"But look at these preseason quotes from second-year coach Scott Frost: “If I’m just comparing apples to apples with where we were last year, I know we’re a long way ahead of where we were. Guys’ understanding is better. I think they’re more physically ready to go. I think they’re fresh. I think they’re excited. I think they’re more confident. So, I’m pleased with where we are now, but we need to go out and prove it."
Or how about this one at Big Ten media days: “Probably of all the areas we’ve improved, strength and conditioning across the board on our team has improved the most.”
Is it no wonder the fan based was hyped for an improved team showing? Couple this with the spring and pre fall press reporting and the stage was set for a massive let down. Now the problem/question Frost has to solve/answer is why the dismal showing and what can he do about it???
