James Franklin has almost identical stats as JFF this season and they have played comparable opponents. James Franklin and JFF played roughly the same amount of time in the first game (JFF suspended half the game and Mizzou used second and third string qb in second half). Toledo was 9-3 in 2012 regular season and Sam Houston State was 10-3 and they played similar opponents. Rice was 6-6 while Murray State was 5-6 in 2012.

James Franklin stats:

Game 1 vs. Murray State
26/38 - 68.4% completion
318 yds passing
3 TD 0 INT
6 atts 44yds rushing (26 yds long)
Passer rating 164.8
QB rating 88.8

Game 2 vs. Toledo
16/25 - 64% completion
212 yds passing
1 TD 1 INT
17 atts 77 yds rushing (21 long)
Passer rating 140.4
QB rating 78.9


JFF Stats:

Game 1 vs. Rice
6/8 - 75% completion
94 yds passing
3 TD 0 INT
6 atts 19 yds rushing (21 long)
Passer rating 297.5
QB rating 84.6

Game 2 vs. Sam Houston State
28/41 - 68.3% completion
403 yds passing
3 TD 1 INT
7 atts 36 yds rushing (12 long)
Passer rating 170.1
QB rating 87.2


Why isn't James Franklin getting just as much recognition as JFF if they are playing at the same level?

Because his autograph isn't worth as much.

because they aren't on the same level. One is a Heisman trophy winner and the other is James Franklin

Because in game 1 it took Franklin 375% more attempts to throw the same number of TDs? You really think that is comparable?

He will get as much recognition once he wins Heisman and ramps up his douchebaggery

Bro, nobody had even heard of JFF for the first half of the season last year. It takes quite a while to get recognition. Plenty of players have great games. Great seasons are rare.

Did you really just try to act like Murray State is as good as Rice? Really?

and while Sam is a great FCS team I'm wondering where you get that they played similar opponents to Toledo, a FBS MAC team.

hopefully you are just trolling b/c otherwise...

Am I the only one who thought you were talking about the Vandy Head Coach for a moment and wonder wtf? Or do I not pay attention to Mizzou as much as I should.

There is a QB named James Franklin playing at Missouri? Same name at the Vandy coach?

I seriously had no idea who Mizzou's QB was.

All Franklin would have to do to get into the conversation is beat 'Bama. If he can do it against A top ranked defense then he will get more hype.

James shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Johnny.
