Although his team won 31-24 at SMU and put up over 600 yards of offense, head coach Scott Frost wasn't completely satisfied with the offensive performance in the win when he spoke at his weekly press conference Monday.
"Overall we performed well on offense Saturday," he said. "We just didn't finish a couple drives we should have. You're supposed to have more points than we had if you have 600 plus yards of offense, so we're going to go to work to make sure we finish drives this week."
Frost then looked ahead at what's next. With UConn coming to Orlando on Saturday he spoke on what he sees out of the Huskies.
"I see a team that's improving," he said. "From the beginning of the year to where they are now, they've made huge improvements. In this conference you have to be at your best to beat everybody, and if you're not, anybody in this league can get you."
