Nebraska Football: Scott Frost’s top 5 quotes of the off season

The passionate quote from Scott Frost shows his love and understanding of the game. It comes from the perspective of a head coach and a former player of the Nebraska football team.

"We’ve got a lot of guys that love the game. We don’t have enough. We have a lot of guys that have found it again. We need more of them. This game’s too hard, there’s too much work that goes into it. If you don’t love it and be passionate about it – it’s not going to work. Sometimes you go through a season like they went through, it’s easy to lose that passion because you’re going through a lot of hard things. But we’re going to work in a way that the kids are going to enjoy it and care about each other."

This quote says a lot about how Frost views not just Nebraska Football, but football in general. It was more than a game in 1997 and it’s more than a game now. As a national champion and successful coach, Scott Frost can tell you exactly what role passion plays in a football program.

Passion is the foundation for success in anything. Huskers fans and coaches alike can agree that Nebraska Football has been missing the passion in recent years. Frost has established the attitude that players either rise to the occasion and find the passion or separate from the program.

Rediscovering passion was the first step in the process, but it may have also been the most important step.
