Frost remembers his spring games as a player; now he'll take in his first as Nebraska's coach

The guy with one of the sharpest minds in college football doesn't forget a lot, even how the three spring games he played in 20-some years ago in Lincoln went.

Maybe he'll look out over the field Saturday and think back to when he put the pads on himself.

In 1996, going against a particularly nasty defense that would go on to finish the season ranked No. 7 in the country, Frost was harried into a 4-for-14 passing day while rushing for 50 yards. The game, played just two days after Berringer was killed in a plane crash, began with an emotional video tribute to the quarterback and ended with Frost's Red team winning 20-17.
