More Ones-vs.-Ones Work in Store for Huskers
Nebraska football head coach Scott Frost says the Huskers' run defense has given up too many big plays. To help solve that, there will be more ones-vs.-ones work in practice this week.
"Too many have creased," Frost said of opponents' runs. "The defense needs to see those plays being run at the speed that the 1 offense can give them."
Frost's comments came during the Huskers' weekly press conference Monday after the team held its first practice for Saturday's game against Georgia Southern.
Anthony Grant's 189-yard rushing performance against North Dakota two days ago earned him Big Ten co-offensive player-of-the-week honors, and Frost also was impressed.
"Anthony's patience was really good on a couple of his runs," Frost said. "Not just blindly running up in there, but watching for blocks to develop." He added that "everybody that got a chance was really good" at running back.
Nebraska had most of its success Saturday against North Dakota in the second half, ringing up 31 points after scoring just seven in the first 30 minutes. Frost said offensive coordinator Mark Whipple "did a great job in that second half — the whole staff did."
