He doesn't like to say this: "guys who quit on the play," the OU QB's 61-yard run on 3rd and long that turned the game, but he did say it and he said it one other week this season "for the most part" Nebraska's guys gave full effort. That has been a constant throughout the Frost+era. These Nebraska players just don't give full effort on plays in every game. The "quit" on plays. Some, at the beginning of Frost's tenure quit period and transferred. You have to have players who care; you have to have a coach who will take names and kick ass when guys don't give full effort. No getting back to Nebraska football is going to cure that.
It takes its toll, the losing, the overkill of hope. Even Sam, good-naturedly, says he needs a bye (not bike) week. It's all sad, it sad all the way down.
