SUSHI DOESN’T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE.

Conveyor-belt sushi is all the rage, and

without the big price tag. Restaurants like 541 Sushi

in Eugene cater raw fish to those whose wallets are

as empty as their stomachs.

UO ALPINE SKI TEAM HOPES FOR STORMY WEATHER

Few sports are more reliant on weather than alpine ski racing.

Every winter, the amount of snowfall directly correlates with how many days skiers have to train for and compete in races.

The Pacific Northwest is expected to experience “El Nino” conditions this winter, characterized by warmer temperatures in the Pacific. Though El Nino creates varying weather patterns around the continental United States, the Pacific Northwest most commonly experiences drier winters in El Nino years, according to a Weather Channel study conducted in November.

This could mean another dry year for the University of Oregon club alpine ski team, already coming off two consecutive seasons with below-average snowfall. The team normally trains at Hoodoo Ski Area, 80 miles northeast of Eugene, but has been unable to in the last two seasons due to low snowfall.

“We set gates, get hill space and teach fundamentals to these kids,” co-captain Jake Railton said. “It’s hard to just jump in ... there’s things that get thrown at you in a race where you’re expecting everyone to train, and most teams have. We’re usually one of the only teams that hasn’t.”

While snowfall, or lack thereof, could deter the Oregon alpine ski team from training, it won’t make or break a successful season. Being underprepared for competitions has obvious disadvantages, though the team has dealt with it before. Instead, they embrace being able to travel around the region, bond with each other and compete against fellow collegiate skiers.

“The UO ski team offered an opportunity for me to join people who also like to ski, enjoy the snow, travel and

continue racing at the same time,” captain Megan Ganim said. “Having this outlet in college, even now in my senior year, is really beneficial.”

Railton, a Utah native, competed for the Park City Ski Team in high school. Racing against some of the best skiers in the country, Railton invested countless hours in trying to get better, but eventually got burnt out.

“In high school, it was really all I cared about,” Railton said. “I was a head case, taking it very seriously. I wasn’t getting the results I wanted, and that made me not want to ski for an NCAA school.”

Instead, Railton came to Oregon and tried out for the alpine ski team.

“I came here, and it was just perfect for me,” Railton said. “It became the thing I love about it, which is ski racing itself.”

Ganim and Railton have seen firsthand the effects of sub-par snowfall.

“Coming to a race and not having training is pretty frustrating,” Ganim said. “It would be awesome to get more snow this year.”

There is still optimism among the team that this year’s snowfall will be better than years past. The El Nino doesn’t automatically guarantee less snowfall, and in some years, can actually mean the opposite.

“You really don’t know until you’re actually in the season,” senior Stephan Splitstoser said. “I’m really hoping that we get a lot of snow, and can go up and do as much training as possible.”

Weather is out of their control, but the alpine ski team will make the necessary adjustments come racing season.

“The show goes on,” Ganim said.

CONVEYOR-BELT SUSHICONVEYOR-BELT SUSHI“Let’s go get sushi and not pay!”

This is one of the most memorable lines from the 1984 comedy Repo

Man, spoken from one L.A. punk to another as they debate the next stop on their crime spree. It’s a sentiment any broke college student with expensive taste can sympathize with. Sushi is delicious, but why spend five bucks on a couple measly slices of snapper when you can pig out at dozens of other places for the same price?

Luckily, quality sushi doesn’t have to be expensive. Sushi belt restaurants, known as kaiten-sushi (rotation sushi) in Japan, offer plates of sushi on metal conveyor belts for remarkably low prices — and there are plenty in Eugene. 541 Sushi downtown offers

all plates for $2, every day. Sushi Station in the Market District serves individual plates between $1.50 and $3.50. Sushi Island’s two locations offer those same prices, but all selections from the belt are priced at $1.50 at its extremely crowded happy hours.

The conveyor belts run right by customers’ tables and generally wrap around a kitchen, where a small team of chefs continually prepares new plates for the conveyor and throws out old ones. Sushi and other small dishes are served on plates that are colored differently depending on price. Customers may also make special orders.

One doesn’t necessarily go to a conveyor-belt restaurant to find that perfect cut of tuna. Rather, customers — especially college

CONVEYOR-BELT SUSHICONVEYOR-BELT SUSHI students — are drawn to the low prices and accessibility of conveyor-belt sushi.

