Missouri has had this game circled on the calendar since New Year’s. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz and his Tigers are coming off a needed bye week.

Missouri played most of the game without starting quarterback Brady Cook. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide bounced back strongly from their second loss in three weeks with their playoff hopes on the line. They had already lost multiple games before November for the first time since 2007. But the tide took this one after the Tigers lost Cook to a right (throwing) hand injury late in the first half. It was 6-0 at the time. Previously, Alabama was coming off a loss at Tennessee. In sum, Missouri backup Drew Pyne was 6-of-12 passing for 42 yards with three interceptions. Cook had just 30 passing yards when he was injured.
“They took an X-ray and didn’t feel comfortable with him continuing,” Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz said.
Pyne’s first pass was intercepted and returned 31 yards by Malachi Moore. Correlate that resulted in the first half’s only touchdown on Miller’s 3-yarder for a 13-0 lead.
“Offensively, just with Brady’s injury, we just couldn’t ever get in rhythm,” Drinkwitz said. “And the turnovers put us behind the eight ball, and just put the defense in too many bad spots today.” The teams combined had a 0 for 12 on third-down conversions in the first half. But Alabama finally started piling up yards to outgain Missouri 486-239. Including 271 yards on the ground.
