They were also 16th in the country in rushing and he was 2nd on the team in receiving while scoring 12 TDs.  And yes his numbers did fall without Franklin.

Yep.  Also, this feels like your typical Big 12 matchup because Mizzou was in that conference until 2 years ago.  It doesn't really feel special.

There are two games being played tonight?  

 

It's strange to watch one game and not have the cutback to another game to see highlights.

 

Two high-level games, no reference that I've noticed to either by the networks.  As if each were existing in a vaccum.  Makes me realize how ubiquitious ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNfamily games are.  They always have so many cut ins to games on their network (which I enjoy until I think they are missing the beginning of a play...when I start to curse at the TV).  This evening illustrates to me how keen they are on cross-promoting vs how keen they are on keeping me informed.  Totally understand, just feeling a bit of realiztion.

 

Go Tigers!  (Clemson....no dog in this fight)

Maty Mauk

Am I the only one who thinks Mauk has been better than Franklin tonight?  Earlier in the game he drove them down the field twice, whereas Franklin has thrown an INT and been involved in two fumbles.
