The third year starter said everything changed for him after beating the Kansas State Wildcats in 2023.
DALLAS -- The Missouri football team was 2-0 in 2023 leading into the biggest non-conference game on its schedule. The Tigers were set to take on the Kansas State Wildcats, looking to avenge a 28-point loss from the season before. As starting quarterback Brady Cook was introduced to the Tiger faithful at Farout Field, he was greeted by a chorus of boos.
Cook responded to the negativity by passing for 356 yards and two touchdowns and scoring another on the ground. The Tigers' 30-27 victory over the Wildcats not only kickstarted the best Missouri season under head coach Eli Drinkwitz, but also assured Cook that he was the man to lead the program through the battles in the SEC.
"It was awesome," said Cook. "What he said and just the respect I gained for him right then and there. I was like 'Wow, this coach has my back'. I think that kind of turned the table on our relationship, from there we were in it together, we were going to do something special last year. I knew he had my back, that gave me confidence and I appreciated the heck out of it.
