Missouri got a huge victory today over Georgia 41-26. They finished the game without their starting QB James Franklin who left the game with a shoulder injury. According to Bruce Feldman, the Tigers will be without Franklin for at least 6 weeks with a grade 2 shoulder separation:

This is a tough break for the Tigers who have been the surprise of the SEC and a team rising quickly in the National Championship discussion. It’s time to see if Maty Mauk can keep it going.
Update****
ESPN is reporting that Franklin will miss the remainder of the regular season.
Pinkel said he didn’t know the degree of Franklin’s separation, but he would know more Sunday. A source told ESPN’s Brett McMurphy that Franklin suffered a second-degree separation and is out the remainder of the regular season.
