COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri quarterback Brady Cook returned from a mid-game trip to the hospital to have an MRI exam on his ailing ankle and led his team to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the go-ahead run by Jamal Roberts with 46 seconds remaining that gave the Tigers a 21-17 victory over Auburn on Saturday.
Cook was hurt on the opening series and did not return until late in the third quarter, after his hospital trip and a session in the nearby indoor practice facility where Missouri coaches wanted to see whether his ankle could properly function.
