Mizzou Football Links

There are good weeks, and there are bad weeks. It appears Mizzou Football is having a bad week. Corbin Berkstresser is almost certainly suspended, and Tavon Bolden has been dismissed. This, of course, won't matter if James Franklin is healthy in September, and if other safeties continue to develop. Still ... the safety net has developed a couple of holes.

• Berkstresser
  The Trib: Missouri QB arrested for leaving scene of accident
  KC Star (Campus Corner): Missouri QB arrested for leaving scene of accident
  Post-Dispatch: Mizzou's No. 2 QB is arrested
• Bolden
  The Trib: Missouri safety dismissed from team, again
  KC Star: Missouri safety Tavon Bolden dismissed from team

But in happier news...