“They’re relatively cheap compared to sit-down sushi places,” University of Oregon student A.J. Nichols said. “They also give you an immediacy to the food. You don’t have to wait at all. You can go in there and start eating immediately.”

Sushi Island has two locations: one in West Eugene and one closer to campus in The Patterson apartment complex on East 13th Avenue. The Patterson houses a large number of international students, who provide much of Sushi Island’s clientele.

“The clientele is mostly foreign exchange students,” said Cara Pyle, who works at the Patterson location. “A lot of people live here, so there are a lot of regulars — people who come here every day.”

Kaiten-sushi was created in 1958 in Japan by Yoshiaki Shiraishi, who found the salvation for his understaffed sushi restaurant after seeing beer bottles roll off a conveyor belt at a brewery. After Shiraishi’s invention was displayed at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, a boom followed, and restaurateurs both in Japan and abroad began adopting the concept. Today, there are large companies that deal in sushi belt paraphernalia. Vermont company Modu has the U.S. monopoly, making belts as well as plates; in Japan, Ishino Seisakusho is the biggest brand.

In Japan, kaiten-sushi has proven lucrative in an economy where stagnating wages have driven more expensive eateries out of fashion. As 541 does in Eugene, several chains in Japan offer all plates for the same price – often 100 yen (81 cents), inspired by a trend of 100-yen shops.

Sushi ingredients can be expensive, especially at the quality required to serve them raw. So how can these restaurants make a profit selling sushi so cheaply?

“Some of our ingredients are expensive and some of our items are low [priced], so the average is about two dollars,” said Hans Chae, manager at 541 Sushi. “It balances.”

Thus, at 541, you may see a bowl of edamame (soybeans) that costs less than $2 to prepare next to a couple shining slices of salmon that cost more.

Sushi Island also does not strictly adhere to the $1.50-for-everything happy hour rule. Though this rule applies to everything on the belt, about a third of the items on its menu are only available by order and cost the same at all times.

Happy hour at Sushi Island is cheap, but it’s advantageous for another reason: the turnover between plates is much faster, leading to a fresher product.

“If you go at the end of the day when they don’t have any customers, you don’t know how long anything has been going around the conveyor belt,” Nichols said. “If you go during happy hour, there’s so many people eating them so quickly — and there’s so many chefs making the sushi — that you’re getting it directly as it’s being made.”

Some customers report that the quality of sushi generally isn’t quite at the level of sit-down restaurants. Nichols can confirm, “It’s not the top-quality sushi.” His friend Sophie Von Rohr, who has worked at sit-down establishment Mio Sushi, finds “it’s only really worth going there if it’s happy hour — otherwise [you] might as well get better sushi.”

The prospect of raw fish sitting out in the open for uncertain amounts of time might turn some diners off sushi belts. But Nick Alviani, a health inspector for the Lane County Department Of Environmental Health, says there’s nothing to worry about as long as the restaurants follow the proper health codes. According to the most recent FDA food code, passed in 2013, restaurants may only keep food in a non-temperature-controlled environment for four hours.

“After every four hours there’s a high potential risk of having bacteria grow to a certain level that might get people sick,” Alviani said.

Belt restaurants must approve a time-keeping procedure with the Department of Environmental Health. Some restaurants make timetables; others use stickers at the bottom of their plates to mark when the dish was made. 541 rotates the colors of its plates by the time period in which the dish was made — divided into three-hour intervals — rather than by price.

A good indicator of how long dishes on a conveyor belt have been out is the color of the avocado used in rolls. Avocados brown within a few hours, so if there are brown spots on the avocado, it’s likely the plates haven’t been changed in a while.

The system seems to work. 541, Sushi Station and Sushi Island currently boast health scores of over 95. If you still don’t want to risk a few brown spots on your avocado, Eugene has no shortage of sit-down restaurants. But at a place like Sushi Island, $3 could get you a sufficient meal of two filling rolls at happy hour.

If there’d been a sushi belt in L.A. in 1984 – at least one that those punks from Repo Man knew about – they might have just scrounged together a few quarters, or maybe moved their dine-and-dash operation to a steakhouse.

NATIONAL OFFICE AND UO

STAND WITH AEPI IN RESPONSE TO ANTI-SEMITISM

➡ O L I V I A D E C K L A R , @ A I V I L O R A E

Recent attacks against Alpha Epsilon Pi have brought the University of Oregon, Eugene Police Department and International AEPi headquarters together to combat anti-Semitism.

