There's a statement to his team in his reason for that, too.

"I don't want to schedule a game for December because I think we're going to have a chance to be in the championship game," the Husker head coach said Thursday. "And scheduling a game in December, I don't want our kids thinking we're not going to be in the championship. We need to be in the Big Ten Championship game."

The Big Ten title game is in Indianapolis that first Saturday night in December, and Saturday's 33-28 season-opening loss to Colorado plays no factor in the race to get there. Nebraska starts with a clean slate in the league standings next Saturday when it heads to Michigan.

"So that leaves us October (27). It's not ideal to play 12 straight weeks. They don't even really do that in the NFL," Frost said. "But if that's the hand we're dealt, so be it. These kids have practiced hard enough and worked hard enough, they deserve to have a full slate of games, and 12 games. So administration is dealing with that. We'll play whoever they line up for us."

That could include either FBS or FCS competition, though FCS teams would need to get a waiver to play that extra game.

While Nebraska had its opener against Akron canceled due to thunderstorms, teams in other parts of the country are having games called off this weekend due to the approaching Hurricane Florence.

Among those teams that already have had its game canceled is Frost's old school, Central Florida, which had its contest at North Carolina wisely postponed with the storm expected to pummel the area.

Some imaginations have danced since UCF shares a bye week with Nebraska on Oct. 27, thinking that perhaps the Huskers could match up against Frost's old team.

Frost didn't completely slam the door on such an idea, but didn't seem too keen on it either, noting it also might not be a great setup for UCF, since it has a Thursday game just five days after that Saturday bye against Temple.

"We'll play whoever they get us to play," he said. "I know UCF doesn't have a true bye week. It has a short week the next week. The hardest part for me is if anyone from either team got hurt, or anything bad happened to any kid, I'd be broken-hearted. I still love those kids down there
There's a statement to his team in his reason for that, too. 

 " I don't want to schedule a plot for December because I remember we're going to have a probability to be in the backing game, " the Husker head coach order Thursday. " And scheduling a game in December, I don't desire our kyd thinking we're not go to be in the championship. We need to be in the Big Ten Championship plot. " 

 The Big Ten title game is in Indianapolis that first Saturday night in December, and Saturday's 33 - 28 season - opening loss to Colorado act no factor in the race to get there. Nebraska begin with a clean slate in the league standings next Saturday when it heads to Michigan. 

 " So that leave us October (27). It's not ideal to play 12 straight weeks. They don't even really do that in the NFL, " Frost allege. " But if that's the hand we're dealt, so be it. These kids have practiced heavily enough and ferment hard enough, they deserve to have a full slate of games, and 12 games. So administration is dealing with that. We'll play whoever they trace up for us. " 

 That could admit either FBS or FCS competition, though FCS team would need to get a waiver to bring that extra game.
