It sounds like all the coachs are happy the way the quarterback situation is progressing.

Just because redshirt freshman Drew Barker threw two interceptions in Saturday's scrimmage does not mean he's making an abundance of mistakes this spring.

"He’s not making that many mistakes," said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson Monday. "I think they show up because he threw a couple picks (in the scrimmage), so I think people think, ‘Oh, he threw a couple picks.’ Well, when you break down those picks, there’s typically some reasons you throw picks.

"The overall mental mistakes are really limited; there aren’t a whole lot. Just like on the one pick, he had the back on the wrong side, so it pulled the mike linebacker. If he has the back on the other side, then the window he’s throwing through is really open. So he’s not expecting the mike linebacker to pull that way, but he should’ve put the back on the other side."
