Nebraska football is just eight days away from their season opener. That made Friday's press conference a bit more intriguing than previous ones that have taken place in fall camp. Huskers' coach shed some light on his thinking as we barrel towards one of the most anticipated seasons in the last few decades.
The black alternate uniforms are going to be used a lot
While alternate uniforms, like the one rolled out last week, tend to be "one and done," Frost made it clear that's not the case with these. During his press conference, he said he'd like to have black home and away jerseys. He added that he'd like to use them as a reward for a good defensive performance the week before. He said he'd like to do this starting next year.

Cam Jurgens is the starting center
At least for now, the Nebraska football team has found it's starting center. The redshirt freshman from Beatrice has beaten out Will Farniok.
Scott Frost says he expects Cam Jurgens to be the No. 1 center on the depth chart. Says Will Farniok has a "bright future" but Jurgens is a "game changer." #huskers
