COLUMBIA, Mo. – Brady Cook did his part to end speculation about the quarterback job for Missouri in a season-opening 35-10 win over South Dakota.
The incumbent completed 17 of 21 passes in the first half, throwing and running for touchdowns in front of 50,434 fans at Faurot Field on Thursday night.
Coach Eli Drinkwitz’s vow to play at least two quarterbacks didn’t materialize until the second half after Mizzou had opened a 28-3 halftime lead.
The Tigers scored on four of six possessions with Cook under center before Sam Horn appeared and received far fewer snaps.
