At first with the Franklin injury I was thinking Mizzou is screwed. But with the 3 good RB's and lots of good WR's, O-line blocking well I have a feeling players will reach down deep and play harder. Anyone else feel that way??? Or am I too positive.
Being 6-0 will do a lot for a teams confidence.

So basically this is asking if Mauk will step up. I hope, but I don't think so. And even if he plays okay, the playbook is now cut in half.

Maybe they'll stop being cute with the runs and start throwing more of the slants over the middle that work every fricking time.

I still think Mauk can get it done. With the right preperation, he has the tools and the talent. Don't really need anyone else to step up maybe except for Bagget the place kicker. But we really need to see where Franklin is and whats going on with him. He did look like he was in some pain with the sling on.
The Defense did much better today than I thought they would. They pressured Murray and forced some turnovers and did a decent job in the secondary.

Frank was rolling, it's a shame to see him go down again.
I hope Maty doesn't get big eyes in the SEC but it's going to be rough going forward. At least it's not a rerun of CB.

I think we saw this very thing happen today. They were going nowhere, until Franklin went out, then several kids stepped up to make plays to grab the momentum back and secure the win.

Size is a tool he doesn't have. Strength is a tool he doesn't have. Ability to see all the layers of the plays is a talent he doesn't have.

You're saying this hours after we know what is going on with him, that he is done for 6 weeks (at least). Now why should I take anything else you say with any weight when you don't even know the severity of an injury that has been public for hours.

You cannot be serious.

Rumblings around saying the 6 week thing isn't legit at this point and everyone's going on rumors. Has there been a real announcement from someone official-ish yet?
I don't doubt it, but the rumblings are giving me hope.

If the coaches do this we may go down, you have to prepare the kid and still call an aggressive game. This team is not built to win via ball control and D

I guess he secured the second spot behind Franklin for shits and giggles. I'm not going to set here and second guess your conjecture. Franklin had plenty of faults and it got him hurt today because the guy couldn't figure out when to run and when to just throw the ball away. Tit for tat. Mauks the man. Deal with it. Truth is, you nor I have no idea what Mauk can accomplish until he's put in the situation. He's in it now. He secured a win in one of the toughest stadiums to win in in the country and the coaching staff was holding him back. He looked pretty good to me when he ran and he completed a couple tough passes. He just needs some prep time and snaps behind center to get there. Size is not everything, it's just one thing. Mauk was a highly successful HS QB. Remember, Mauk wouldn't be the only "undersized" QB to run this offense, Chase Daniel ring a bell?

Would your statement be somewhat contradictory and brash? You just stated that hours after his injury that we know whats going on with him, then state at the end of the quote that you don't know the severity of his injury. How can you be certain he will be out for 6 weeks if you don't know the severity of the injury? Is this not what I was saying in the first place? "Wait and see" I think is what I said.....?
In the end, I could really care less if YOU take anything I say with any weight.

I can remember announcers saying he was recruited by ND, Michigan, and some other schools..The kid must be really good. Glad Mizzou landed him.
Actually think it was the B1G announcers from the Indiana game. They was basically saying there will be no drop off when Franklin leaves.

Too positive. We won't be nearly as good with Mauk. What a complete 180 from my thoughts a year ago. We may still win another game or 2 but it won't be as efficient as it has been.

Im not sure. We all need to give the kid a week with the 1st team O in practice.
There is not question that this team is better with Franklin but lets see what Mauk has before we all just write off the season.

Can't believe this is happening to Mizzou, wow the team was on fire. Sheesh.

I agree reedus to a point. Until Mauk gets some experience, we won't know for sure. Thats why they have coaches. It's not only Mauks responsability to perform well, but the coaching staffs responsability to have him ready and play to his stregths. Kid is a flat out passing machine and can run the ball. I remember when Franklin was looked at in the same way.
What happened to all the Mauk fans from over the summer?

I agree it's bad timing to go with a new QB. But it's the cards we're delt.

I think many withered away as Franklin proved that his performance was because of his own injuries as well as the offensive lines injuries.

We'll be different with Mauk, and that might be okay. I always think back to what the Bears did with Kyle Orton when Grossman went down. Conservative (but not too conservative), get him in there and don't let him make mistakes.
I think there's still a shot as long as there's not 30 fricking swing passes/backfield passes a game.
Keep it simple, give him passes he can complete, and get it going.
