Steven M. Sipple: Moos mindful of Frost's challenging period: 'You can tell Scott's hurting'

Bill Moos has had Scott Frost on his mind quite a bit lately.

Frost's father died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. Moos understands Frost's pain, having lost his father, Don Moos, in 2014. Moos was extremely close to his dad. They were hunting partners, fishing partners. It tore Moos up to watch his mentor fade into the sunset at age 90.

So, yeah, the Nebraska athletic director has a decent idea how his head football coach is feeling.

"It's tough on him," Moos said Thursday. "All of this is tough."

The 45-year-old Frost leads his team during a godawful pandemic, doing so with a heavy heart.