On Oct. 30, UO student David Leon Ramirez sat on an AEPi member’s truck at the fraternity’s house and, when asked to get off of the truck, Ramirez responded with anti-Semitic remarks and kicked the side of the vehicle.

Ramirez was charged with second degree intimidation six days later.

This is just one of the anti-Semitic attacks that have happened against AEPi. Swastikas are often drawn on car windows and mailboxes nearby the fraternity’s house.

John Pierce, the Internaitional AEPi public relations spokesperson, said there has been a rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses and AEPi will not stand for it.

“We want our undergraduates to be proud about their Jewish identity, but we also want them to be as safe as possible,” Pierce said.

Along with the national fraternity and EPD, local AEPi is working closely with the university.

“We continue to provide support and outreach to the fraternity to make sure they know that the university community is deeply critical of such behaviors and stands together with our students impacted by this,” Robin Holmes, UO Vice President for Student Life, said in an email.

UO President Michael Schill said in an email that the anti-Semitic attacks across the country are sparking prevention conversations nationally, but also locally.

“Matters of bias are under intense discussion across the country,” Schill said. “These kinds of crimes illustrate our need to keep working and remain committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive climate on campus.”

While Pierce said anti-Semitic attacks are not completely preventable, Holmes said that UO has a plan in place to fight the attacks.

“We will continue to foster opportunities for critical dialog and important conversations about celebrating diversity in all of its forms, and increasing acceptance, tolerance and understanding of those whom we may perceive to be different from ourselves,” Holmes said.

Pierce said he is confident the latest anti-Semitic attacks will be resolved, but he and Holmes said they encourage the community to be understanding and recognize the issue as the first step.

“Speak up and speak out against racial, ethnic and other intolerances whenever you encounter them,” Holmes said. “Make sure anyone who becomes a part of our community knows what our community values are.”

Schill said that UO will not condone such acts on campus.

“I am deeply disturbed by these acts against Alpha Epsilon Pi,” Schill said. “They are cowardly and completely contrary to the values we hold dear at the University of Oregon. We do not tolerate hate crimes against any member of our campus community and appreciate the Eugene Police Department’s rapid attention to the situation.”

Everyone knows of them. Many have befriended one or two. Others want nothing to do with these guys. But still, most people try to visit all three on their birthdays, especially for their 21st. These three boys may seem to belong to the same crowd — each one associated with some type of a “good time” — but the truth is, we don’t actually know Taylor, Max or Rennie as well as we think we do.

So, if our favorite bars on 13th Street were real people, these are what their stories would be.

Taylor is the guy who has over a thousand Facebook friends, but fails to keep in close contact with even 10 of them. He’s not a university student — but he can’t picture himself living outside of a college town.

Taylor is the guy you go to when you want to have a good time on a random Wednesday night and you’re in the mood to meet and mingle with a crowd of strangers. He will be sure to introduce you, first names only, to everyone who’s out, but don’t count on a Studio One brunch with him the next day.

But Taylor is not an easy guy to lose, which is good for someone who gets as out of hand as he does. His head pokes out of the crowds at 894 E. 13th Ave. since he stands at 6’4.” On any given day or night, you’ll see Taylor in five-year-old trends that he refuses to change out of. In just the last year, he has tried to spruce himself up, but his go-to outfits of khaki cargo shorts, t-shirt button-ups, Sperry’s with the leather laces untied and his backwards, white Oregon cap have yet to go.

And then, there’s Max. He sees himself as the opposite of Taylor. Max is also a cool guy, but doesn’t try to be as much as Taylor does. His real name isn’t Maximilian – it’s simply Max.

During the week, he’s pretty quiet and laid back. Max would be game for a night in, watching movies coupled with a bowl of Trader Joe’s popcorn. But when the weekend comes

and midnight strikes, Max’s juices start to flow at 550 E. 13th Ave.

Music-wise, he stays true to American classics and thinks a little Journey and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” go a long way. Max’s personality stays true to that of a Sagittarius as he enjoys traveling and being outdoors, while having a bookmark stuck in the pages of Plato’s Republic.

He has a fun sense of humor that ranges from South Park references to political satire. However, he’s not always the ideal hipster intellect. Behind his thick-rimmed glasses, which he doesn’t actually need to better his vision, and his hazel eyes, which he hates when people call green, is a guy who suffers from clinginess. When it comes to dating and relationships, Max falls hard quickly. He is a culprit of overthinking text messages and wanting more out of his Tinder matches.

