Franks will never be good enough. Looking right at you Mullens. What a bad joke.

Canes fans should be happy, they finally found a good QB. Williams will be good for them.
Once he learns how to be a QB. He might've cost him this one.
Kids a playmaker. Give him time.
Gator D is a tough challenge for a first year player.
Congrats. But it looked like neither team wanted to win. Franks will cost you guys games this year. With his experience why would you throw the ball (into three defenders) with 4 min to go and up by 4?
This game was a complete **** show riddled with mistakes and untimely penalties. It was like watching Louisiana-Monroe vs Liberty,

I like Florida in this one by about 6
23-17 something like that
Man, that game aged me at least 5 years.
This game was won by our front 7 and the punting unit. Tommy doesn't barely beat that guy to the sideline and get the first down, Toney doesn't get that TD on the next play. And they won us the field position battle tonight. And that muffed punt recovered by Jefferson saved us when we looked dead in the water.
Very sloppy game all around. We had a **** ton of penalties, but the Canes had even more. 4 turnovers, all of them at horribly inopportune times. Bad officiating both ways too. Miami got away with multiple holds on their 90 yard TD drive in the 2nd quarter, and we had a ticky-tack PI go our way in the middle of a game. Trey Dean got called for PI when his feet got tangled with the receiver's. I don't think Miami even recovered that fumbled pitch from Franks to Davis but we didn't even try to force a review.
Lots of boneheaded, undisciplined plays from our guys. Franks INT in the 4th quarter, lots of bullshit going on after the whistle, PI on 4th and 34. Gotta get that cleaned up before we get into conference play. I have to say Bob, I share your Franks skepticism now. That deep throw to Hammond was beautiful, but not much else was. Just not sure he's gonna be the right fit for this offense.
This game was about what I expected. A relatively low-scoring defensive slugfest. Our offensive line I think performed decently given what they were up against. Miami's front 7 is very robust and really made it extremely difficult for us to establish the run. Malik Davis isn't going to see much action if he can't hang on to the ball. Perine took some major shots from Miami's LBs. Hope he spends some time in the cold tub. Receivers played well whenever the ball came their way. This is what scares me with Franks. We have so much talent at the skill positions. We can not waste it.
Defensively, it was a double edged sword. Front 7 was outstanding. 10 sacks, took advantage of the mismatches on the edges, and got after the young QB playing his first college game. Run D was fairly stout, but gave up a few long runs.
Secondary had a tough night with all the penalties. Stewart was suspended, so the rumors were true. We need him bad, because behind him, we've got ISSUES at safety.
Overall, this looked very much like a first game for both teams and the zebras with all the mistakes. But an ugly win is a win, especially over the damn Canes. I was pretty impressed by the UM defense, especially their LBs. Those guys are NFLers. Williams was inexperienced and it showed, but he made some confident throws throughout the game. There's only so much you can do when you're running for your life like that though. Their schedule is pretty favorable from here on out, so we'll see how the season pans out for them.
Luckily, we've got a bye followed by a weak opponent to hopefully clean some of this stuff up.
I'm tired. Go Gators
