On Saturday afternoon — following Central Florida's AAC Championship Game win against Memphis — LSE senior Bryson Williams received a call. On the other end of the line was Barrett Ruud, a former Southeast Knight and, at the moment, UCF's quality-control administrator.

Ruud, who is expected to coach linebackers at NU, wanted to stop by Williams' house Sunday night, and the state's most-popular person at the moment — Scott Frost — was going to tag along.
