Scott Frost plans to follow Tom Osborne formula to rebuild Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. — Tom Osborne, like most others in this football-mad state, senses a resurgence coming for one of the college game’s historical blue bloods.

The 81-year-old, who won 255 games in his 25 years and ended his career with national titles in three of his last four seasons, acknowledged he had disconnected emotionally from the program as it languished under Mike Riley. Nebraska’s first preseason practice under new head coach Scott Frost is Friday, and Osborne is among the many interested in what happens next.
