For the second straight week, this time armed with the return of their starting quarterback, the Huskers had a chance to run away and hide when the defense started fast, on this day forcing a pair of turnovers and setting up the offense in prime position repeatedly.

“I’ve been in a lot of games at Nebraska already where if we make one more play, we win the game and one more play right there (wins the game),” Frost said afterward.
