Nebraska HC Scott Frost estimates 15-20 vomits every practice from offensive linemen: 'I think they love it'

The big news across Cornhusker nation on Thursday was the announcement of junior Texas transfer Casey Thompson as Nebraska's starting quarterback for the 2022 season. Head coach Scott Frost had plenty of other updates during his monthly radio appearance on the Huskers Radio Network, some of which were more notable than others.

Easily his most unique take had to do with the Cornhuskers' group of offensive linemen.

"Offensive line coach Donovan Raiola is coaching his position group intensely, Frost said. To the point that he estimates there are 15-20 vomits every practice from those linemen," Evan Bland, a sports reporter for the Omaha World-Herald, wrote.

"'It’s not because they’re not in shape — he's just working them hard,' Frost said. 'I think they love it. He’s kind of freed them up to go be aggressive and I love the way they’re coming off the ball.'"

Raiola, a former NFL lineman who spent the past four seasons on staff with the Chicago Bears, is in his first year as Nebraska's OL coach.

Frost was at the helm of UCF in 2016 and 2017 before landing in Omaha for the 2018 campaign. While the 47-year-old enjoyed much success with the Knights, including a 13-0 season in 2017, the same can't be said thus far with the Cornhuskers.

Nebraska has had four straight losing seasons under Frost, posting a 15-29 overall record, including a 3-9 mark in 2021. During UCF's perfect 2017 campaign, the Knights ranked as high as No. 6 in the AP college football poll, earned a victory in the Peach Bowl, and their lead man was named the AAC Coach of the Year and the AP Coach of the Year as well.
