"Our coaching staff sold itself on what we accomplished in Orlando," Frost says. "I don't think anybody gave us a chance. We took an 0-12 team that was ranked at the bottom in offense and defense and turned it into a 13-0 team that was top 20 in offense.
Frost's offensive system is also quite attractive. He honed it at Oregon under Chip Kelly and Mark Helfrich and turned it loose in Orlando to great effect. Of course, there are those who believe a hurry-up spread attack won't work in the Big Ten's cold-weather climes, but several conference teams have spread concepts in their offenses, and Frost isn't worried about the weather. He tells recruits that the people who thrive in the attack "become household names."
"I've seen it be number one in the country in rainy Oregon and (number five) in hot, steamy Florida," Frost says. "I think it can be the same in Lincoln, Nebraska.
"Kids want to play in that type of scheme. They've watched the Oregon offense and UCF offense and know that it's successful."
"A lot of people saw that."
