STARKVILLE, Miss. — Brady Cook and Luther Burden III have combined for a score of scores.
A score, if you think back to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, refers to a bunch of 20. It also means a touchdown.
So: 20 times, Brady Cook has thrown a football and Luther Burden III has caught it in the end zone for the Tigers.
Twenty is not an especially large volume when it comes to throwing or catching a football. Cook threw the ball 20 times just in Missouri’s 39-20 victory at Mississippi State on Saturday, for example. Burden has caught nine scores worth of passes in his three-year college career.
