Let the Trask era begin.........until EJ is ready.

Can’t believe it, but this is starting to look like what will happen. If Trask goes down with an injury in 1st or 2nd game, does Mullen give Franks one last shot or rolls with Jones?

Mullen has a somewhat pass this year on qbs. If Trask and Franks are schit. Highly likely. He needs to start pouring time into EJ and have him ready for the end of the year. He does that and I don't think we will bring the torches and pitch forks.

@anthonysr91 saw the scrimmage and took some vids. The ones of Franks were his near INT and him getting an earful from CDM for not knowing what the hell he is doing. The tweet said there was a lot of that all night. Franks is a dim bulb. Trask led a 98 yard TD drive. Tweet said it was obvious Dan wanted to give Franks the keys and he blew it. Bust. Uncoachable.

Not surprised and more curious at this point about how EJ did.

"Uncoachable". I've been saying that since half way through last season. The kid makes decisions that even nussmeier and Butters didn't coach him to make. He's a liability.

I disagree. Joe Burrow should have been brought in and named the starter 3 weeks ago. That is on Mullen.

Possibly, no way to actually know that. If it turns out that way then Mullen will have to answer for it.

The light is on, but no one is home. Mullins realizing it too late.

There was a tweet posted in this thread, I think, with Lemons saying how much easier this offense is to grasp than McNuss' offense. I've seen other players say the same. Yet, Franks still isn't getting it. Many coaches use the spread option because of its simplicity. This is telling about Franks. I wouldn't be surprised if EJ already has a better grasp than Franks. EJ's problem, from what I've read, is his accuracy.

Mullen starts Franks....period.

I disagree. I think Mullen will start who can run his O the best. If Franks can’t go through 1 or 2 reads and take a check down , Mullen will not start him. And we all know Franks can’t do that. It’s not 100%, but Trask really has a shot to start until he gets hurt or EJ is ready.

Seems like someone said "Franks makes Driskel look like Einstein."

There should have been warning flags as soon as he chose us over LSU who can recruit at EVERY POSITION BUT QB

I think Franks will get the start. Not because he’s the best or because he’s earned it, but because he has experience. Regardless, I think Trask will see game time in week one. Either because we have a lead, or because Franks is failing.

I’m not worried about this in week 1, i’m worried about UK. Until this team proves it can perform, there is no reason to assume anything.

If Trask is truly a better option, I would hand him the reigns week 1 and let him get his feet wet. But I don’t see Mullins doing that. Without knowing how EJ is progressing, it limits speculation

I agree we should have gone after him hard there is no telling if Burrow really wanted to come here or not...he might have still chosen lsu regardless

Here’s the link where I got the scrimmage info. Not sure there is much more to take from the notes, as it appears he made them premium content.

What kind of warning flag is all the Div 1AA and Div 2 schools in Louisiana and Texas passing on a QB?

Or your high school coach passing on you?

Banks, Villano, and Forsythe appear to be #6-8 on the OL, which will change once Heggie retuns. Harkless is a capable back up as well. I'm curious where Heggie goes once he returns; center or guard. Buchanan seems to be doing well.

Umstead apparently rocked Lemons, who fumbled and the D scored. Jaylon Jackson had another big play.

We're in trouble in the secondary if we have more than one injury.

Id like to see how many times Kadarius and Jaylin are lining up at QB.
