Can The Huskers Respond Better After Purdue Win?

As the Nebraska football team gets ready to host Minnesota on Saturday, some folks are wondering if the Huskers can handle success. 

NU is coming off a 37-27 win at Purdue last Saturday.  But, just a few weeks ago, Nebraska defeated Penn State in a game, only to be upset by Illinois the following Saturday. 

Coach Scott Frost was asked about that yesterday.  “I’ve really seen our habits and a lot of things around the building get better the last couple weeks,” Frost said. “Coming off a win you have to double down on that and do even more of it – make sure you’re focused, focus is good, your practice habits are good, your effort is good and I expect our guys to respond well this week.” 

The Huskers are 2-4 coming into Saturday’s game.  The Gophers are 2-3, but have had their last two games canceled due to COVID-19 issues in the program. 

Kickoff is set for 11 a.m.  Pre-game coverage starts at 6 a.m. on News Talk 900 KJSK.  It will be joined at 10:30 on 93.5 The Hawk.
