Found this in an article this morning, seems to sum it all up perfectly.
"Frost went undefeated at UCF last season, and the reason why his success has yet to translate to Nebraska is simple – he has a roster of inferior talent recruited for a completely different system. "
Look at Texas's and how long it is taking to turn that program around. We need to be patient.

I think they were referencing volleyball. My bad.

I had us at 6-6 regular season
figured Troy /colorado/northwestern / Purdue winning 2 of 4
2 wins we didn’t get
this coming season
great schedule, sets up really well for us
hard gamex at home
easy ones with weak fan bases away
H southern Alabama 95 percent win
A colorado 85 percent win new coach
H northern Illinois 80 percent win
A illinois 90 percent win
h Ohio state 35-40 percent win
h northwestern 60 percent win
a Minnesota 90 percent win
A indiana 85 percent win
h Purdue 60 percent win
h Wisconsin 45 percent win
A maryland 85 percent win
h Iowa 50/50
so Nebraska will be favored in most likely 9 or 10 of its games next season
they will be double digit or close to that favorites most likely in 7 games
barring major injuries I see no reason why Nebraska shouldn’t be at 9-11 wins next year including the bowl game assuming we win the games we should and go 2/4 on the 50/50 games
we can compete and beat every team on the schedule
we also could lose to 5 on the schedule
conservatively 9 wins
most likely 10
get a break or two and win 11
With urban leaving and harbaugh not getting it together offensively
penn state not dominating
wisconsin looking beatable
there isn’t any reason Nebraska can’t consistently win the west and challenge Michigan, psu and osu for titles

The schedule does look, overall, less daunting. The CU game will be the indicator as a loss will likely prove our undoing. A win in Colorado will bode well. No matter what, it will be a tough battle with Ohio State (maybe 30%). Even if we lose that, we ought to knock off NW at home the following week and then get Minnesota the following. We have a good shot at being 6-1 at this point. (assuming the CU win occurs).
Barring injuries or disasterous bad weather games, etc., we have a good chance of winning Indiana, Purdue, Maryland with Wisconsin and Iowa standing in the way of New Year's day type bowl possibilities. The team could get on a roll and get lots of fans overly excited. Or we may slip back into reality and win about 7 or even 8 with a decent bowl.
But: On the other hand, if we fail to win in Boulder, and we lose Adrian M to injury, then another losing season is a VERY real risk, once again.
We will need to find 3 or 4 good O linemen (not sure where we can find them at this point) and a standout WR, a tough RB and a half dozen more good defenders to step forward from the shadows. Are these players on the squad? IDK.
We can certainly expect that there will be general improvement in strength, conditioning and know how. The players will know the schemes much better, will start the year more confidently and have a chance to make the coaches look great. But, we will not be as talented as many want to believe and the recruiting will take another 2 full years for the infusion to really take effect as graduation of our best of this year and next will create holes that won't be easily filled while trying to fill in the holes already there in so many positions.
If Frost gets us to 9 wins, he will be a deserving recipient of Big Ten Coach of the Year honors.
