As Scott Frost addressed media Aug. 27 during his weekly news conference, the hot topic was quarterback Tristan Gebbia.
The first-year Nebraska head coach said he hoped Gebbia would remain with the program even though the redshirt freshman skipped practice that morning after losing the race for the starting job to true freshman Adrian Martinez.
"We want guys who want to be here," Frost said. "Hopefully everything lands in a good position. I think that's to be determined ..."
It's since been determined that Frost is in a challenging situation. Gebbia transferred to Oregon State after blindsiding Frost and Nebraska quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco with his decision to bolt town.
