Missouri quarterback Brady Cook spent most of last season playing through a shoulder injury so severe it required offseason surgery. Yet because he never whimpered or complained, few outside the program even knew what he had to endure.
So over time, the kid from St. Louis - the one who grew up dreaming of playing for the Tigers - became the whipping boy of fans pining for their program to return to prominence. Every mistake made was magnified, every failure of the team foisted upon him, and the drum beat for coach Eli Drinkwitz to turn to highly touted recruit Sam Horn grew.
His coach certainly does. And unlike Cook, who tends to harness his emotions when he walks off the field, Drinkwitz is perfectly willing to come out swinging in defense of his quarterback. Cook held onto it, but he was somewhat lackluster the first two weeks. He had just 172 yards passing while splitting time with Horn in a season-opening win over South Dakota, then threw for 204 yards in a 23-19 squeaker over Middle Tennessee State.
