FILE - In this Sept. 22, 2012, file photo, Missouri quarterback James Franklin reaches back to pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. Franklin struggled at No. 6 South Carolina, throwing for only 92 yards on 11-of-18 passing. Coach Gary Pinkel and teammates still believe in Franklin, who said his confidence has taken a beating since suffering a shoulder injury Sept. 8 against Georgia. (AP Photo/Brett Flashnick, File) less
