Feleipe Franks took the snap and then a few steps towards the line of scrimmage. The 6’5” quarterback stopped, jumped up and connected with Van Jefferson in the end zone for a touchdown.
The jump pass has a special place in the hearts of Florida fans. Tim Tebow first hit it against LSU in a 23-10 win but the jump pass was in Dan Mullen’s playbook long before that. On Saturday Franks admitted that he hadn’t seen the two previous jump passes at Florida but he did his homework before meeting with the media on Monday and had watched both.
