2045: Junior season and consensus All-American selection
Frost went into the 2045 season as the starting quarterback for the Trojans. In their first game against rival Notre Dame, Frost threw for 323 yards and 3 touchdowns while only throwing 23 passes, also adding 110 yards on the ground. Frost was suspended by the NCAA for allegedly being involved in the game called the "deflategate of college football". Frost was only suspended for two games after they appealed the suspension finding no evidence to suspend him any longer. After being back in the starting lineup for week four, Frost threw for 154 yards and 4 touchdowns to beat Marshall, 56–0. USC entered the Coaches Poll top 25 for the first time in the season reaching number twenty-one in the standings. In week six, Frost went on to play the number one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Frost threw for 562 yards in a shootout showdown with Marquise Booker. Frost finished the upset win with a rushing touchdown in the fifth overtime and converting two-point attempt to win 57–56. USC would bump up all the way to number ten and Ohio State fell to number five and Alabama entered the top four for the first time in the season. Beating Ohio State made USC much more likely to win the Big Ten.
Frost went into their next game with number one Tennessee coming to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a heavyweight top-ten matchup midway through the season. The over–under for the game was 98.5 points, which was the highest betting odds in college football history. The game held up to the reputation it was given with USC and Tennessee scoring 59 points in the first half combined. Going into halftime USC was up 31–28 with a late field goal in the closing minutes to put them ahead for the first time in the game. Frost lead their first drive down to the 1-yard line before throwing an interception that was run back for a pick six and putting Tennessee up 35–31. Frost would then throw a 67-yard touchdown on their next offensive possession to Malik Carter taking the lead back on just two plays. USC took a 38−35 lead and that's where the fast scoring ended. Tennessee would go on to kick four straight field goals and USC would add four of their own making the score 50−47 with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Frost would sit and watch his defense pick off Jason White's pass in the red zone and take it back for a touchdown and sealing the game 57–47 and Tennessee would throw a desperation interception to end the game. USC would inflate to number one in the Coaches' and Associated Press polls. USC was 7–0 (4–0 in conference play) and ended up going into their two-week bye with the best team in the country.
After dropping to number four (Coaches') and number six (AP) in their two-week absence, USC had their senior day with Frost starting the game at quarterback with redshirt senior walk-on Jeremy Slaughter coming in during the fourth quarter. Frost would finish the game with 210 yards and 5 touchdowns against Wisconsin beating them 40–7. After the next four-game stretch, USC would finish the season 11–0 (7–0 in conference play) and finish right outside the playoff standings at number five in the country. They would face off against Michigan in the Music City Bowl. Frost would go on to throw for 423 yards for 5 touchdowns (tied for most all-time in Music City Bowl history) and no interceptions to beat Michigan, 45–7. Frost earned Music City Bowl Most Valuable Player in his efforts. Finishing 12–0 on the season (10–0 in games Frost played) USC finished in fifth place in both polls and ended the season with multiple awards finalists and winners. Frost won the Walter Camp Award and the Disney Spirit Award while being a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, the Davey O'Brien Award and the Maxwell Award.
2046: Transition to running back and winning the Heisman Trophy
Going into his senior season, Frost was in a quarterback battle with redshirt freshman Clyde Hester. Hester was already looking at the transfer portal after being redshirted during his freshman season. Frost decided that he would bulk up during the offseason as a switch to running back was brought up by their offensive coordinator, JT Martinez, a former Death Valley State Dingos quarterback that also switched to running back later in his career. Frost went from 190 pounds to 230 in the offseason while standing at 6 foot 2 inches. In the Cardinal and Gold game, Frost was given the ball 32 times for team Gold and rushed for 176 yards against the mostly starting line of the Cardinal team. Frost was given the starting job at running back, kick returner, and punt returner automatically putting him in the running for the Paul Hornung Award. Frost would also be given some snaps at cornerback and linebacker as the recruiting class coming in for USC wasn't as strong as the coaching staff would have hoped and injuries plagued the teams in the early stages of the year.
