Missouri has its senior captain back at quarterback. Coach Gary Pinkel said Monday that James Franklin is ''100 percent cleared'' and will lead the eighth-ranked Tigers at Ole Miss this weekend after missing four starts with a sprained throwing shoulder. The quarterback had been enjoying a career season through five games and positioned his team for a win at Georgia on Oct. 12 before getting slammed to the ground by two defenders. ''Even if they told me I would've been done for sure,'' Franklin said, ''I would've worked as hard as I could to come back.'' The 6-foot-2, 230-pound native of Corinth, Texas, watched Missouri (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) compile a 3-1 record with redshirt freshman Maty Mauk, who had thrown three career passes before relieving Franklin against the Bulldogs.
