Everyone from Mullen, who was so pissed at the O-line that he was swearing on the radio broadcast to the analysts on WRUF to Lee McGriff to the TV analysts noted our O-line had serious run-block issues.
By my count, at least 10 people last night either on radio or TV flatly stated that our run blocking was not what it should have been against UT Martin and that if that continues, the inability to establish any kind of run threat is going to be a serious problem for our passing game against better teams.
I suppose we could all be wrong - all of them and all the posters here - or maybe, just maybe there is actually a problem with the O-line's ability to run-block that is independent of Franks. I know which explanation is more parsimonious, hence why I am also more worried about that than the QB situation right now.
If UT Martin can shut us down for a half running what they were running, it's going to be tough sledding against legit defenses regardless of who is QB.

Lucious, this why I brought up the TE situation. We don't have a stout TE that can be counted on to effectively run block...my suggestion is not to have TEs on the field, except maybe Kitts as a WR and put in an extra OL to help create run lanes.
This why I am wondering if Franks was given marching orders by Mullen to practice short passes for future opponents, then throw a few bombs. Cause if we cant run well against LSU, UGA then we are doomed unless the defense plays lights out and keeps us in the game.
