Nebraska needed two weekends to get their first victory of the season, a 38-17 triumph over North Dakota, off the heels of a heartbreaking loss in Ireland vs. Northwestern. So Scott Frost had a more positive message for his team in the aftermath of this game compared to the one in Week 0.

When meeting with media for his postgame presser after the North Dakota win, Frost actually shared what he had just told the team right after the game.

You can watch what the Huskers head coach had to say at the beginning of this video, or read his full message to the team just below.

Scott Frost’s message to the team after North Dakota win

“I told the team we got a bunch of winners the in locker room. They found a way to win. A lot of good and a lot of bad, frankly, in that game. Always better to learn those lessons in a win than a loss, you know.

“There was a ton of good. I thought, at times, we looked really explosive on offense. That, at times, we looked completely out of joint. Little mistakes here and there on offense cost a couple drives. They did a good job keeping the ball away from us defensively. Kind of the same thing I told the team after the game. They play really well and give up a chunk play. Overall, I thought the defense hung in there. But we can be better. Some dumb plays on special teams. I’m in the meetings and listening to them and those things need to get better.

“You know my message to the team, I don’t mind sharing with you. It’s been an interesting camp in that we got a lot of new guys on the team, on the staff. Those guys are really confident in who we are. Got some old guys that have battled through a lot of adversity and been on a good team before, and haven’t won. As a head coach, you got to balance telling them they’re a great team to keep confidence up with being honest with them and making sure we’re continuing to get better.

“This team can be a great team. It’s not right now. And that was my message to them. So that puts us in a perfect position to have the potential to be good, but know that we got a lot of work to do and a lot of things to fix.”
