This team is excellent because of how diverse Franklin and to a lesser extent Mauk, allow our offense to be, especially in third down situations.
Franklin's abilities as a runner cannot be underestimated. Moreover, he's simply a more accurate passer than Gabbert and he didn't have the inclination to watch the line that Gabbert had.
No, I don't believe for a minute we'd be undefeated with Gabbert under center. It's hard to say he'd have cost us more than a game or so with us so routinely winning these games fairly easily, but I think we'd have a couple of losses on our schedule to this point.
