It's easy for Nebraska football fans to feel good about Scott Frost's program. It's easy for them to believe. Yes, fans of all kinds in this crazy world can convince themselves their favorite team is on the right path. But for Husker football fans -- by the way, there were 85,946 of them on hand for the Red-White Spring Game -- it doesn't have to be a chore to convince themselves. It doesn't have to feel contrived anymore.
The vibe in the big stadium on this day was pleasant, excited, hopeful and even realistic. Nobody's saying Nebraska's ready to run roughshod in the Big Ten.
