“It was unfortunate that I didn’t get to see a game, but I’m glad I was able to be back there and support and rile up the crowd during the delay.”

Indeed he did.

Suh’s return is one of the many markers along the way since Scott Frost was hired in Dec. 1 that looks like healing in the program.

“From the time that I left, there were some great situations with Bo (Pelini) being there and Coach (Tom) Osborne being the AD. But personally, in my own opinion, whatever decision that was made, with not allowing Coach Osborne to put his successor in, that’s when things started to go downhill,” said Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. “When Bo left, from a football perspective, obviously it wasn’t the best.

“I don’t have anything bad to say about (Mike Riley), because I actually know him very well from his Oregon State days, it just wasn’t, in my opinion from afar and then in the times when I did try to come back, it just was not the Nebraska way.”

Suh, a Portland, Oregon, native, has known Frost dating back to Frost’s days at Oregon.
