Scott Frost Assures Nebraska Fans His O-Linemen Are Puking 15 to 20 Times Per Day

If you’re not puking, you’re not trying?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are a team looking to recapture their former success, and there still remains lingering hope that Nebraska Head Coach Scott Frost can turn things around. Leadership in Lincoln still very much believes in his leadership, and trusts in his coaching methods. Which apparently include measuring success by how many times the offensive lineman throw up at practice.

On his monthly radio show, Frost revealed just how much the practice field resembles a vomitorium, and who exactly is responsible for that.

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.

“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.”

Football practice is not a thing of beauty, and some coaches really push their guys extremely hard, sometimes too hard. It’s very interesting to see a coach assure fans that players are being pushed to the point where the line of scrimmage is blowing chunks due to sheer exhaustion. Who knows  maybe some players like puking during practice?

There’s definitely a thin line between being a lovable Football Guy and a bully of a coach.

Football is definitely not a sport for the weak kneed.
