Air available

Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz liked the Tigers’ ground attack with quarterback Brady Cook a willing runner to go along with tailback Cody Schrader, who had 87 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown.

However, Missouri was prepared to go to the air and did, with Cook completing 16 of 26 passes for 242 yards and 1 touchdown.

“I definitely think we were more aggressive today,” Missouri Coach

Eli Drinkwitz said in his postgame news conference. “I’m not trying to throw shade on anybody, but they’re ranked 100-something in pass defense. So it wasn’t like we weren’t gonna have to go after them. That was our best matchup.”
