“We’ll see how this year goes, but people better get us now because we’re going to get better.”
Fans read this quote and assumed it meant that the Huskers were headed toward 6-6 or 7-5 and a return to a bowl game before breaking out huge in 2019.
Wrong.
As it turns out, Coach Frost came to Lincoln with a plan more diabolical, if at its end victorious, than they could have imagined. People use the phrase that “things are always darkest before the dawn” but they had no idea the 4-8 mark from Mike Riley’s 2017 shitstain of a season wasn’t dark enough for this new Husker Head Coach, not by a long shot.
