Florida player notes for Nov 18th, 2018


Feleipe Franks – Noteworthy
Feleipe Franks passed for 274 yards and three touchdowns – all in the first half – and No. 15 Florida ran up 600 total yards to rout overmatched Idaho 63-10 on Saturday Florida (8-3) rolled to a 49-0 lead at halftime. Gators defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown on the first play to start the onslaught. Four touchdown drives took less than two minutes and the longest of the seven first-half scoring drives came in 2:24. Franks completed 19 of 27 passes and led the Gators to a 42-0 lead before he was lifted with 5:22 left in the second quarter. His effort was in sharp contrast from his last two outings, both at home, when he drew boos for inconsistent play.

“It doesn’t really matter to me what people think about how I played,” the redshirt sophomore said. “That’s what I have coaches for. So you know, that’s the only thing that matters to me, what they think. I don’t think it was trying to bounce back, or I don’t think it was none of that. I think it was just keeping your head down and keep on moving.trying to be the best you can be each and every day. That’s what I’m going to continue to do not only in football but throughout life.” Freshman Emory Jones, in just his third game this season, played all but two minutes the rest of the game. His first college TD pass was an 8-yarder to Josh Hammond to close the scoring in the first half. Jones finished 12-of-16 for 125 yards and two scores. – AP College Football
