LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Scott Frost says he was willing to make sacrifices to continue as coach at Nebraska. Frost’s comment came two days after he took a pay cut and fired four offensive assistants. The Cornhuskers are 15-27 in four years under Frost and 3-7 this season. Offense and special teams have been major problems this season. Frost said he was uncertain exactly how he would structure his staff. He hopes to become a CEO-type head coach rather than overseeing every aspect of the offense.
UNDATED (AP) — The season is about to get serious for No. 4 Oklahoma and the Big 12. The Sooners come off an open date to play the first of what could be their four toughest games of the season.

They include No. 11 Texas A&M at No. 12 Mississippi and No. 13 Wake Forest hosting No. 21 North Carolina in a key ACC showdown.
