Nebraska's Frost will coach UCF in Peach Bowl
Nebraska's Scott Frost will return to UCF for the Peach Bowl and coach the Knights versus Auburn as they attempt to finish the season unbeaten, according to Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald.
Frost was named head coach at Nebraska immediately after UCF clinched the AAC championship with a thrilling win over Memphis. At the time, it wasn't clear whether he'd return to UCF for the bowl game - or if his new program would allow it, since December is an extremely important month for recruiting.

With Frost on the way back for a one-game encore, UCF now has three coaches with "head coach" distinctions. Offensive coordinator Troy Walters has been serving as interim head coach and running day-to-day operations, while former Missouri offensive coordinator Josh Heupel has been introduced as the new permanent head coach. However, Heupel won't participate in the bowl game.
