Frost says Washington has made a dozen 'spectacular' plays so far in Husker camp

The Maurice Washington hype train is rolling downhill and it’s unclear when the brakes will be tested.

The latest in a long line of Nebraska football folks to praise the freshman running back: The head coach himself.

“We’re glad to have Mo. He had a long road to get here,” Frost said Friday morning after NU’s seventh preseason camp practice. “But he’s had probably a dozen big plays, spectacular plays already in this camp.

Washington only arrived on campus from San Jose, California on Aug. 2 and joined the Huskers on the field for the first time two days later, so by Frost’s count, he’s averaging at least a couple of big plays per day.
