Brady Cook, the starting quarterback for Missouri, suffered an ankle injury early in the game against Auburn, which led to his timely replacement by Drew Pyne, further impacting the team's dynamics.
Adding to Missouri's troubles, starting running back Nate Noel left the game with a foot injury, raising concerns about the team's offensive stability as they faced Auburn without two key players.
Before his injury, Cook was notably performing well, ranking sixth in the SEC with 1,351 yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 7:1, indicating his significant contribution to Missouri's offense.
Nate Noel was also a critical player for the Tigers, ranking sixth in the SEC with 471 rushing yards and two touchdowns, making his absence another blow to the team's chances.
