re: This loss isn't on Franks.

think Franks and pass defense are equally to blame, tbh. We're definitely not going to compete for championships with Franks at QB. We have a good chance of winning 10 games this season, which is a successful first season no matter what, but I'm ready for Emory or Jalon.

It's all I've been saying.

However: No, it's not equally on the defense. The defense held Georgia (despite terrible field position) within six points at half. Our defense held them 7 times on the goal line.

Franks had 85 yards in three and a half quarters, which is inexcusable no matter what the circumstances. Those yards don't just measure distance, they measure time of possession.

Time of possession means less plays with a defense that doesn't have its legs and is missing three different starting defensive backs.

This is solely on Franks' shoulders, he missed wide open passes (including one for an easy touchdown), at this level if you seriously can't see a wide open checkdown, you are not going to advance.
