So this is what it feels like to have a quarterback who can run. We didn’t know it at the time, but Brady Cook’s start against Army was a harbinger of things to come, with Connor Bazelak announcing his transfer the morning after the game. Cook was everything he was billed to be against the Black Knights, going 27-for-34 and 238 yards passing with no interceptions and a touchdown. Efficient. Mistake free (if you don’t count that two-point conversion throw as his fault.)
The real breath of fresh air, however, were Cook’s active legs. The Chaminade product scampered for a 30-yard touchdown run on the first drive, and totaled 53 yards on 9 carries throughout the game.
