I think he's back. I believe it was the Duke game ... when it was the first game he really didn't think about his knee and that's a good sign. And I think he's going to continue to get better as the year progresses.

confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.

It was a little spirited today. It gets hot and tempers flare a little bit.
body covering good great guy pleasantly smaller surprised switching
I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.
It would have been a storybook drive. But you have to finish.
