Nebraska football is an unnatural disaster. An oil spill, a bridge collapse, an industrial explosion, that old black-and-white video of two trains colliding — this is what has come to represent what was once one of the proudest programs in the Bowl Subdivision.
While the program's irrelevance predates coach Scott Frost, the decline has escalated wildly under the Cornhuskers' former quarterback.
After losing 31-28 to Northwestern in the season opener, Frost's record at Nebraska now stands at 15-30. Of those losses, 21 have come by a one-score difference. His comments last week about offensive linemen throwing up "15 to 20" times during practice had to have been met with shrugged shoulders by a disheartened fan base, which must feel the urge to upchuck at least that many times every fall Saturday.
