Connor Cook’s time has come.
After injuries to Oakland Raider quarterbacks Derek Carr and Matt McGloin, the rookie out of MSU will get his first career start on Saturday as the Raiders face the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs.
“I’m just embracing the opportunity,” Cook told reporters. “I’m going to go out there, have fun, just let it all hang out and I’m obviously (going to) prepare my butt off and do what I’ve been doing all season long and just go out there and have fun with my teammates.
