Florida Football: Gators in need of bounce back win over Colorado State

2. Feleipe Franks gets right

It’s been an interesting career for Feleipe Franks. After winning the starting quarterback job out of camp a year ago, Franks was benched and later jostled up and down the depth chart as Jim McElwain struggled to produce a consistent offense

Franks was trusted with the reigns once again in 2018 and has been much better than he was a year ago. He’s thrown seven touchdowns and one interception over his first two starts, but only completed 44.7 percent of his passes in the loss to Kentucky.

The Wildcats have a stout pass defense whereas Colorado State has a porous secondary, at best. Through three games the Rams have allowed 894 yards and nine touchdowns against them through the air.

Franks doesn’t even need to have his A-game and he’ll roll out of bed and throw three touchdowns. But he’s much more talented than that. Five touchdowns for Franks and a crisp 400 yards passing for the intrepid third-year quarterback.
