“We have to do a better job as coaches to make sure those guys max out their potential.”

Frost said he was happy with the pace at which his quarterbacks are playing.

“Those guys are running hard,” the coach said. “They’re evading rush when they need to.” 

But the timing on throws needs to improve, he said. 

“We’re really young outside (at wide receiver), so that’s not all on the quarterbacks,” the coach said. 

Receivers being at the right spots at the right time is obviously critical. 

“Shoot, we’ve thrown for a lot of yards in this offense (in the past), and we’re not on track to do that this year,” Frost said. “We got the kids in the program who I think are going to be great receivers. A lot of of them are young. A couple veterans are doing a really good job. But our quarterbacks need to trust them, and we need to be in the right spot. We need to be at full speed, and all those things. 

“We’re working toward that every day, and it was better (Monday).”

That said, “Overall, our quarterback play wasn’t good enough on Saturday, particularly the turnovers,” he said. “We got off to such a bad start. But just like every week, we’re going to let those guys compete.”
