With Missouri quarterback Brady Cook now significantly injured at both ends, it’s going to be difficult to stir up much optimism about where the rest of the Tigers’ season goes from here.
Whatever College Football Playoff window remained open upon the Tigers’ arrival in Alabama is closed now, slammed shut by the two-loss Crimson Tide’s 34-point domination of a Mizzou team that once again lost Cook to injury early in a game, this time without a heroic and victorious return.
Mizzou’s two big road trips this season — at Texas A&M and at Alabama — have resulted in two losses by a combined score of 75-10.
