The battle to replace Blaine Gabbert as Missouri's starting quarterback is over. His younger brother, Tyler, has decided to transfer. Coach Gary Pinkel said Monday that redshirt freshman Tyler Gabbert is leaving, ending the competition with sophomore James Franklin to succeed Blaine Gabbert as the Tigers' signal-caller. Both players entered spring practice with what coaches called an equal shot at the starting job. Franklin was elevated to the top of the depth chart entering the fall after a stronger performance in the spring game. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns, while Gabbert finished 8 of 22 for just 48 yards and the game's only interception. "We wish Tyler the best and will do everything we can to assist him going forward," Pinkel said. "He's worked very hard in our program this past year, and we thank him for his efforts."
