LINCOLN — Nebraska football coach Scott Frost is still in talking points mode as the Huskers prepare to begin his first spring practice next Friday. Frost appeared Wednesday night on Sports Nightly to take calls and touched on a variety of topics, including the quarterback race that's likely to dominate conversation over the next two months.
Patrick O'Brien, Tristan Gebbia and Adrian Martinez are the candidates. Frost has a blank slate for all three.
“Everybody’s going to get a fair shake," Frost said. Though fans may generally believe that a quarterback has to be a speedy runner — the coach joked about Johnny Rodgers and Mike Rozier — to operate Frost's system, he's not necessarily looking for that, just a guy who, when the yards are there, can get them.
