Who does Dominique Franks think he is, Anthony Smith? Can’t wait for Heisman runner-up Tim Tebow to size up the 6-foot, 189-pound Franks and truck him the way he runs over most undersized defensive banks:

Franks said Florida quarterback Tim Tebow would “probably be about the fourth-best quarterback in our conference” behind Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford, Texas’ Colt McCoy and Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell. He added that as a defensive back, preparing for Tebow’s physical running style and 20 passing attempts a game is easier than facing a Big 12 quarterback who throws “40 or 50 times.”

Said Franks: “Hopefully he’ll throw me the ball a couple of times and I’ll get my hands on it. On Jan. 8, we’ll see.”

The last time someone talked trash about Tebow … he got hurt prior to the game and didn’t even play. Franks should be careful at practice this week. And in the dining hall. And in his bathtub.
