LINCOLN — It started with a few cheers, but the applause grew as Nebraska coach Scott Frost briskly walked off the field after his first spring game.
As he bounded toward the northwest tunnel of Memorial Stadium, many Husker fans stood and clapped. The cheers got louder. Frost tipped the bill of his cap. Louder. He gave a thumbs up. Louder. A one-hand wave. Louder. Finally, just as he disappeared into the tunnel, Frost put up both hands in a wave. Louder still.
The star of the Red team’s 49-9 win over the White team didn’t play or call one snap of the game.
