As if Scott Frost’s seat could have been hotter, the Nebraska football coach just lost to the Northwestern Wildcats overseas in Dublin in Week 0…
Another Week 0 in the books, Season 0-1 begins another in the Big Ten playing for Nebraska football coach Scott Frost.
Northwestern was the only team that had defeated the Cornhuskers in the conference a year earlier. Well guess what? That’s no longer the case, because it’s my husband’s year in Evanston, which means good things for Pat Fitzgerald’s cats. As for Nebraska fans, let’s hope you grabbed some of those free beer or gin and tonics they were handing out at Aviva Stadium after the internet went out but before you lost.
Instead of presenting problems and not offering solutions, let’s save Frost from himself, okay?
What would it take for Scott Frost to save his Nebraska football leadership job?
3. Play Logan Smothers on Casey Thompson so why the hell not?!
While Casey Thompson moved on from another losing program in Texas this off season, the results are pretty much the same. He threw picks on his Cornhuskers debut and was beaten by Ryan Hilinski when it mattered most. I don’t say start Backup Muscle Shoals Dynamo Logan Smothers It will solve this mess, but it will be entertaining.
2. Never kick a soccer ball again, you idiot!
For the remainder of the season, Nebraska lost all lateral kick-taking perks. After Anthony Grant hit dirt a second time in the afternoon, Nebraska got Tommy Frazier in a cocky neck and decided to try sneaking through the Northwest Special Teams unit. It didn’t work out, Nebraska wouldn’t score a single point for the rest of the game, and lost 31-28.
1. Tell Mark Whipple to run the damn ball some more, please
On his Nebraska debut, offensive coordinator Mark Whipple was thrown under a bus at the podium immediately by Frost who appeared against a wall. Whipple is not known for pounding rocks. Nebraska edged out 214 to 111 on the ground by Northwestern. If not for Grant’s amazing day (19 runs for 101 yards and two landings), the Cornhuskers would have had none.
In the end, the only way Frost will keep his job is if he doesn’t lose to Indiana and Rutgers in the first two weeks of October. You must defeat Nebraska, North Dakota and South Georgia to reach 2-1 before a certain defeat at home against the old Big Eight opponent in Oklahoma. But even after the Rutgers game, Is any game left in the table besides Illinois at home, all that can be won for Nebraska?
6-6 would probably be a sign that Frost is keeping his job, but that now appears to be over.
