A quarter of the season in Florida should miss the rest of the season

Florida Gators quarterback, Feleipe Franks, will likely miss the rest of the season after being dislocated at the right ankle during the 29-21 win on Saturday night on the Kentucky Highway.

"They are confident that the dislocation has taken place and that he will have finished his season," said Florida coach Dan Mullen to the press after the game.

Franks, who started 23 games on Saturday, was injured in the third quarter with 11 points ahead of his team. The ankle was immediately placed in an inflatable cast iron and he was transported off the field, surrounded by his teammates.

"I went there and I was with him, you know, told him we all love him, we are by his side, and everything will be fine," said Mullen. "I think the team [gathering around Franks] shows what it means for the team, and what the team thinks of it, you know as a team leader and the type of guy that he is how hard he works to do it. And, show a lot about him and what the team thinks.

"It really shows the respect they have for his leadership and his love for him – it's a pretty close team and these guys work hard for these things, you know." tragedy when that happens. "

Dan Mullen is saddened by the loss of Feleipe Franks, but explains why he is happy that Kyle Trask had the opportunity to go into the spotlight.

Franks was replaced by junior Kyle Trask, who completed his first four passes and ended his training by throwing the ball to Lamical Perine, who had 8 yards for a touchdown. Trask then participated in the starting touchdown with 4 minutes and 11 seconds in the game.

"Kyle was waiting for his moment," Mullen told ESPN. "The team believes in him and we think he's a starter, just like Feleipe … he never doubted that he could do the job."
