Brady Cook, hobbled by an injury, rallies No. 19 Mizzou to a 21-17 win over Auburn

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Brady Cook returned from an injury to lead No. 19 Missouri to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the go-ahead run by Jamal Roberts with 46 seconds to go, as the Tigers rallied for a 21-17 victory over Auburn. Cook appeared to hurt his ankle on the opening series and did not return until late in the third quarter, by which point Auburn had taken a 17-3 lead. But he promptly hit Theo Wease Jr. with a 72-yard pass to set up Marcus Carroll’s touchdown run, then led an even more dramatic drive with time running out in the fourth quarter. Roberts’ touchdown helped Missouri improve to 6-1 on the season.
