Scott Frost actually sold the idea fairly well Wednesday that there will be a genuine quarterback competition during Nebraska's spring practice season.
May the best man win, he told reporters.
He didn't say, "May the best man named Casey Thompson win," but we would've understood if he had chosen that route.
The popular narrative in Nebraska's fan base — in fact, the correct narrative — is Nebraska plucked Thompson out of the transfer portal to replace Adrian Martinez as Nebraska's starting quarterback for 2022 as Frost tries to save his job as head coach.
