Cook Out for the Night: Mizzou QB Exits Auburn Game with Injury
You know how it goes, folks. One minute you're watching your favorite quarterback slinging the pigskin, the next minute he's on the ground writhing in pain. That's exactly what happened to Missouri's star quarterback, Brady Cook, in their game against Auburn.
Cook went down hard in the first quarter, landing awkwardly on his left leg after a run. The play was called back for holding, but that didn't lessen the concern for the Mizzou faithful. The trainers came running onto the field, and after a few minutes of examination, Cook was helped to the sideline. He was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game.
A Big Loss for Mizzou
This injury is a huge blow for Mizzou, who were already facing an uphill battle against a tough Auburn team. Cook's performance has been crucial for Missouri this season. He's a dynamic player who can make things happen both with his arm and his legs. Now, the Tigers will have to rely on backup QB Sam Horn, a true freshman who has a lot to prove.
The Injury Situation
There's still no official word on the severity of Cook's injury. But, let's be honest, folks, it doesn't look good. He was visibly in pain and even had to be helped off the field.
What's Next for Mizzou?
It's hard to predict what the rest of the season holds for Mizzou. The Tigers will have to adapt to life without Cook, at least for a while. The good news is that their schedule gets a little bit easier. But without their star quarterback, every game will be a challenge.
Stay tuned, folks. We'll keep you updated on Cook's condition and how the Tigers plan to navigate the rest of their season.
