As of now, it looks like the defense will have to lead the way.
“We made a few mistakes on defense, and occasionally that led to a long run when somebody fit a gap wrong,” Frost says. “But there just wasn’t too much of that on defense, particularly late in the year.”
Chinander’s crew certainly deserves a pat on the back. But let’s not go overboard.
* It sounds like Frost in the future may dial back his own discussion about young and/or unproven players in his program, especially true freshmen.
Seems like the best tact to take — and while we’re at it, get off my lawn.
At any rate, Frost was asked if he’s been spending time thinking of ways to get the ball to heralded tight end Thomas Fidone of Council Bluffs, Iowa, arguably the top prize in Nebraska’s 2021 recruiting class.
“I’m excited about Thomas,” said Frost, quickly adding, “I’ve said to you guys (media) before, I now understand why coach (Tom) Osborne would only say, ‘I think he’s a pretty good player.'”
Osborne, the former Nebraska head coach who won three national championships, rarely had much to say about unproven players. He let the fans handle the hype.
“The hype machine around here has transfer quarterbacks winning Heisman Trophies, and Frankie London is the next Tommie Frazier, and Jeff Perino is the next Brook Berringer before they’ve even taken a snap,” said Frost, alluding to the 1990s.
