No. Maybe at Nebraska?

At Nebraska, yes.

Frost went to play at Stanford as a DB because he knew he would have to sit the bench behind the greatest college QB for 2 years.  

 

I do not know for 100%...but I believe Frost went to Stanford because he was a QB and he had dreams of being in the NFL--as a QB.  Bill Walsh was, at that time, the HC of Stanford and so Frost picked the school and coach he thought was best suited to get him NFL ready.  Ironically, at Stanford he ended up at Safety.  I think, and I am relying on memories years past, but Frost did get a shot at QB while at Stanford and it just didn't work.  He was too good of an athlete to keep on the bench, so Walsh put him at safety.  Anyway...that's my hazy recollection.

This is accurate based on the stories I've read.

One thing I like about Frost is he was willing to play a different position in the NFL. Lots of QBs wouldn't consider it.

So I'm not entirely crazy...;)

Lots of QBs (Eric Crouch notwithstanding) aren't athletic enough to consider it.

Wasn't Frost the first QB to throw and run for 1000 yards?

 

Like someone else mentioned, he was the first Nebraska QB to do it. He was the 15th-20th overall to do it.

Fair enough.  My point was that Frazier is considered one of, if not the, greatest college QB’s ever.  Frost isn’t.

 

True dat.
