Scott Andrew Frost (born January 4, 1975) is an American football coach. He played collegiately for Nebraska as a quarterback. He played 6 years in the National Football League as a defensive back with the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[edit] College career

Scott Frost started his college career at Stanford University. He attended Stanford for two years before transferring to Nebraska.

Frost started for Nebraska in the 1996 and 1997 seasons, going 11-2 and 13-0 respectively. He was the starting quarterback for the final National Championship team for legendary coach Tom Osborne.

In the 1997 season, during a regular season game against Missouri he threw a pass that was kicked by Shevin Wiggins and caught by Matt Davison for a touchdown, in a play that became known as the Flea Kicker. The touchdown sent the game in to overtime, and Frost sealed Nebraska's victory with a rushing touchdown. He led the Nebraska team that beat Peyton Manning's Tennessee Volunteers in the 1998 Orange Bowl.

Scott holds the school record with 155 attempted passes with no interceptions.
