I don't know if we should be thrilled at our well-entrenched starters showing such commitment to mastering their craft...or angry that their massive step-down replacements--who need the work more than anyone--aren't doing the same.

Brantley ran a number of designed runs in his first spring game as the starter, and looked decent.

Just saying...

Funny thing is Trask puts on 10-15 lbs he’s almost Tebow sized...give him some confidence in the run game and...boom

When Donk is proved wrong about Trask, he will get so much flak that I fear he won't be able to take the heat. I would hate to lose him as a poster. But, so far, he has not been proven wrong on Trask. Neither Trask nor Franks have shown that they are willing runners.

High school, per MaxPreps:

Franks ran for 735 yards, long of 55, 11.0 ypc, 8 rushing TDs.

Trask ran for 6 yards on 63 carries, long of 20, 2 rushing TDs in a rushing offense.

No comparison in high school, neither has shown much in college except Franks’ long gallop vs. aTm.

If Donk is proven wrong, he will defy all criticisms and taunt us all a second time (and third, and fourth...)

Look, I don't have a clue what is happening in practice nor do I know what will happen during season. I don't know which QB will play (I do believe Franks starts) but I think he bombs and someone else will have to step in. If that happens to be Trask, I will be rooting for him hard. I want someone to succeed and I could care less what his name is or where he came from or how many yards he has run in the past. I want to win just like everyone else. Claiming to know something you don't doesn't help.

Franks bombed at Kentucky last year. It will be very interesting to see how he - and the rest of the offense - does against essentially the same defense. We’ll get an early clue about the reality of all this hype about S&C, the new offense, our poised weapons and Franks’ progress under the new staff and in the new scheme. Just a clue, though. The real tests come later...

If we blow out Ky with defense & special teams play it will indicate a longer process.

You are probably right. So I should give it to Donkey with both barrels if he is wrong?

As long as he doesn't fart in my general direction I'll be OK.

Guys..... THIS IS WHAT MULLINZ BALL IS. What are you expecting really? He is just as like to post a 110th ranked passing offense as a 50th. He was worse than Nussdrunk last year in many measurements.

What are you ACTUALLY expecting? 2007 or 2008? W Franks, a freshman, and Trash? And a Sunbelt level OL? Really?

We will get about half of what we got in 2005.... at best. Frankly 2005 had three times the offensive talent, w bluechippers and AllSEC talent. Hell it was the #1 SEC offense the year before. It will be worse offensively tha that, but maybe better on D

Can you please take all your “Mullinz sucks” talking points and put them in your sig so they don’t clog up every thread every day? Would save you time and sanity (what little you have left) as well...
