Nebraska football coach Scott Frost wasn't smiling Saturday afternoon, a day that took a cruel turn for the Huskers. Frost wore a look of pain. His program is in a hole. He didn't put it there. He's only coached two games at NU. But he's in the hole nonetheless. Here's hoping he retains a sense of humor, even in the wake of a dispiriting 24-19 loss to Troy, the Huskers' sixth straight loss at Memorial Stadium and sixth straight overall.
Nebraska, 0-2 to start a season for the first time since 1957, fell for the eighth time in its last nine games dating to last season and is staring down the barrel of a trip to Michigan next week.
