What is the clue?

What is the clue?
Question Author
"Quarterback in France about two miles out, in the shade ? (9)"
This clue, up to the comma, only relates to "turquoise" without its u's, that is : "trqoise"
QR reversed in TOISE (old French unit of distance) plus two included unclued Us = TURQUOISE
Seen as metres not miles
In the online copy of the Guardian Prize Crossword it is definitely 'miles' in the clue.
It must be their mistake or the wordplay doesn't work, does it.
