Frost forecast to fill
giant quarterback hole
FOUS QUARTERBACKS
battle for spots behind
starter.
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
An inexperienced but talented
group of quarterbacks is ready to fill
in for Tommie Frazier and Brook
Berringer, the engineers of Nebraska’s
offense the past four seasons.
After sitting out for a year and a half,
Stanford transfer Scott Frost appears
ready to take over. But the job for
which he has been preparing for may
not be his just yet.
Coach Tom Osborne said the start
ing quarterback would be officially
announced the week before the Sept. 7
opener against Michigan State.

Monte Christo, redshirt freshmen
Frankie London and Jeff Perino will
battle fix* depth-chart positions in the
last two weeks of fall camp, which in
cludes two major scrimmages.
Quarterbacks Coach Turner Gill
said the competitive practice atmo
sphere should help all five quarter
DaCKS.
“They all have the potential,” Gill
said. “Matt is the senior statesman of
the group, and they are all going to get
a chance to get out there.
“Right now Scott’s the leader of the
pack, and it’s a big battle for that sec
ond-team job. Anyone could move
around from being No. 1 to No. 5.”
Frost earned the No. 1 spot in the
spring.
“There is sane talent, and I think
that’s why Coach Osborne isn’t real
eager to say that I’m the starter yet,”
Frost said. “I feel confident that I will
be the starter.”
Osborne said Frost’s experience—
he started two games for Stanford as a
freshman—was a major plus.
“I feel as good about the quarter
back position as I could under the cir
cumstances,” Osborne said. “Scott
Frost has a great deal of athletic abil
ity, and he’s not an unproven player.”
Frost’s signal-calling mates agree
that he is the man to beat.
Christo, a 6-foot, 195-pound sopho
more from Kearney, missed last fall
with a tom knee ligament. Christo said
if Frost starts, it’s because he earned
the job.
“The best player is going to be out
on the field, and right now that’s Scott,”
Christo said. “If nothing changes, he’s
going to be the one and we shouldn’t
have any problems with that.”
Turman, who played a major role
in two 1994 wins and entered spring
football ahead of Frost on the depth
chart, said he hadn’t given up hope of
starting.
“A lot of people have thought Scott
is the No. 1 guy for sure, but that
doesn’t bug me,” Turman said. “I know
what the coaches have toldus, and if

SCOTT FROST leads the race to become Nebraska’s next starting
quarterback. Frost, from Wood River; started two games at Stanford
in 1994 before transferring to NU in January 1995.

things go well for me and I have a good
fall ball, who knows what will happen.”
Perino, a 6-2 195-pounder from
Durango, Colo., said he liked the com
petition.
“If you’re trying to work for your
job, and you’re not sure you are going
to get it,” Perino said, “you’ve got to
nut forth more effort lmnwina some
body could take that job away from
you.”
Gill agreed with Perino.
“You saw it with Brook and
Tommie as it made them even better
quarterbacks,” he said. “It’s going to
carry over into this group, too. Every
day in practice, every snap is going to
