Frost/staff have their work cut out with a team essentially inherited from the Mike Riley debacle. Until their own recruits are the majority, the whip is going to need to be cracked, repeatedly!

Back in the day, this wouldn't even be a topic if players were called out for toughness. But in today's world everyone is overly sensitive - drives me nuts. Football isn't for softies - toughen up

The players need a team meeting without the coaches. They (players) need to start calling out their teamates as a whole and decide to step up or keep losing. Basically a gut check and heart!

Some of the fan base wants to blame the coaching staff and already wants Frosts head, He did the right thing making it public to give a taste of what he is saying to the players. It is on players now

They have been playing like a bunch of California fruitcakes for the past 15 years+ yes they need to toughen up and play with some heart, guts, and desire. Nebraska hasnt played with any of that!!!!

I think that they definitely need to toughen up and i believe that's part of it. These players are used to losing and seemed more interested in getting out of the cold more than winning the game.

Clearly it didn't resonate with the team, on the field at least. No doubt about it, the statement did not change behaviors in a good way. I would have done the same, but it was a miss....

Look in the mirror Frost, and then forget about the loyalty factor and get tough with assistants. That last touchdown Purdue scored was ridiculous. DC can't seem to make adjustments. Call them out.

There could be other ways to go about it. Kids are different today. Not softer or bad attitudes, just different. Frost played with some really tough hombres, the likes of which we may never see again.

Linebacker hurries back to his position looks at the sideline to get the next call. Reads said call and immediately drops to the ground. Sorry but every "injury" after that lost all credibility.

It was. More than obvious. Soccer level obvious. Saw one in the auburn LSU game as well. But even more flagrant. Something has to be done in the off-season rules meetings. Sad day for football.

I think everyone of the 6 times they were injured it was on a second down. That is way to coincidental to not have been coached.

Just look at the timing, it was very obvious. They were prepared to do this. It was not the first team to do that over the past couple of years, but this was the most obvious. Pathetic!

I was at the game with a good view of the Indiana bench. None of these so-called injured players received medical attention when they reached the sidelines.

Obviously faked, at least most of them were. When a player gets up fine then suddenly falls, it's pretty suspect. Would love to see a shot of the sideline to see if there was any signal

In the second quarter one of their linebackers went down favoring his right shoulder. When he left the field, he switched it to favoring his left. Not sure he was faking, or just confused.

Some injuries were probably real, but it's unlikely that all were. Indiana's AD obviously showed bad sportsmanship for his comments. He really has no idea what Frost and the coaches feel about them.

I was there and as a fan nobody should boo a player being hurt. But if you watch the video one has to wonder if that was a tactic of Indiana. In my opinion the MVP should go to #44. Injured 3 times.

There is/was some poison on this team. Although they claim to be a brotherhood, there are some who think they are above the team. Some say MJ is not a gateway drug. If so, then why did Ricky Williams

Ricky Williams felt his need for MJ outweighed his need for football. Mo Washington and D'Robinson need to realize MJ is addictive and give it up. Why waste your talent and future on an addictive drug

Indiana is not the same old Indiana. We haven't put together a complete game yet. Hope it's not ugly, but if it's a squeaker at home we have a fair chance at the win.

Where’s the “going to lose by two touchdowns” button...? Big O-line, good running back.... has been a nightmare scenario for this defense.
