• PRACTICE REPORTS!!!!!
  PowerMizzou: Thursday practice report

  One of the biggest things I've noticed through two days of practice is Franklin's constant use of the running backs in the passing game. Last season, it didn't seem like the running backs were a big part of the passing game, even in dump-off situations. But, I'm not saying Franklin's use of the running backs is a good thing. Sometimes, it seems like Franklin might be too cautious, and instead of trying to make a play downfield, he's dumping it off to a running back in the flat. It's happened so often over the first two practices that it may be a concern. If he wants to win the starting job, he's going to have to take some shots downfield.
