Franklin's first two years as a starter netted him 31-18 with a far better supporting cast.

16-9 was Gabbert's last season at Mizzou. It was very pedestrian and included some serious choke jobs.
After upsetting Oklahoma to rise to 6 in the country, he went 18-42 against Nebraska and 12-30 against Tech in consecutive weeks. The Tech game was an unmitigated disaster.
First drive: 3 plays...3 runs...80 yards...7-0 Mizzou
Second drive: 3 plays...1 run followed by 2 incomplete passes...punt
Third drive: 2 plays...2 runs...80 yards...TD...14-0 Mizzou.
Three drives into the game, we had thrown 2 passes for 0 yards and had 6 runs for 182 yards and 2 TDs. We lost. Final stats...30 passes for 95 yards...31 rushes for 260 yards.
I'm not here to shit on Gabbert, but saying that we would be better with him than we currently are is ridiculous. Blaine's down games were horrendous, and not rare enough to make that claim.
