Appleby is the starter. SMH

quote:

Florida coach Jim McElwain announces that Austin Appleby will start this weekend at QB for the Gators against South Carolina. True freshman Feleipe Franks has been getting the most reps behind Appleby and could also play this weekend as well, but that hasn't been determined yet. "We're not afraid at any point of playing him. ... As we move forward we need a spark (on offense." McElwain added that Franks' upside "is huge."

I'm not going to think either way on Appleby until I see him playing at home. He played twice on the road, and playing Tennessee at Tennessee is no place to have your first real-time snaps.

He seemed to actually get the ball downfield pretty easy, and his timing was lightyears ahead of Del Rio.

So, maybe, he comes in and gives us that spark we've so depserately needed.

But I have a really good feeling about Franks, but only in a year or two. I don't think he's ready yet, but he can definitely be worked into a very good quarterback.

It sounds like Applybe will be the starter the rest of the year unless he is injured. If we were going to play one of the freshmen QBs then this is the game.
