On Monday afternoon Dan Mullen stood by his redshirt sophomore quarterback Feleipe Franks following Franks’ 13-of-21, one touchdown and one lost fumble performance in a loss to Georgia. On Saturday he benched Franks when the Gators were down 35-10.
After the game Mullen, once again, stood by Franks.
“Feleipe missed a throw or two, but he’s also getting hit. We’ve got wide guys open, and I’m looking like ‘What’s going on?’ and then all the sudden the ball sails and I’ll jump on him and there he is with three guys being pulled off the top of him,” Mullen said.
