Steven M. Sipple: Frost's vision is modern version of Husker powerhouse teams of old

We spoke Thursday in his office. I wanted to get a feel for the first-year Nebraska football coach's mindset in regard to goals, and what he feels he's chasing.

Of course, Ohio State is the gold standard in the Big Ten. I mean, the Buckeyes are a ridiculous 47-3 in league play under Urban Meyer.

These are fascinating times in Big Red land. A tug-of-war of sorts is particularly compelling. On one side is Nebraska fans' utter joy that accompanied Frost's hiring. On the other end is the sobering realization that Frost inherited a daunting challenge. After all, the Big Ten is a bear.
