LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Nebraska will play a Week Zero game for the second straight season, and coach Scott Frost can't afford a repeat of what happened a year ago. The Cornhuskers' loss at Illinois set the tone for a 3-9 season that ended with Frost clinging to his job after taking a $1 million pay cut and firing four offensive assistants. Frost's fifth season begins Saturday against Northwestern in Ireland, and another Week Zero flop would be an ominous sign.
