Scott Frost isn’t calling plays on offense this season.

However, the embattled Nebraska coach still made the biggest decision in Saturday’s 31-28 loss to Northwestern in Ireland.

He ordered an onside kick and it didn't work. Now, he’s facing even more pressure with Nebraska’s losing streak at seven games.

"You’ve got to win in this business to keep your job," said Frost, who is in his fifth year at the helm. "That’s the way it is. I love the state of Nebraska. I love these fans that sacrificed to come over here. We’ve got to get this turned around."

Ryan Hilinski threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns to help Northwestern rally to a victory in the season opener before 42,699 fans at Aviva Stadium in the Irish capital.

Frost took the blame for a failed onside kick that changed the momentum of the game in the third quarter.

"I made that call so that’s on me," Frost said of the decision after the Huskers took a 28-17 lead. "At that point in the game, I thought all the momentum was on our side. I thought if we got it, we could end the game.

"You can’t really foresee them scoring 14 straight and us sputtering after we played well to start the second half on offense. Again those are excuses. If I had (to do) it over, I wouldn’t make the call."

The Wildcats finished with 528 yards and gained a measure of revenge after their humiliating 56-7
