I haven't seen anyone talking about this. UF was down 31-14 and faced a 3rd and 8 when the ball was snapped over Franks' head. Franks makes a nice play to grab it on the bounce and roll out to the right. He then throws a dart to a receiver about 2 yards short of the marker that hits him and bounces straight up in the air and is caught by the receiver a couple of yards behind him, who falls for the first down.
In addition to that, the receiver (don't remember who it was) actually has the ball stripped away before he hits the ground, but the refs had already blown the play dead. It was the luckiest 3rd down conversion I can ever remember seeing in my lifetime and ended up being a huge play, as UF continued the drive down for a TD and a great comeback. With the bad luck this team has been subjected to since Tebow left, it was nice to have one bounce our way.
If I was a USCe fan, that play would have had me screaming like a madman.
