“Today was far and away our best day as a team,” Frost said. “I saw great enthusiasm. We had a competition day, so we kept track of every rep, offense and defense. [It] came right down to the end. I’m seeing some guys start to get it, guys start to understand our schemes on both sides and what we’re looking for from a pace standpoint and an effort standpoint. We talk all the time about setting a new standard daily and then trying to beat that standard. We definitely had our best practice today so it’s going to be a challenge Saturday to come out and do better than that.”
Frost said that he can see improvement from everybody on the practice field.
“It’s a lot of things,” Frost said. “We’re stronger, we’re in better shape. After five practices, they understand schemes on both sides better. They’re starting to understand some of the detail that makes it work and I’m seeing a lot of improvement on both sides of the ball.”
