O-Line, Special Teams Under Scrutiny
Positions on the Huskers' offensive line are getting a close look this week in practice, coach Scott Frost said Monday.
"We're going to give some other people a real shot. ... We've got to find a left guard and we've got to play a little bit better at right tackle," Frost said. "Those are probably a couple of the spots we'll look at."
The O-line has struggled in both the running game and pass protection so far this season. Quarterback Adrian Martinez was sacked seven times in Saturday's overtime loss at Michigan State.
Another major contributor to the defeat in East Lansing got Frost's attention Monday. "I was in a couple meetings today," Frost said. "The special teams meeting was tough. It was rough, but it was honest."
