Traumatized? By Iowa? Good gawd... this is just embarrassing.As if starting Franks would be a better option than Appleby? Franks would be traumatized. Anyone who actually thought he was gonna pull a redshirt for 1 bowl game was foolish.

Did you not see Franks in the spring game? He'd struggle against an FCS school
Why the F did we recruit and sign him then? I keep hearing wait till he has "his guys" in there at qb (despite the fact that bees/rio are his guys). Now that its a good time for, and most everyone wants to see his guys, the new talking point is they couldn't handle an FCS defense.Did you not see Franks in the spring game?

This guy is really good and we currently suck at the position he plays... so let's go ahead and not play him... said no good coach, ever.If Franks ain't good enough to start by the bowl game I doubt he's gonna be any better next fall. His been on campus for 11 months, plenty of time to develop.
We open on the road against Michigan next year. Is that a wise time for his first start?
He either sux or he's so good that they really want to save a year of eligibility. You can decide for yourself which is more likely.

It will have been just shy of a year since the spring game when the bowl game occurs. If he cant beat an FCS school after a year on the team, on the practice field and in the playbook then, once again, why did we sign him?
There is no way you can get around this... Mac either made yet another boneheaded evaluation of a qb, or the staff cant develop one good enough to beat a team that averages about 14 points a game. So which is it? I'll hang up and listen.
I hope by end of next year you mean beginning of next fall when the season startsI just don't think Franks is ready. And, I don't know if Mac is the guy or not right now. I'm willing to wait until the end of next year to see if he can field a component offense but right now my guy is telling me he isn't gonna make it.

What if the freshman don't want their redshirts pulled for a meaningless game
