Florida quarterbacks are dropping like open passes this season.
Injuries have sidelined four scholarship signal callers, the most recent being Malik Zaire, who is out for the Gators’ home matchup with UAB (7-3) after suffering a knee injury in UF’s 28-20 loss to South Carolina on Saturday.
And while the injuries guarantee Feleipe Franks will start on Saturday, questions concerning his lack of a backup lingered until being answered Monday by interim coach Randy Shannon.
Shannon said receiver Dre Massey will step in as second-string quarterback.
“He was a quarterback in high school,” Shannon said.
