What's coming up: Practice No. 6 is Thursday. Practice No. 7 is Friday and Scott Frost will meet with the media following Friday's practice.
Morning starter
Athlon Sports released a feature Wednesday where Big Ten coaches go "off the record" to dish on conference opponents.Â
A sampling of what Big Ten coaches said about Nebraska:
* "Scott Frost is going to get it turned around. He's already set the tone, you can tell right away. That's a different team in terms of behavior and attitude on the sidelines. We noticed it immediately."
* "We see them out in recruiting showing in places they haven't in decades. That's the ability to score some points right away and promise immediate playing time in the Big Ten."
* "They struggled a lot on defense, and they're still building it back. They need an identity. That's what separates a talented roster or a high-scoring team from a Northwestern or Wisconsin. You need a defense that can make it ugly."
