Nebraska football held its final full-fledged practice in Dublin on Thursday, and Scott Frost said afterward that he has "a confident team, a close-knit team" that's "dialed in and ready to play" Saturday against Northwestern.

"Pretty much the hay is in the barn," Frost said. "I think we’re ready."

He said the team has handled the trip to Ireland well. "They're doing a good job of enjoying it when they need to enjoy it and focusing when they need to focus, which is a sign of maturity. We've had a really good time."

The team will do some sightseeing Thursday and then go through a walk-through session Friday with no media access afterward. Saturday's game kicks off at 11:30 a.m. CDT (5:30 p.m. Dublin time) on FOX.