Rennie and Max are good friends who go way back. Their friend groups don’t overlap, but the two of them make sure to grab a pint together every few weeks. As a Capricorn, Rennie sticks to his mature and mysterious ways. He is more of a homebody than a partier, and more book-smart than street, but he is known to throw some mad weekly trivia nights. Everyone likes going over to Rennie’s since his place is so much bigger than Max’s or Taylor’s.

Max graduated and works in town, but Rennie refuses to leave university. But unlike Taylor, Rennie actually goes to school. He has finished three degrees and is working on his fourth in political science. Everyone asks if he plans to go into a Master’s program or even law school, but Rennie is comfortable with his undergraduate studies. He doesn’t hang around campus all that much, even though he lives so close at 13th and Kincaid St. But if you ever need Rennie, just look for his day-to-day uniform of the same dark green Oregon hoodie and ill-fitted jeans.

The bars on East 13th Street are either loved or hated by both UO students and Eugene locals. Each joint has its own crowd, ambiance, personality and name — as if they were human. Here is my take on what life would be like for three guys named Taylor, Max and Rennie.

Royce Freeman now FOURTH

for Oregon rushing TDs

➡ H A Y D E N K I M , @ H A Y D A Y K I M

Before every game, Vernon Adams Jr. tells his starting running back that he’s the best in the country.

Last Friday, in the 119th Civil War — that finished in an unexpectedly close

52-42 score — Adams was speaking the truth.Royce Freeman, a Doak Walker semifinalist who

eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the eighth straight game (school record), finished with 218 total yards and two touchdowns in Oregon’s (9-3, 7-2 Pac-12) sixth consecutive win.

Once again, Freeman played the role of offensive coordinator Scott Frost’s workhorse in the red hot Oregon offense, carrying the ball 27 times with a 6.2 yards per rush average.

“He’s really battled,” head coach Mark Helfrich said. “Tailbacks around the country are banged up. People don’t realize how much pounding those guys take.”

Against the Beavers (2-9, 0-9 Pac-12), Freeman passed Jeremiah Johnson on Oregon’s all-time rushing touchdown list, taking sole possession of the fourth spot.

Freeman didn’t take any time to shine the limelight on himself after the game. Instead, he simply acknowledged the feat and praised his team — specifically the offensive line — on the win.

“As far as the record, I don’t really pay much attention to things like that,” Freeman said. “It is an honor to be a part of that group and I just have to thank the offensive line, past years and this year as well. Without those guys, it wouldn’t be possible.”

Don’t buy it?Take his teammates’ routine descriptions of him

that prove the do-all back is merely doing what is expected of him every game – nothing more, nothing less.

“Royce is just a great guy, great player,” wide receiver Bralon Addison said. “We’re all happy for him. For a guy like him, for him to have those accomplishments, accolades, you can’t do anything but be proud as a teammate, as a friend.”

“He’s a good back. As long as he stays healthy and continues to work hard, he’ll be real good for us,” wide receiver Dwayne Stanford said.

This is just the type of player and leader that Freeman, a sophomore from Imperial, California, has been for the past two years.

On the season, Freeman has 1,993 all-purpose yards and 16 scores with a 6.7 yards per carry average. He became the only player in the FBS to record over 100 yards from the scrimmage in all 12 games this season and is now just 99 yards shy of James’ 1,805 single-season rushing mark.

Here’s how the other top-tier backs around the country stack up:

Ezekiel Elliott (Ohio State, junior): 1,672 rushing yards, 139.33 yards per game, 6.28 yards per rush, 19 total touchdowns

Leonard Fournette (LSU, sophomore): 1,741 rushing yards, 158.27 yards per game, 6.42 yards per rush, 18 total touchdowns

Christian McCaffrey (Stanford, sophomore): 1,640 rushing yards, 136.67 yards per game, 5.71 yards per rush, 12 total touchdowns

Derrick Henry (Alabama, junior): 1,797 rushing yards, 149.75 yards per game, 6.09 yards per rush, 22 total touchdowns.

Compared with potential Heisman finalists, Freeman has been as good a back as there’s been nationally this season.

This isn’t something that Freeman thinks about, but it is a reality that his teammates and coaches have taken notice of.

“We have some special players on this team…

Royce Freeman is obviously one of them,” Frost said. “He deserves a lot more accolades than he’s getting. I think our early season losses kind of took him out of the discussion for some things. I don’t know what his stats are compared with everybody else, but I wouldn’t trade him for any back out there.”

