Three things we learned this week:

1. Redshirt freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks isn't learning from experience.

After the loss to LSU, Franks vowed that Florida's offensive problems would be addressed and worked on in practice. On Saturday, the Gators showed no signs of progress in the passing game.

The same issues that plagued the passing attack in the 17-16 loss to LSU – Franks' tendency to stare down receivers, inability to read defenses and lack of pocket presence – were on display again in the 19-17 loss to Texas A&M. The first-year starter is gaining game experience, but he is not showing any sign of growth or development from that experience.
