Steven M. Sipple: Finally, Husker fans see Frost’s team hit on all cylinders, but will it last? | Football



Left tackle Teddy Prochazka, a true freshman from Elkhorn, made his first start and looked excellent.  

Speaking of excellence, Nebraska’s defense held Northwestern to 293 yards of total offense, including just 37 on the ground (on 26 carries). Frost, though, told the BTN sideline reporter Elise Menaker at halftime that the Blackshirts let up after the Huskers bolted to a 21-0 lead. 

Well, Northwestern did go on a seven-play, 82-yard touchdown drive late in the first quarter.

“I’m gonna get after them a little at halftime,” Frost told Menaker.

Again, a good response by the coach. He knows this team has more in it. It’ll need more against Michigan. It may even need a few booming punts.

How about that 84-yarder in the third quarter? What a night for the home team.

Frost expressed proper respect for Northwestern, defending champion of the Big Ten West. 

“It was our night, not theirs,” he said. 

That’s for sure. Nebraska seems ready for a surge. We’ll see. But, no doubt, this was a good first step — a remarkable one, in some ways. 

That said, let’s follow Frost’s lead and keep the hype at a minimum, until further notice.
