Huskers Add Size, Athleticism

Scott Frost took offense last season when, at times, he’d look across the field at Nebraska’ Big Ten Conference opponent and see a bigger, stronger football team.

“That,” Frost said, “is not supposed to happen at Nebraska.”

When he played quarterback at Nebraska in 1996 and 1997, the Huskers were always the bigger, more physical, dominant team. Now entering his second season as Nebraska’s head coach, Frost wants that once again.

Some of that Nebraska can accomplish through the weight room with current players, and already has, to an extend. Some it can also accomplish through recruiting, as we saw Wednesday, when Frost and his staff signed seven defensive and offensive linemen on the first day of the early signing period.
