” he said.

* Sophomore center Cam Jurgens said he didn’t snap the ball well against Penn State, adding he needs to pay more attention and not get too hyped.

* Yes, Saturday’s 91-play output by the Husker defense was exhausting. “I can tell you this: Right after the game I went home and laid down and I don’t even remember closing my eyes,” Nebraska freshman defensive end Ty Robinson said.

* Despite a 1-2 record, Robinson said he sees vast improvement on the defensive side of the ball. “I just feel like the chemistry of the defense in general has gained since last season,” he said.
