Mike G. and Andrew Glucov debate what defines success in Frost’s second year, hitting on the critical role of quarterback development, offensive fit, and defensive continuity after the loss of stars like Malachi Lawrence. Will the Knights’ retooled offense unlock their defensive potential, or does the defense need to match last year’s level to keep UCF in bowl contention?
