PJ did run a 4.5 at the combine in 2004

probably still proud of himself

>> No, Nebraska did not dump ice down players backs or submerge footballs in freezing cold water to prepare for potentially-snowy weather Saturday.

“We’re not doing any of that,” Frost said sharply.

Minnesota has. But Frost said football in 32-degree weather is “beautiful” as long as wind and rain doesn’t get involved. Offensive coordinator Troy Walters, who played in a few snow-filled AFC Championship games when he was with the Colts in the NFL, said Wednesday players don’t even feel the cold when they’re on the field.

It’s also hard to prepare for snow when you have no snow around you.

“We’ve just got to play well,” Frost said when asked about conditions and road mentalities and things of that ilk. “It’s less about all those other things than it is just making sure we execute and do the things we’re supposed to.”

Frost said the weather will be the biggest factor in the game, but the Huskers are “prepared for whatever the environment is.”

Is Martinez going to play, or will PJ Barnum have to prepare for UNL's 2nd #1 QB?

We know Martinez is making trip, we don't know, or more specifically, there have been no credible reports on who will be playing at QB.    If I put my Stratego hat on,  I'd bet Vedral is starting.



Same thing w/ Spielman, and who the heck knows what's going on with PK.Image result for stratego hat images

Frost doesn't disclose those things, but all Husker QBs on the roster are runners and passers

the offense won't change much

High of 40°F, YIKES.

I'd be freezing.

It was cool here yesterday, barely hit 70°F.

Looks like a good chance of snow Saturday AM and then diminishing rain-snow mix in the afternoon with slight chance of snow during the game.  Fun to watch on TV.

Huskers don't like cold and snow...it kills off their food supply.

Last year's Illinois game in Lincoln was at 23 degrees ( I was there), coldest Nebraska game since 1993.
vs Iowa in 2015 was 24 degrees.   I agree with Frost,  the cold is never the issue, its when it is wet, that it is nasty.   Cold windy rain is the worst combination of all.  I recall playing a JV game in high school, early 3rd quarter,  kid takes an option pitch gets tackled into the sideline, breaks his tailbone or something.   Long injury delay    The refs, the coaches say,  ah, that's it, game's over.   Why?  It was drizzly 35 degrees, and windy as all get out.    It was horrible.  I was long snapper, I just lobbed it back to the punter between my legs, no way to get any spin on it.  We got it off all right.
