Feleipe Franks – Noteworthy
Feleipe Franks placed his index finger across his lips after both touchdown runs, sending a message to a home crowd that booed him earlier. After the second one, there was nothing Franks could have done to silence the Florida faithful. Franks accounted for three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with a little more than four minutes remaining, and the 19th-ranked Gators rallied to beat South Carolina 35-31 Saturday and end a two-game losing streak. “I’m a super emotional player,” Franks said. “That what makes it a two-way street. Lots of people are going to like me and lots of people aren’t going to like me. Maybe that’s something I shouldn’t have did. But at the same time, I’m an emotional player. I want to win as much as anybody in the world. I’m an emotional guy. That’s the way I play my game. I do apologize for that.” Franks dived across the goal line on fourth down from inside the 1-yard line to put the Gators (7-3, 5-3 Southeastern Conference, No. 15 CFP) ahead for the first time all day and for good. – AP College Football
