Mizzou Head Football Coach Eli Drinkwitz was non-committal on whether injured quarterback Brady Cook would play Saturday night against Oklahoma.
“I know y’all are going to ask me about injuries,” Drinkwitz said during his press conference on Tuesday. “I’ll welcome all the questions you wanna ask, and I will defer to the injury report that will be released tomorrow night, as competitive equity within the SEC.”
Cook started against Alabama after injuring his ankle against Auburn and left the Tigers loss to the Crimson Tide in the first half with an upper-body injury. Drinkwitz stated if Cook didn’t play, Drew Pyne would get the start. Pyne threw three interceptions in the Alabama game.
