Ditto for Duval, Frost’s hand-picked strength and conditioning coach. Frost quipped during a Wednesday segment on Sports Nightly that Duval’s work had already turned the Huskers into an episode of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” weight-loss program.

Foster said Duval’s program was closer to that of James Dobson, the head strength coach under former coach Bo Pelini, than NU’s most recent strength coach, Mark Philipp. Nebraska players are back to doing “back squats” — where the bar sits on a player’s upper back — after three years of doing “front squats,” where the bar sits on a lifter’s shoulders, under their chin.

Duval also prefers football-tailored lifts over Olympic lifts, which had been used under Philipp.
