Getting ready for the Nebraska football game against Iowa, the Huskers players and coaches talked about the rivalry as well as last week's game and the season as a whole. Some of those comments were quite enlightening.
Bulletin board material?
Huskers' head coach Scott Frost is clearly joking around here but the new coach calling Iowa's long serving head man "old' is gonna raise some eyebrows. Even if it doesn't mean anything in the game, that was a shot across the bow done in a funny way.
Frost likes Ferentz. Says he's one of the good guys in the business. Frost joked, "His sustained success is impressive, but you still don't get to 150 (wins) unless you're a little bit old. I'll make sure and remind of him of that when I see him."

Flipping the Nebraska football narrative
When teams recruit against the Huskers, they tend to do it by talking about the cold weather. It's great to hear that these recruits cared less about the cold than they did seeing snow. The narrative that all the Huskers strengths are on offense being proven wrong helped too.
Frost on the big recruiting weekend: "We were kind of lucky. A lot of the guys we had in town, we see as defensive players, and we won a game on defense. Some of them had seen snow, but had never seen snow falling from the sky. So I think they enjoyed it."
