2018 Big Ten Media Days
Nebraska’s Scott Frost was the first coach to take the podium and field questions about his team at the 2018 Big Ten Football Media Days in Chicago. The first-year Husker head coach said he expects the program to contend for a division championship by 2019, and he said he hopes to have a starting quarterback determined no later than “a week or so” before the season opener against Akron. Also representing the Huskers at the event were offensive guard Jerald Foster, wide receiver Stanley Morgan and nose tackle Mick Stoltenberg. Frost transcript: HTML, PDF
