Red Report: Huskers have ‘decision to make’ at kicker; Frost expects ‘high-character’ team to bounce back | Football



“They’ve prepared well all year. This is a high-character team. I love their approach to everything and they’ve done a good job again with that this week.”



Nebraska head football coach Scott Frost speaks after practice on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021.







Opportunity knocks: Farmer has played in a rotation at safety all year, but this will be his first start since November 2020 when he stepped in for a half due to a targeting suspension and logged two first-half interceptions. Frost said he’s got confidence in not only the redshirt freshman, but others, too.

“I wouldn’t say it’s how far they’ve come in a few weeks, I’d say it’s how far they’ve come in a few years,” Frost said of the next wave. “They’re good players. Myles Farmer is a good player. Noa Pola-Gates is a good player. Marques Buford is coming along.

“So there’s options here and those guys are getting their opportunity and they need to step up.”

RB picture: Frost reiterated that redshirt freshman running back Rahmir Johnson is “ready to go” against the Boilermakers this weekend.

Running backs coach Ryan Held spoke at length earlier in the week about the fact that NU hasn’t been able to pin down a reliable No. 2 behind Johnson. The main options are freshmen Jaquez Yant and Sevion Morrison and sophomore Markese Stepp.

“Rahmir is ready to go, so we’ll kind of play it by ear after that,” Frost said. “Usually we’re going to go with the hot hand or who practiced the best.”
