Wednesday notebook: Bowl game or not, NU won't take December lightly
***Head coach Scott Frost said “we’ve got our fingers crossed” regarding the injury status of receiver J.D. Spielman. It’s still unclear if the sophomore will be able to play through an ankle/foot injury at Iowa, but Frost said, “if there is any possible way he’ll be out there, he’ll be out there.”
***Despite a short week of preparation and the team playing its 12th straight game, Frost said Nebraska again had a great week of practice this week. Frost said they held a walk-through session on Sunday night to get a jump on the gameplan install, the past three days were all strong efforts.
***Frost said football was a lot like life in that regard where “it’s a lot more fun” to come to work at practice when things are going well and “you do things the right way.” He said it was “easy to coach this team right now” with how dialed in they’ve been.
***Nebraska technically isn’t officially eliminated from bowl contention yet, but assuming Friday is the last game of the season, Frost said the players would get a week off next week and then would go through a week of pre-winter conditioning workouts before going home for Christmas break.
Frost said the Huskers were a bit behind last winter when his staff took over after basically being off for an entire month, so they want to make sure the players don’t get too rusty before the start of winter workouts.
***Frost said the Huskers had a team Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday night catered by Hy-Vee, and after Wednesday’s practice the players would visit kids in the hospital.
He said that was a tradition from previous staffs he definitely wanted to continue because he feels it’s so important for the players to see how big of role models they are in the community and why they need to give back as much as possible.
