Verduzco anticipates Frost will approach him soon for a discussion about the No. 2 QB role

Nebraska football coaches haven't pinpointed a No. 2 quarterback behind Adrian Martinez just yet.

The four-game redshirt rule enacted right before last season obviously adds nuance to the discussion.

But that discussion will occur in earnest soon among the staff, Husker quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco told reporters following Wednesday's practice.

Milton's numbers in 2017 as a sophomore improved drastically compared to his 2016 season. In 2016, he completed 57.7 percent of his throws for 1,983 yards and 10 touchdowns, with seven interceptions. His passer rating was 113.0. In 2017, his completion rate was 67.1 percent for 4,037 yards and 37 touchdowns, with nine picks, as UCF finished 13-0.
