Franks made some real strides this year but it really showed yesterday. Like many others I was ready to see what Trask could do after the Mizzou loss but I guess that just wasn't meant to be. If we really do draw UCF in the bowl game I want to see the best the Gators can bring so I believe that's Franks. Charlie
