Does he think he does not have talent?
I dunno, I'd want my QB with more confidence than that.

I expect that we will see all three QBs, unless one is doing spectacularly well.
If Franks is starting, it is quite likely their game plan is to try an throw a lot of quick passes (and screens) early (and a couple of max protect long balls), to test Michigan's secondary's coverage and tackling, and to nullify Michigan's pass rush and tire them out a bit, before bringing in Zaire or Del Rio who can run.

Florida is going to attempt an Air Raid offense this game. I bet they throw it 50 times.
August 30th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
If they abandon the run like that, they'll get their 3 QBs killed! I can't imagine the carnage if the DL and LBs can just tee off without run support worries...

Florida's best shot is the old gun and pray that PSU adopted last year. Max protect or play action and then bomb it.

As PSU showed against Michigan last year, though, that doesn't work as well when you're facing a dominant defensive line. Max protect is good at picking up blitzers, but it doesn't help as much when you're facing guys like Gary and Hurst who can win their individual matchups. In addition, Penn State had a number of good receivers last year, something that Florida doesn't seem to have for this game.
I think Florida's optimal strategy against our inexperienced secondary is the opposite - throw a bunch of quick, short passes. That negates our pressure, and forces Michigan's young guys to consistently make the correct play over and over. As Don Brown said in his presser, they're just starting to pick up how to defend bunch formations and picks, so it seems like that might be the thing they should test.

Heh, heh.

I'm not sure which team is suffering a worse implosion.
