Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks found a measure of redemption against his biggest critics during Saturday's comeback victory over South Carolina.

Franks has been a constant target for the Gators' fan base, with many fans upset about his relative inaccuracy throughout the year.

The sophomore simply heard enough and shushed the crowd after punching in a 10-yard rushing touchdown during the second quarter.

Franks wasn't done there, however. After trailing 31-14 during the third quarter, he engineered a Gators comeback, punctuating the victory on a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:09 remaining in the fourth quarter. Franks wasn't going to let Florida's faithful enjoy the victory in relative peace, as he shushed the crowd again after the score.

It appears Franks is fed up. Perhaps the fans will ease up on him as Florida marches on throughout the year.
