For four years the Florida Gators defense would go to practice with Feleipe Franks in an orange non-contact jersey. On Saturday, Franks will be lined up in a white jersey with “Arkansas” written in red across his chest.
And Florida’s defense will be seeing red all night.
“In practice, you cannot touch that quarterback. If you touch that quarterback you’re going to be in trouble,” linebacker James Houston said. “It’s fun hitting someone that you couldn’t lay a finger on for four years. It should be fun seeing how that D-line especially gets after it.”
Franks’ 2019 season was ended with a gruesome tackle that broke his leg against Kentucky.
