There exists at least one key statistic for Nebraska football fans to keep in mind this week.
Third-year Husker head coach Scott Frost is 3-9 at NU in games decided by a touchdown or less. In two games against Northwestern -- this week's opponent -- Frost has a three-point victory and a three-point loss.
This sets up to be another close game.
Along those lines, Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos had an interesting conversation with Frost late last week.
They talked football, specifically about Northwestern.
Moos' respect for the Wildcats is evident.
"They're an awfully tough team, and they're going to be tough on the road," said Moos, referring to the Huskers' 11 a.
