I haven't understood the lack of use for DGB myself. You would think he would be a major weapon but he's had limited looks all year. I can't blame it all on Yost though. Mizzou is playing their Big 12 talent against SEC talent and it's showing. Until Mizzou can start getting some top 10 recruiting classes, unfortunately, things aren't going to change.

Dexter native is right take franklin out put corbin in and mizzou will b good u cnt win a game if u dnt throw downfield **** mizzou!

I dont believe all the blame can be on Yost, I would say a good part of it though. But look at the zone reads, how many times is he callin zone reads and Franklin makes the wrong decision and it goes for a negative play. How many times against SC did Franklin have open recievers down field but decided to throw a 4 yard pass, and when he did decide to throw the ball further than 5 yards it wasn't even in the vicinity of the reciever. Mizzou had a 3rd and 11 on its own 19 against SC and Franklin threw a 3 yard out pattern where Mcgaffie was tackled immediately.

I never believed Franklin could take this team to the next level. To run the spread you have to have a QB that can sling it. Berk has the arm, he just needs the experience.

Chase Daniel had 971 yds rushing at 2.7 ypc in his 3 years as a starter, you dont have to be a true dual threat QB to be a great QB running the spread. I think if Berk is the QB you have to go back to a lot of the designed runs that they ran with Chase back in the day. But I think big Berk showed he can run the zone read when needed on that TD run he had against ASU when he carried 4 guys into the end zone. I know 21/41 198 yds and a pick against ASU aren't eye popping but when you look at the pressure he was under and throw on top of that, it was his first start as a Redshirt Freshman on national television against a solid ASU team....Im excited about what we have with Berk.

ASU is 3-1 with a 30 point win over Utah and a 31 point win over Illinois....ASU isn't exactly on Alabama or LSU's level, but they aren't an OVC team either.

All I said was Az State was a solid team and you are acting like I said Chaffee could beat the NY Giants. It's just my opinion.

I think Yost falls in love with too many designed QB runs. After getting murdered by SC and Georgia on those plays, he still hasn't figured out it is not going to work against top tier defenses, whether its because SEC defenses have too much speed, or its our patchwork O-line, regardless he has to change. Mizzou's RBs are averagin 5.5ypc, and hes still running Franklin 2x's as much as he is our RBs. Its also pretty pointless to go 5 wide if our QB just locks on his first option then either holds onto the ball too long and gets sacked or throws a ball into coverage that shouldn't have been thrown. And that just falls back on Yost also because he's the QB coach.

Well Yost may not be the biggest idiot after all
