Franks was garbage. But Mullen will use that game to show him what he needs to improve the next few weeks. And hopefully gets him to stop interacting with the crowd and keep his head in the game.

I have faith in Mullen. We may not beat LSU or Georgia based on what I saw, but we have time to fix things. It was the first game for crying out loud. We make tons of mistakes in the first game, but usually face a crap opponent, so it gets masked a bit.

I knew that Franks would struggle. But he was supposed to have matured.

Showboating after scoring a 2 yard TD, mugging in the camera, talking shite to fans, punting the ball in the stands.

And the worst - Actually telling ESPN he was throwing the ball away on the 2nd INT?

Hes a headcase, and he hasn't matured at all since his RS freshman year starting.

The OL played well in pass protection. I believe they can get better at run blocking, which should be easier to improve than pass blocking.

The DL is really good. The secondary, aside from Hendo and Davis was very suspect at tackling and playing coverage. So many bone headed penalties.

The LBs were better than I expected, with both Miller and Houston looking very good. Houston was an idiot for getting that roughing penalty on their kicker.

My opinion on the skill players hasn't changed. They are very good.

Mullen's playcalls were extremely weird and full of no rhythm or flow to the game (perhaps a lot of that was due to turnovers). But still no touches for Toney after the first few drives other than the 1 reverse where he lost yardage?

Almost forgetting we have a very good WR core? Barely using the TEs?

Last night was an absolute abomination. Luckily MOST of that can be fixed.

But the biggest question mark is not the OL anymore. Its Franks. Its always been Franks.

If he plays like that, we WILL lose at least 4 games minimum. You can take that to the bank.
