Steven M. Sipple: Frost can prove Cowherd wrong about NU job; and Moos stiff-arms a subject

Colin Cowherd pays close attention to Nebraska football.

Can Scott Frost prove Cowherd wrong on his opinion about the Husker program?

Cowherd, the entertaining Fox sports commentator, told his audience last week that the Nebraska football program has fallen to a "C"-level job. His remarks were in response to a CBS Sports columnist's irresponsibly misguided opinion that Frost is on the "hot seat" at NU. Cowherd properly dismissed the notion. But in doing so, he pointed out that the Husker job has become much more difficult in recent years. It's hard to argue with him.

Nebraska fans perhaps can be too dismissive of a basic statistic: From 1969 until 1997, the Huskers never lost more than three games.
