Frost: UCF's Loss Against Pittsburgh Was Team's First Test.

UCF · Pittsburgh

Struggling against a physical Pitt defense, the Knights seek to rebound at home by unleashing an explosive ground game and refining their quarterback rotation before conference play. The offense sputtered, managing just one touchdown in the rainy terrain, and falling 12-7 to extend the program's road-losing streak to ten.

"And I think if we'd have played the same type of game 12 months ago, we'd have got beat pretty bad." The differences from Frost's first year back with the program compared to this one have been stark, with UCF's bench boss frequently talking about a raised level of expectations and facilities around the facilities.

Entering a game against Georgia State, where the Knights are heavily favored, Frost is looking to put good film on tape. "I think our biggest improvement's got to come after game two now, because we didn't get tested in game one," Frost added.

Of course, the level of play from Bethune-Cookman to Pittsburgh is going to be very different, and UCF found that out the hard way. In Week 1, the Knights ran rampant, rushing for 360 yards and seven touchdowns.
