Graduate transfer Austin Appleby will be Florida’s starting quarterback against South Carolina on Saturday, but there’s a chance true freshman Feleipe Franks also could play, UF coach Jim McElwain said Wednesday.
“Austin will jump out there and take the start,” McElwain said on the SEC coaches teleconference. “Feleipe has been getting a bunch of reps, and Kyle (Trask) has been getting less. So, we’ll go with Austin and Feleipe, with Kyle kind of in the bullpen.”
McElwain said he won’t hesitate to put Franks in the game if Appleby struggles.
“I know we’re not afraid at any point of playing him,” he said.
