  Garrett Nelson acknowledges the chip on his shoulder - on the shoulders of all of Nebraska football players. The Nebraska outside linebacker - and likely captain of the 2022 Husker team - is plenty motivated to win games, and defend coach Scott Frost, after multiple losing seasons in a row. "Everything's right in the world when you win football games, and that hasn't happened in my life in college yet," Nelson said. "When you have professors or students or campus tour guides talk trash to you or your teammates all the time when you're just around campus, just the media and everybody, just to hear that constantly, berate your university that you love and the players that you love and the coaches who are father figures who you love and are around every day, it destroys you as a player and as a man. "So, growing that chip on your shoulder every day, from stuff like that, it's time to play."

A reporter then asked Nelson if 2022 was "the year" for Nebraska. "It's time to play," Nelson said. He conceded that Frost - who took severe criticism as a player in the 1990s when the team won national titles - probably would advise Nelson not to care so much about the critics. "I love him too much not to worry about (the critics)," Nelson said. - Lincoln Journal Star
