Gary Pinkel tells Tiger QB Club James Franklin was in tears after the game. Says he's out 3-5 weeks, was doing much better yesterday.

If Franklin is out five weeks, he misses four games (Florida, SC, UK, Tennessee). Could return for Ole Miss, TAMU

Pinkel said he read injury report on ESPN Saturday night. "It was wrong as usual."

Mauk will start vs UF. Berkstresser will be backup. Staff will prep Eddie Printz as No 3 QB, per Pinkel

Pinkel said if shoulder injury was to left shoulder Franklin would only miss one week

Pinkel: I got the most texts I've ever gotten after that game. Total = 87

Pinkel on Mauk: My big thing with him is just go play.

Pinkel said Missouri turned "a bunch of things in" to the league office, as far as calls from the Georgia game.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) October 14, 2013
Pinkel said Missouri turned in the play where Franklin got hurt because he thought the ball was out before the 2nd guy came in.

Pinkel asked about Georgia injuries: "They didn't have many injuries on defense."
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) October 14, 2013
Pinkel says Missouri won't do anything different with Mauk in: "We're going to run our offense."

Two things:
A. Pinkel is salty today. Love it.
B. Assuming recovery goes as planned, then, we haven't seen the last of James Franklin in uniform on Faurot Field. That's fantastic news.
