UF coach Dan Mullen said Gators' QB competition will be wide open

Feleipe Franks proved last season he can handle the Florida Gators’ quarterback job.

This spring, Franks will have to prove he can keep it.

Franks appeared to have a stranglehold on the starting job following a strong finish to the 2018 season, culminating with lopsided wins at Florida State and against Michigan in the Peach Bowl.

Mullen is not so sure.

Asked Monday how much it helps to have a so-called “QB 1” in place, Mullen replied, “Is it set? I don’t have any positions set. I’ve never had a position set. I just love competition.
