Scott Frost speaks to media before leaving for Ireland
Nebraska head coach Scott Frost spoke to the media one final time before leaving for the season opener in Dublin. The Saturday afternoon press availability gave Frost the chance to talk about the current attitude of the team, plans while in Ireland, and clarify comments made earlier in the week regarding the health and safety of the offensive line during training.
The Huskers continue to prepare for their 2022 season opener against the Northwestern Wildcats in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, at Aviva Stadium on Saturday, August 27th. Nebraska was initially scheduled to play in Dublin last season in Week 0 against the Illinois Fighting Illini. However, the Huskers will officially leave for Dublin on Monday afternoon.
Stay tuned to Cornhuskers Wire, as we’ll have coverage of all the news and notes leading up to the kickoff from Dublin, Ireland. The start of the season is just days away. Kickoff is at 11:30 am.

Frost said he wanted to highlight how hard the O-line was working during his Thursday radio comments, and might have exaggerated the puking comment a bit. Said the staff monitors guys very closely to make sure things are being done the right way.

Frost said Blackshirts will be handed out at first practice in Ireland. Only reason they aren't out yet is they had to be loaded up for the trip.

Frost on his OL comments earlier this week: "Our training staff and weight staff of keeping me abreast of everything going on in practice."
Says he "might have exaggerated a little bit" on how often the OLs were vomiting. #huskers

Frost singles out Trey Palmer and Marcus Washington for the confidence they’ve helped infuse on the offensive side at Nebraska. Huskers have lacked some of that after losing a lot of close games.

Whipple likes being on the sidelines to call plays. That's where he will be.
