They're going to try and get Franks to play more instinctively and to run as often as he feels comfortable. We'll see how that translates.
Fumbles too much.

Am I the only member of this forum who is sick to death of the Donkey's absolutely predictable attacks on Mullen?
Until he wins the SEC, recruits top 10 classes and develops the QBs. Yes you will read his disdain for Mullen’s. That or the AD goes and spends 80-90 mil on the next Jumbo.

FIFY. This takes what the defense gives you talk is loser talk that was never around when UF had good offenses. You ran your stuff and exploited where you put the defense in a bad position. If you take what they give you, you punt 3 plays later.

Get a clue man. Cousin Eddie is not bringing the fun and gun. He wants to play smart football and limit turnovers. Would I prefer to see an uptempo true spread chucking it all over the field - hell yes. But that’s not what is gonna happen. I would much rather see Franks check down to a safer throw than forcing something late into double coverage for pick city.

Franks did so much crazy crap the stats don't capture - was just watching the KY replay on TV and Franks was in the endzone on a 3rd down and throws a pass that gets batted into the air by a KY defender and instead of batting it down in the endzone not to risk giving KY a TD or a safety (no one was right near him) Franks proceeds to catch the ball and runs it out losing 4 yards putting more pressure on the punter.

The punter then has the kick returned to our 10 yard line resulting in a KY TD. That was the point that Mac finally put Del Rio into the game.

I think Law may be wrong about Franks not being a match for Driskel in the Driskeling department.

I wish that we had actually gotten Terry Wilson, the JUCO QB that Nebraska, UK and us were recruiting. He is starting for UK. Between him and Emory, that would have changed the QB room.

Yep he looks like he would fit this type of offense.

Right, many "you have to be kidding me" moments, plays that seemed like he completely lacks the between the ears part. Yet, Mullen says he's our best. He could be a practice QB. Mullen has seen the film from last season so my guess is he's waiting to see how Franks handles Kentucky pressure.

I think he is a better runner than passer but he still passed for 2,133 yards, 26 TDs and 11 ints. He also ran for 518 yards and five touchdowns on 126 carries.



He's going to give us some problems in our game against them.

If anybody ever touts Addazio's recruiting prowess, the first 3 are Dazzler specials!

Also notice the trouble that both LSU and Nebraska have faced with their QBs.
