Steven M. Sipple: Forget excuses, NU squanders prime opportunity to take giant step forward

The Nebraska sophomore quarterback sure as hell didn't want to make excuses about anything in the wake of Colorado's 34-31 overtime victory before a sellout crowd of 52,829 at Folsom Field, about 60% of which was clad in red and white.

"I've only been a part of a couple losses that are tougher than this," said Frost, whose team led 17-0 at halftime and 24-14 early in the fourth quarter.

As he ponders the setback, he'll perhaps feel a degree of confusion. In the first half, Nebraska played with a hard edge. NU outgained Colorado 266-84.
