Feleipe Franks shouldn’t be the Florida Gators' starting quarterback

My good friend and senior by credits, Alanis Thames, wrote in her column on Tuesday that Florida Gators quarterback Feleipe Franks doesn’t deserve all of the blame for the team’s record-breaking loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.

And she’s right.

The offensive and defensive lines were atrocious, the running game was nonexistent until the fourth quarter and his receivers dropped several easy catches.

But Alanis is also wrong. She wrote in her column that whether Florida fans like it or not, they are stuck with Feleipe Franks. That simply just isn’t true.

Dan Mullen should bench Franks from the starting spot for one very important, overarching reason: He cannot play under pressure.
