re: The “Box”

Well, we have to understand that we aren't in the QB room and on the sidelines....we don't know what Mullen told Franks pregame and it would not surprise me that he instructed Franks to throw easy short passes till later in the game....why? Mullen is smart enough to know opponents are going to try and stop the run game and it was a great game to practice short passing game for future SEC foes.
We executed this to perfection against Moo State last year and wore their defense down.

Franks has probably been coached up to not showboat anymore....although every single game on TV yesterday had players strutting and showing biceps and being "look at me". Its just college football these days and I think Franks realize he has been the somewhat unfair poster boy image.

I was on another site and some were moaning that WRs were open downfield....but if Franks was told not to throw downfield early in game?

The key to a W against UK is no turnovers...if we do that we win by double scores.
