ORLANDO — Walking out onto UCF’s practice field brought back good memories Tuesday for Scott Frost, beginning his second regime as Knights football coach. It didn’t hurt that the previous day’s thunderstorms brought along cooler weather to begin the 15-session spring grind.
“There’s just such a good energy out there. The weather’s beautiful, and there’s palm trees and ospreys flying around and a bunch of kids that love football,” said Frost, hired in December following Gus Malzahn’s resignation to take the offensive coordinator job at Florida State. “It’s a fun place to be.

“You see the way I play. When I get tackled, I get back up. I like that already. That’s the way I play. The whole offense doing that. It’s right up my alley.”
