Steven M. Sipple: Diaco's 'D' could be just what Frost needs; and NU needs Mills in backfield

Nebraska head coach Scott Frost's offense this season moves in fits and starts.

It gained 338 yards of total offense Friday against Iowa. It wasn't always terrible.

It now ranks 89th nationally in average yards per game (368.0) and 107th in scoring (20.6). That's generally terrible.

Bob Diaco to the rescue?

Perhaps Nebraska (1-4) can find more consistency on offense Saturday against a unit led by a defensive coordinator who once upon a time served in that capacity at NU. I often use Diaco as an example of how a school's athletic administration can play a leading role in a football program's demise.
