The only thing Franks has on Trask is his athleticism. Doesnt say much for the starting QB at UF.
I hope this is right and Franks can be an effective runner, but this is a quote from Franks (courtesy of The All American/Will Sammon):
Franks said. “In high school, I think I had, like, I might have run like 10 times. I didn’t ever run, so that’s kind of new to me. I think I’m adjusting pretty well to it.”
He also noted:
When you exclude sacks and plays with fumbled snaps, Franks had 25 carries for 217 yards last season. His 8.68 yards per carry is inflated by the long run against Texas A&M, but even if that 79-yard run is excluded, Franks averaged a respectable 5.75 yards per carry.
Besides two quarterback keepers up the middle on third-and-short situations, none of Franks’ carries last year came on designed runs or RPOs, based on
The Athletic’s charting of plays.
