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."

Spielman coming back would be huge
It's pretty clear the Cornhuskers very much missed JD Spielman on Saturday against Michigan State. Him being back and "full-go" would be huge for the Iowa game.
Frost said Nebraska is working on JD Spielman, feels good about Him returning, but wouldn’t confirm he’ll go. #huskers

Supreme confidence
Tanner Farmer isn't the only player who has talked about how confident they are heading into the Iowa game. It's great to see this level of confidence any time.
Tanner Farmer: "Nothing needs to be said. We're all ready to go."

Putting the past, in the past
Luke Gifford has the right idea about the Nebraska football team. This is a very different squad, even if they might finish with the same record as the 2017 squad.
We've talked to Luke Gifford and Tanner Farmer so far this morning.

When it comes to getting the team ready to go for Iowa, "nothing needs to be said."
Gifford said he hasn't watched the 2017 tape and doesn't plan to. Farmer says they're going to play nasty. #Huskers
