Oregon assistant Mario Cristobal was officially promoted to head coach a year to the day after Willie Taggart was introduced. Taggart bolted Tuesday for the top job at Florida State, and Cristobal — the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach — was named interim coach for the Las Vegas Bowl. The 47-year-old Cristobal becomes Oregon's 34th head coach. Before coming to Eugene, Oregon, with Taggart, Cristobal had spent four seasons as offensive line coach at Alabama. … New Nebraska coach Scott Frost is bringing his entire on-field cadre of assistants with him from Central Florida, including offensive coordinator Troy Walters.