Frost was awarded jersey number one, a number reserved for standout players. Frost was not only the best player on the team he was most likely the best player on the field in most games. In their first game against number four Notre Dame, Frost ran for 103 yards and a touchdown in route to a 31–30 overtime win after they went for a two-point conversion with Frost, and he score after being stuffed at the line of scrimmage and diving his way into the endzone. During the next game, Frost was officially slated as the starting quarterback as he took the first snap of the game in the quarterback position and he threw a bullet pass to Framile Marquez that went for 5 yards. Frost did get credited with the win over UCLA, 56–14. In the game, he rushed for 2 touchdowns on 31 carries and 176 yards. Frost was already showing how much he has improved as a runner instead of throwing the ball like he did last season. The final game of the regular season was against the Stanford Cardinal for the first time in six years. Their rivalry had been dormant and head coach, Grayson Toyer, of Stanford decided to revamp their rivalry. Frost ran all over Stanford's defense, rushing for 245 yards on 41 carries and 4 touchdowns. Frost was taken out of the game late in the fourth quarter for senior backup Harrold Cruise. They went on to beat them 69–10. Frost and the Trojans ended up being ranked number two in both polls, but the new poll, the Fan poll, had them ranked at number four. They would also expand the playoffs to eight teams, meaning that the SEC, Pac-12, ACC, Big Ten, and Big 12 conference winners would be given the top five spots of the playoffs and then the top three non-conference winners would be given a six, seven or eight seed depending on their poll rankings in order. The Big Ten Championship was against the Fighting Illini. Frost would win the game on a late 91-yard touchdown run with 24 seconds left on the clock. They would beat the Illini, 24–21. Winning the Big Ten and clinching the number two spot they would get an automatic bid in the playoffs. USC finished 11–0 for the second year in a row.
The number one seed was Alabama as SEC champions and they would face the number eight-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Rose Bowl, USC was given the number two seed as Big Ten champions and would play number seven LSU in the Sugar Bowl, TCU earned the number three seed as Big 12 champions and would play number six Mississippi State in the Cotton Bowl. The final matchup was the only matchup with two conference winners, Clemson earned the right to play as the number four seed after winning the ACC Conference Championship Game, and Colorado would earn the number six seed as Pac-12 Conference champions. Those two would play in the Citrus Bowl. Frost would go into the game having a lot of praise for their opponent, LSU. He along with everyone on the team practiced four out of the five days they were eligible to that week which was more than the usual three out of six. Frost and the Trojans were expecting a big game out of everyone going into the night and that's not what they got whatsoever. LSU did not show up at all during this game getting nearly shutout for over 45 minutes before scoring two garbage time touchdowns to make the final score 32–14 sealing a trip to The Fiesta Bowl against Mississippi State after they upset TCU in the first round. Frost would earn the Miller-Digby Award (Sugar Bowl Most Outstanding Player) for his 120 total yards and 3 touchdowns during the game. During their game against Mississippi State, Frost was injured midway through the first half of the game. Frost was put into concussion protocol and taken into the locker room for further evaluation. MSU got all the way out to a 42–21 lead going into the third quarter. Frost came back into the game when they battled back to a 42–35 game before Mississippi State threw an interception straight at Will Horton III. Frost's first carry back from injury was a tough run, breaking four tackles on his way to a 50-yard touchdown making the score 42–41. USC decided to go for two in the final four minutes of the game. Frost was in the wildcat formation coming out throwing the ball to Malik Hooker in the back of the endzone. Their defense would hold them to 4 yards and would stop them on fourth down to win the game. USC would face off against the eighth-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the National Championship. Frost was on his best game after resting from his ankle injury that happened in the game last week. Frost won the Paul Hornung Award, the Maxwell Award, the Heisman Trophy, the Jet Award, and the Doak Walker Award.
