From Lamborghini's to QBs, it's all the same to Mullen

According to Dan Mullen, playing quarterback is a bit like driving a sports car. Despite the promise of power, it’s often wise to heed the warnings of speed limits and stop signs.

“If I hand you a Lamborghini, it doesn’t mean you have to drive 150 miles-an-hour every second of every day,” said the first-year Florida football head coach.

Like a Lamborghini, redshirt sophomore Feleipe Franks’ arm strength can certainly impress. But Mullen wants Franks to learn how to give his engine a rest at times. More often than not, the Gators’ offense needs a simple pass that won’t make a highlight compilation.
