ORLANDO, Fla. -- Teams on the cusp of becoming bowl eligible dont usually have to hold open tryouts on campus looking for players in the middle of the season.That is exactly what UCF coach Scott Frost did last week.Injuries to scholarship players have thinned the scout team to near desperate levels and the coach is looking for some walk-on help, although it wont arrive in time to help the Knights prepare for Saturdays American Athletic Conference clash with Houston.As the season has worn along weve had some minor injuries, said Frost, who hasnt settled on which walk-ons he will add to the roster. Were just looking for a little more depth here and there.Depth issues aside, the Knights (4-3, 2-1 in the AAC) turnaround season is going better than expected with the team two wins away from bowl eligibility after coming off a 0-12 season in 2015.I didnt honestly know going into the beginning of the year how quickly wed be able to accomplish some of our goals and make that work, said Frost, who was brought in from Oregon to replace George OLeary last December. Weve made a lot more progress than maybe I even thought to the point our record is really good for where our expectations were going at the beginning of the year.There werent a lot of expectations for a program coming off a winless season. But the Knights have turned it around with a tenacious defense and often just enough offense to squeak by as they sit in contention with Temple and USF for the AAC East division lead.UCF is coming off an impressive come-from-behind 24-16 road win over UConn on Saturday. The win followed a heart-breaking last-second homecoming 26-25 loss to Temple a week earlier.For us to get down the way we did and claw back was great to see, said Frost, whose team also suffered a double-overtime loss to Maryland on the final play earlier in the season. It showed the character of our team. And to be in an identical situation as two others where we had to stop somebody at the end of the game was good to see. This team just continues to impress me with its character.After enduring last season, the players wanted to be improved. They worked hard during the offseason to be better.Now they are enjoying seeing the results of the work they put in.Its been crazy, said junior defensive end Tony Guerad, who leads the defensive linemen with 25 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Last year was downfall, we didnt play that good. But this year we have a chip we have a chip on our shoulder.Its a different environment so we are (happier), playing fast and physical. So its been fun this year.The Knights have certainly caught the attention of Houston coach Tom Herman.Obviously you go from zero wins to three wins in four games, thats pretty good, Herman said. Really good scheme, (Frost) has his guys playing really hard.So yeah, hes done a really, really good job in a short amount of time.A defense that ranks in top five in most major categories in the AAC has been a major reason for the progress. But there is no denying the progress of freshman quarterback McKenzie Milton, who was first inserted into the starting lineup in the third game of the season, has gotten better as the season has progressed.Milton is coming off his best game so far, throwing for 317 yards three touchdowns while completing 29 of 45 attempts while leading the comeback.I thought we took a big step forward on Saturday, Frost said. There has been improvement every week. Seeing the passing game click like that is a big part of what we need going forward.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Yeezy Boost 350 Deutschland .

Adidas Nmd Deutschland . PETERSBURG, Fla. AUBURN, Ala. -- Mustapha Heron had his first career double-double -- 24 points and 10 rebounds -- Danjel Purifoy scored 16 points, and Auburn beat Eastern Kentucky 85-64 Thursday night in a Cancun Challenge game.Heron shouldered the load, but Auburn needed a team effort to keep its season-opening win streak alive.The Tigers led 10-2 but went cold while Eastern Kentucky (1-2) rallied and stayed ahead until two and a half minutes left in the first half. Purifoy hit a 3-pointer amid a 9-2 run and Auburn led 37-34 at halftime.The Colonels (1-2) closed to within 38-39 early in the second half on Jaylen Babb-Harrisons layup. Auburn pulled away on a 15-2 run and led 65-50 after a free throw by Heron and Eastern Kentucky got no closer.Auburns 34.5 shooting percentage in the first period became a scorching 56.7 percent in the second half as the Tigers broke the game open.Theyre a good team, and you cant give a team like that second- and third-chance opportunities, and thats what we did, Eastern Kentucky coach Dan McHale said. We allowed them to impose their will, and they made us pay.The Tigers (3-0) were by propelled by Heron, a freshman, who connected on all eight of his field goal attempts, but only made seven of his 13 free throws.Auburn outrebounded the Colonels 51-30, but made 25 of 41 free throws (61 percent), which helped Eastern Kentucky stay close for most of the game.I thought that we were obviously, our physicality -- the difference between the OVC and the SEC showed up on the boards, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. And obviously we took advantage of some things. I dont think that our offensive execution is not whhat it needs to be.dddddddddddd Were going to spend some time doing a better job with that.Nick Mayo led the Colonels with 22 points and five rebounds, and Dillon Avare added 14 points.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers finish their opening homestand 3-0 and head to Cancun, Mexico, on a roll.Eastern Kentucky: The Colonels drop the first of two games against Power 5 opponents and fall below .500 on the season.HE SAID ITInteresting. Weve struggled from the free throw line and we were shooting great in the preseason and we actually shot more free throws this week than we have in a while. I think Im not going to shoot any more free throws and just let them do it on their own because that could have been an issue in the outcome. -- Auburn coach Bruce PearlMAJOR MILESTONEAuburn guard Ronnie Johnson finished with 13 points, but it was a seemingly meaningless layup midway through the second half that mattered the most. With those two points, Johnson eclipsed 1,000 total points for his career. Johnson, a graduate transfer, scored 697 points in his first two years at Purdue and had 291 at Houston last year.STARTING HOTWith the win, Auburn moves to 3-0 for the first time since 2011-12. Its the second time in 12 years thats happened on The Plains.UP NEXTAuburn travels to Cancun to play Texas Tech on Tuesday for the Tigers first away game, and theyll look to keep Bruce Pearls best start at Auburn going.Eastern Kentucky also plays the Red Raiders in Cancun, but the Colonels take on Texas Tech on Saturday.
