Franklin assured Turner he was starter

Offensive coordinator James Franklin says he assured Chris Turner that he is the starting quarterback.

"Chris texted me Sunday and wanted to know if anything had changed, and I said, 'No,' " Franklin said.

Franklin said the plan all season has been to find playing time for backup Jamarr Robinson in the right spots.

Robinson had been set to play some against Clemson a few weeks ago, Franklin said. But the quarterback strained a back muscle prior to the game.

Franklin said there "is no doubt" that Turner as a starter gives the Terps the best chance to win.
