North Dakota vs Nebraska Preview
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are looking to bounce back from their loss in “week zero” in Dublin, Ireland against the Northwestern Wildcats when the North Dakota Fighting Hawks come to Lincoln. The Cornhuskers are heavily favored and North Dakota is coming off a disappointing 5-6 season in 2021-2022.
In his pre-game press conference, Nebraska head coach Scott Frost told the Cornhusker faithful to not give up on this team after the loss to Northwestern. He also acknowledged that the team was just as frustrated as the fans were that they lost in week zero.
“They were frustrated. They were disappointed. But the confidence is there. I think they know what kind of team they have. It’s up to us to go out and prove it,” said Frost. “I didn’t see anything other than motivated kids out there trying to get better in practice. … All you can do is work as hard as you can and do the right things. I think our kids know that, I try to share that with the kids as much as I can. If they have a chip on their shoulder, I think that’s a good thing for us.”
He also said that they were careful coming into this week after traveling to Ireland and back, but he said it didn’t really seem to affect the team that much.
“We were intentional about how we approached this week knowing that we came off an international flight, little disruption to our sleep. Didn’t really show up with the guys, they recover fast and they approached the week
well,” said Frost.
He added later, “Anytime you lose a game, you take a hard look. You want to learn some of those lessons in a win and we weren’t able to this week, but you take a hard look at yourself and ther ewas any one of eight plays on offense and defense and special teams and coaching decisions that would’ve given us a chance to win that game. We’re all trying to fix those things.”
Finally, Frost said that home-field advantage will definitely help them out this week.
“Honestly, as good as the fans show up and support these kids, I don’t think you have to talk to [the team] about it much because they’ll feed off the energy of the crowd. We’re gonna get to be at home for a while here now and we need to make sure we play well when we’re here,” said Frost.
The North Dakota at Nebraska game kicks off Saturday, September 3 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern and the Big Ten Network.
