Cook, Burden shine as hometown heroes in Mizzou’s win over Memphis

Missouri completed a 4-0 start to the season with a 34-27 win over Memphis (3-1) at The Dome at America’s Center on Saturday.

One of the main storylines entering this game was: How would Brady Cook follow up a 356 yard, 2 touchdown performance against Kansas State last week?

The answer: by beginning this game 11-for-11 for 231 yards and a touchdown. The St. Louis native battled through a knee injury in practice this week and donned a knee brace in this game, but he played like he was 100% in his return to his hometown.

The Tiger offense hummed along thanks to Cook’s efficiency, with Luther Burden being the main benefactor in the first half.
