Nebraska head coach Scott Frost met with the media Thursday. Here’s a quick summary of what he had to say on a number of topics:
– Frost said that Nebraska is taking a wait-and-see approach with the quarterbacks. With Luke McCaffrey’s transfer, the Huskers have little experience behind starter Adrian Martinez and could opt to go with either the junior college or transfer route. Frost said the staff wants to see what it has with Logan Smothers, Heinrich Haarberg and others in the group before moving forward.
– Frost said the depth and talent at the skill positions is the best they’ve had since being in Lincoln.
– Omar Manning is in Lincoln, and the former No. 1 junior college wide receiver is working to get healthy.
– Nebraska is close to being able to announce a special teams analyst.
– Defenders Javin Wright and Myles Farmer are on track to be at least limited participants coming off injuries.
