Nebraska coach Scott Frost accepted responsibility for a controversial onside kick decision in Saturday's season-opening loss to Northwestern while acknowledging he needs to do more to retain his job.
Frost made the call to attempt an onside kick with Nebraska leading 28-17 midway through the third quarter in a game being played in Dublin. Northwestern easily recovered the kick at the Nebraska 44-yard line and scored five plays later. The Wildcats outscored Nebraska 14-0 in the final 24:37 to win 31-28 at Aviva Stadium.
Nebraska became the first major-conference team in the AP Poll era, which goes back to 1936, to lose seven straight games by single digits, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
