Big Ten Network veteran analyst Gerry DiNardo had a different sort of reaction when he first saw Nebraska's offense line up in an I-formation late in the first quarter against Ohio State last week.
Nebraska second-year head coach Scott Frost made a name in his profession based largely on his up-tempo spread system. Make no mistake, the I-formation wrinkle is quite a departure. But the wrinkle, which Frost unveiled for the first time this season, could energize the Huskers (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) as they enter the thick of Big Ten play.
