COLUMBIA, Mo. — No. 19 Mizzou football got its second conference win this season when it rallied from 14 points down in the third quarter to defeat Auburn 21-17 in Week 8 at Faurot Field on Saturday. 

Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz will get his post-game press conference started shortly. 

While we wait, here are some key stats from today’s game. 

Brady Cook: 11-of-22 for 194 yards

Luther Burden: 6 receptions for 49 yards

Marcus Carroll: 5 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown

Jamal Roberts: 5 carries for 20 yards and go-ahead touchdown

Zion Young: 6 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack 

What Drinkwitz said

Couldn’t be any prouder of the team. He said every fan should be proud of that game. 

Defense kept team in the game. 

Happy about Pyne and that FG drive. 

Drinkwitz almost crying talking about Cook and how Cook would “die on the field” for the team. 

Cook went to the hospital and had an MRI and said there was no way he would miss the rest of the game. 

He warmed up at indoor facility behind the stadium and then Drinkwitz asked can he play and Cook said yes. 

Team is bowl eligible. Everything team wants is on other side of this game. 

Cook found ways during that drive. 

Nate Noel hurt his foot in the first quarter. The team doesn’t know how bad it is. 

Liked everything the defense did besides the one big TD play. 

Emotional win like this will keep building the brotherhood. A lot of recruits are celebrating in the locker room right now. 

He said the drive ranks pretty high on the ones he’s had since he’s been here. 

Cook’s injury today seems different than the one he was dinged up with heading into this game. 

One thing to come back and another to scramble and make throws. One of the best characteristics of a top QB is toughness and he has that. 

Thought it was a bad dream when the score was 17-14 but the team battled back.
