UCF football team makes progress ahead of showdown with Houston

Midway through the college football season, new UCF football coach Scott Frost has already experienced the wild pendulum shifts that go with rebuilding a program for the first time.

Two weekends ago, he called the team's last-second 26-25 homecoming loss to Temple "sickening." He, and several assistant coaches, said it was one of the most heartbreaking losses they'd been a part of.

On Saturday, Frost was dishing out the pain as UCF pulled off a words 24-16 come-from-behind victory during UConn's homecoming. And it didn't hurt that the Nebraska native's beloved Chicago Cubs happened to clinch a place in the World Series for the first time in 71 years that same night.
