Cornhuskers' Scott Frost: 'In Ireland, people were anxious to get to the pubs and in Nebraska, they’re anxious to play football!'

This will be a unique trip for the majority of Nebraska’s playing roster and Frost is eager for them to make the very most of being taken out of their comfort zone.

Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Scott Frost has said his players are excited to be coming to Ireland for an Aer Lingus College Football Classic against Northwestern at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday week (August 27).

Nebraska were initially due to face the Illinois Fighting Illini in the south Dublin venue on virtually the same weekend last year, only for it to ultimately be switched to the Memorial Stadium in Illinois owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. This will be a unique trip for the majority of Nebraska’s playing roster and Frost is eager for them to make the very most of being taken out of their comfort zone.
