For new co-offensive coordinator Curtis Luper, it didn’t take long to explain what it will take to get TCU moving the ball again.
“We need to play better around our quarterbacks. Better than we did last year,” he said Saturday during a visit with reporters, part of a football media day on the eve of fall camp. “That’s upfront, that’s in the backfield, that’s on the perimeter. We led the nation in drops, and it wasn’t just the receivers — it was running backs, tight ends, everyone. So we need to play better around the quarterbacks.
Luper, in his fifth season at TCU, spent the past three years as running backs coach.
