It's assumed that Scott Frost will be named Nebraska's next head coach on Saturday.
After watching Frost and his Central Florida Knights in action against Memphis, here are three takeaways from the AAC Championship Game.
Frost's offense is more than just an aerial attack
It's so easy to say that Scott Frost's offense doesn't run the ball enough, but in all reality, they are a balanced attack. On Saturday UCF threw the ball 40 times and ran the ball 39.
Just like Chip Kelly's offenses at Oregon, Central Florida is capable of running for 300 yards and or throwing for 300 yards. They can do it either way, as both aspects compliment one another.
The other thing that jumps out is the development UCF has done at quarterback with McKenzie Milton. The Hawaii native is just a sophomore, and Frost has turned him into one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country.
UCF defense not as bad as it looked on Saturday
It's easy to overreact to the way Central Florida's defense has played the last two weeks against South Florida and Memphis.
But to be fair, the Bulls and the Tigers have two of the top 10 offensive units in the country and were both one-loss teams ranked inside the top 25.
In UCF's other 10 games they only allowed over 24 points once, and that was in a 73-33 win over Austin Peay where the Knights played their back-ups for most of the second half.
I also feel that if you have an offense like Central Florida's, naturally the pace they play is going to make it harder on the defense because they are on the field for more plays.
This is going to give the Big Ten West a completely different flavor
It's hard not to think what Frost's offense is going to bring to the Big Ten West.
The division has been dominated by more traditional pro-style systems, but with the addition of Frost, to go with guys like Purdue's Jeff Brohm, it's going to give the division a new flavor.
The question is can this system work in November Big Ten weather conditions? Will it be physical enough to win at the highest level in this league?
