In his final meeting with the media before Saturday’s Nebraska football season opener, coach Scott Frost said the new staff at Illinois creates some unknowns for the Huskers.

“We’re guessing a little bit as to what they’re going to do, and we’re doing our best to get our guys ready for the game,” Frost said in a three-minute session with reporters after Thursday’s practice.

Frost said he hopes to see a good share of Nebraska red in Illinois’ stadium Saturday but is glad to have fans back in the stands regardless. “College football is a better game when fans are involved,” he said. “There’s more passion in college football than in any other sport, in my opinion.”

He said the team has prepared well and is his favorite group thus far at Nebraska. “This group does things the right way and has the right attitude,” he said.
