My “expert” analysis, we have big problems at safety....
Franks regressed. The biggest aspect was he again misread the give/keep read on the read option at least 4-5 times. That willingness last year made a big difference and it went away.
Second, he decided where he was throwing before it developed on multiple occasions.
Overall though, I think a lot of this is on Mullen not taking my advantage of MIami’s biggest defensive weakness - safeties. We challenged them (per the tv view) limited times but with open receivers nearly every time. But we kept throwing only screens and other passes that relied on beating a good cb and very good lb’s. I just didn’t understand the offensive gameplan and avoiding attacking the safeties deep across the middle (unless Mullen flat out does not trust Franks). Neither did Spurrier understand wtf we were doing.
Somebody used "immature" when describing Franks, I agree completely.
Not an excuse, but Franks honestly didn’t have sufficient protection to be looking down the field very deep most snaps. Hopefully our o-line will gel quickly because it wasn’t doing jack shat last night. Ask our rb’s.
He was personally responsible for 4 turnovers and that game being close. He had no business running his mouth. He should've gone to the locker room after that win and apologized to his teammates for letting them down. I'm so freakin tired of his act.
"he's a character" explained it all really well from Kirk.I quoted this post to not only agree with you but say it again for all to read.
Franks needs to either stfu and worry about his performance or gtfo. I’d rather suffer with a wildcat offense all year without his bullshat than watch his punk ass act a fool one more time. Grow the fk up boy or gtfo.
Holy sheesh that's brutal hysterically brutal. I should not be reading such a comment heading off the church in a little while. Lol.Refs definitely were anti Gator. They can suck a fat one along with the cocane fans.
Completely disagree. There were a number of times Franks simply got happy feet and left a clean pocket. Even Herbstreit mentioned it. The pass protection was solid. It looked bad at times because Franks held on to the ball too long. He didn't trust what he was seeing. The run blocking was terrible.
I'm not sure Franks "sees" the field that well at all. I'm not sure he ever will. I don't think he will ever be a polished quarterback and be able to do the little things that put you on the next level.Completely disagree.

I concur. Despite all our faults this is one thing that we can feel good about.A laundry list of complaints about the game last night. One positive I'll mention is that despite a ton of adversity (most of it self imposed), UF didn't wilt under the pressure. They did what it took to win.
