5 observations from first UCF football open spring practice

ORLANDO — UCF football fans got their first true look at Scott Frost's team Saturday morning as the school held an open practice in front of limited capacity at FBC Mortgage Stadium.

Perfection is the end goal for Frost, but he was largely pleased with the progress shown — both over the course of the two-hour practice and the nine days of on-field work since mid-March.

"There's some good and some bad. Any spring ball is like that," Frost said. "We're installing a lot of stuff with a lot of new guys, too. There were mistakes. The biggest thing I was looking for is to see who was going to show up ready to go and fight and be tough. We've got a lot of that on this team; I don't think we have enough. We're going to keep pushing them and helping them understand the expectations we have. We've got a long way to go."

It was also the first spring camp session with full media access, with another set for Friday evening. With that in mind, here are five observations from UCF's Saturday afternoon session.
