There, onlookers noticed an interesting decision that was made by the coaching staff, having UCF players wear guardian caps while in practice. Guardian caps are a kind of shell that goes over the outside of a helmet, giving a player extra padding from collisions. UCF head coach Scott Frost recently opened up on the decision, explaining it comes down to what the trainers have recommended.