For Freeman, last Friday marked nothing more than Senior Day for his teammates and his second Civil War game. He was going to do anything and everything to help his team win, with or without the spotlight. It would be the last time he’d play in Autzen Stadium with players like Tyler Johnstone, DeForest Buckner and Adams, and he wasn’t going to let it go to waste.

Without Pac-12 title aspirations, this in-state rivalry game in late November for Freeman really was all about sending off the seniors on a high note and capping the season off with a sixth straight win.

Even though Freeman isn’t a senior, he sure did play and lead like one tonight. While the rest of the country focuses in on McCaffrey and Eliott, who have undoubtedly earned every bit of their praise, Freeman will continue to run without worrying about the glamour.

No one knows how much longer Helfrich and the Ducks will have the luxury of featuring Freeman in the backfield, but they sure aren’t thinking about it now.

Instead, Oregon is appreciating what Freeman has given them game in and game out, knowing well that players like Freeman don’t come around very often.

Said Buckner: “He’s going to be one of those guys that will be playing on Sundays. I’m glad I had the opportunity to play with such a great player like him.”

Sophomore Royce Freeman played an integral role for the Ducks this season, although he gained little

national recognition.(Adam Eberhardt)


📖 COVER

WAS OREGON’S SEASON A

FAILURE OR SUCCESS?Oregon is no stranger to the injury

bug. In a sport that is dominated by the mantra, “next man up,” the Ducks were a testament to it during their 2014 national championship run. Oregon was lucky in that its most dynamic playmaker, quarterback Marcus Mariota, avoided any setbacks on his way to a Heisman Trophy winning season. The team had no such luck with his replacement this season, and the production dropped off exponentially.

When Vernon Adams Jr. was injured, Oregon looked like a shell of its former self, and virtually crawled to a 3-3 record. When he was healthy, the Ducks looked to have one of the best offenses in the nation and won six consecutive games. They finished 9-3, and appear to be heading to the Alamo Bowl for the second time in three years. And while anything short of a College Football Playoff is a failed season to many fans, this year can be written as a success in my book.

The reason: Despite a consequential injury and despite the “the sky is falling” type of feeling in Eugene in October, the group turned it around and has formidable wins against No. 7 Stanford and No. 20 USC to show for it. In addition, Adams displayed why if he was healthy for an entire season, Oregon may be playing in this Saturday’s Pac-12 Championship game.

So, a year after a national championship berth, this season will especially feel like a success if the Ducks are able to capture a bowl win and reach 10 wins. Injuries are hard to avoid, but when they happen to the most lethal star on the team, they become extremely difficult to overcome. Finishing the season, the Ducks appear to have overcome it fully, not to mention successfully.

Oregon was dealt a tough hand with the departures of Jake Fisher, Hroniss Grasu, Arik Armstead, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. The board didn’t help the Ducks either; Byron Marshall suffered a season-ending injury and Pharaoh Brown and Thomas Tyner missed the entire year with injuries.

My colleagues are 100 percent correct: Had Adams not broken his finger, Oregon could very well be 11-1 and in the driver’s seat for another berth in the College Football Playoff.

This season was a success, given all the obstacles the Ducks had to hurdle. But one area in which they failed was preparedness.

The drop-off between Adams and the other quarterbacks on the depth chart was enormous. Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie were serviceable at best, and former four-star recruit Morgan Mahalak’s play was so far behind theirs that it didn’t merit a snap behind center. I have to believe Adams, a graduate transfer, was a back-up plan himself, and he only made the team with two weeks to spare.

Oregon’s secondary was also depleted this season, which is why seven different combinations of defensive backs started for the Ducks in the first eight games.

Oregon didn’t completely fill the shoes of the key players it lost from last year’s squad, but it did enough to finish with a respectable ranking despite a tumultuous first half of the season. The Ducks should be better set up for success next year, with the secondary having undergone its growing pains and Travis Jonsen and Terry Wilson coming up the pipeline at quarterback.

WAS OREGON’S SEASON A

FAILURE OR SUCCESS?

There are two ways to look at Oregon’s season.

First, there is the “What happened?”

Injuries, a rotation at quarter-back and a defense that sur-rendered 35.6 points per game through the team’s first six games forced Oregon into a 3-3 start. But then Vernon Adams Jr. and Darren Carrington’s return ignited the Oregon offense, and the team won six straight games to end the season, including wins over USC and Stanford — the representatives in the Pac-12 Championship game.

