Count senior running back Mark Thompson in the camp that thinks Feleipe Franks should have gotten more run in the Florida Gators 33-17 loss to Michigan last Saturday.
Franks, making his first career start, played he first half, completing 5-of-8 passes for 75 yards. There was a fumble, when right guard Fred Johnson stepped on Franks’ foot, but Franks recovered. He came out of the locker room with a 17-13 lead but Michigan quickly drove down the field to score, taking a 20-17 lead. Then Tyrie Cleveland fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Michigan made it 23-13. Franks was tackled during a three-yard scramble and fumbled.
