The Cornhuskers gave up 49 consecutive points to Oklahoma on the way to a 49-14 loss to the Sooners on Saturday in interim coach Mickey Joseph’s first game.

Oklahoma tied the game on a 61-yard TD by Dillon Gabriel on its next drive and never looked back after that. The Sooners led 35-7 at halftime and put the game out of reach before the third quarter was halfway over. Especially as Nebraska has lost to all three of the FBS opponents it has played so far.

Scott Frost, who led the UCF football team to a perfect season in 2017, was fired today from Nebraska, the team he left the Knights for. “Scott has poured his heart and soul into the Nebraska Football program both as a quarterback and head coach, and I appreciate his work and dedication. The change will make Joseph the first black head coach in school history. Frost then proceeded to leave the Knights in 2018 to return to his alma mater Nebraska to head coach the cornhuskers in the Big 10 Conference. Next up, Nebraska will take on the number six ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at 12 p.m. in the team’s first game without the former UCF head coach.

Quarterback Casey Thompson had a big game in his Huskers debut, throwing for 355 yards, but a fourth-quarter mistake was costly.

After Niro’s touchdown, Nebraska was driving again when linebacker Greyson Metz ripped the ball from Garcia-Castaneda after a 24-yard completion to the Northwestern 11- yard line.

Former UCF greats, McKenzie Milton and George O’Leary were honored at the 10th annual Mikey Awards at the Tap Room at Dubsdread in Orlando for their impact on UCF Football. Milton said he wasn’t always keen on coming to the 407 to play college ball, but his experience with former head coach Scott Frost made all the difference. “Freshman year was up and down; got booed in my last game at the Cure Bowl. “I hate that I did not get a look during the NFL draft, but I can’t change nine knee surgeries,” Milton said. The first time I watched a game was Florida against UCF, and I honestly enjoyed that way more than playing.

And which coaches aren't necessarily on the hot seat, but are under a lot of pressure to show progress in 2022? His teams have been marred by turnovers, a lack of discipline and exceptionally poor special teams play. Frost fired a big chunk of his staff and brought in Mark Whipple from Pitt to be his offensive coordinator. But the negativity can all be pushed aside if the Tigers turn in a big season on the field. Other FBS coaches on the hot seat: Marcus Arroyo (UNLV), Seth Littrell (North Texas), Scot Loeffler (Bowling Green), Jeff Scott (USF), Jake Spavital (Texas State)Which coaches are under pressure?

Facing mounting pressure with Nebraska on the cusp of a fifth straight losing season, Scott Frost acknowledged this year has fallen far short of his expectations. “I thought this year it would pop,” Frost said Monday at his weekly news conference. The Cornhuskers are 3-6 overall and in last place in the Big Ten West at 1-5 entering their home game against No. 6 Ohio State on Saturday.

Recruiting and developing the right running backs to carry it out remains a vital part of program-building in the Big Ten and elsewhere, a task that seemingly never stops. The traditional powerhouse programs aren't alone in their pursuit of multiple running backs, with Minnesota long serving as a prime example.

The Journal-Sentinel reported Mertz’s positive test came Saturday, one day after the Badgers’ 45-7 season-opening home victory over Illinois.