Then there is the “What if?” What if Adams doesn’t break

his finger? What if he completes that throw to Byron Marshall to essentially win the game against Michigan State in week two?

While the latter is a tempt-ing way to reflect on the sea-son, it only holds value in the hypothetical.

That leaves only one option, and under the circumstances, this season for Oregon was a success.

Nobody thought life after Mar-cus Mariota was going to be easy, but the team has adjusted well. The Ducks still have a chance at a 10-win season with the possibility of a seven-game winning streak to end the year.

Even though a trip to the Alamo Bowl might not be the same thing as making a NY6 bowl game, it’s not something to look down upon.

The answer to this question de-pends on who you ask. Fans will deem it a failure, while players and coaches will say success. It’s hard to argue with either group, but at the end of the day, the players and coaches know more than others. That’s why I say success.

The reason this season might seem like a failure is because of the Ducks’ underwhelming performance in the first half of the season. It’s clear as day that Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie were nowhere near the answers, and the coaching staff failed to have a backup plan if Vernon Adams Jr. couldn’t go for whatever reason. This was a defi-nite failure but not season-defining.

I’m a firm believer that the Ducks, with or without Adams, are TWO PLAYS away from being 11-1 and play-ing in the Pac-12 Championship game. What if Adams’s TD pass finds Byron Marshall at the end of the Michigan State game and the Ducks stop Wash-ington State on its final drive? Those two plays have derailed Oregon’s sea-son. With that being said, this season as a whole was a success.

To have lost the best player in program history, undergo a major overhaul in the secondary (treacher-ous in the pass-happy Pac-12) and lose three other players chosen within the first two rounds of the NFL draft, the Ducks did a phenomenal job of sustaining success. Even with being 3-3 midway through the season, the Ducks have reeled off six straight wins and are ranked No. 15 in the nation.

Yes, the season was a success. But it’s nowhere near the success expected from players, coaches and fans. The question “What if?” will be how oth-ers define this season for Oregon, but after everything the Ducks have been through, I’ll define it as successful.

Scott Frost is heading to the Sunshine State.Early Tuesday morning, Rivals.com reported

that Frost, Oregon’s offensive coordinator since 2013, would be named the University of Central Florida’s next head football coach. The school later confirmed the report.

“UCF is an excellent opportunity for me because our student-athletes can succeed immediately, both competitively and academically,” Frost told the Central Florida Athletic Department. “We’ve had great recent success — I vividly remember watching the Fiesta Bowl victory.”

Frost takes over for Danny Barrett, who was the interim head coach after George O’Leary resigned earlier this season.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Pete Thamel, Frost is already en route to Orlando.

UCF’s Vice President of Communications and Marketing, Grant Heston, also confirmed that a press conference to welcome Frost was scheduled for Wednesday.

“Scott is a winner and innovator who has directed one of college football’s most exciting offenses at the University of Oregon,” UCF Athletic Director Danny White said in the press release. “His attitude and experience are exactly what we need to ensure the Knights compete, and win, at the highest levels. I couldn’t be more excited to bring Scott and his fiancé, Ashley, to the UCF family.”

Frost originally started out at Oregon in 2009 as the team’s wide receivers coach before becoming the offensive coordinator in 2013. Frost began his college playing career as a quarterback at Stanford in 1993. Two years later, Frost elected to transfer back to his home state of Nebraska. In his two years as a quarterback for the Cornhuskers, Frost threw 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Frost, despite walking into a program that hasn’t won a game since Dec. 4, 2014, is confident that he can turn the team around next season. UCF went 0-12 this season. The school lost by

one-point margins twice, including a home loss to FCS-level Furman, 16-15, on Sept. 19.

“With our student-athletes, football staff, facilities, fans and supporters, I know we will bring exciting and winning football back to Orlando,” Frost said via the Athletic Department.

Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich commented on Frost’s departure late Tuesday night.

“We wish Scott all the best with his new opportunity at UCF,” said Helfrich. “Oregon’s proven track record of success and unique situation have led to many high quality candidates expressing their interest [in the Oregon vacancy].

“We will continue to recruit, prepare for our upcoming bowl game and support our student-athletes through finals as we move forward.”

Frost received a strong endorsement from Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., too. The graduate transfer posted on Instagram congratulating Frost, while also thanking him for the opportunity to start in a Ducks uniform.
