COLUMBIA, Mo. — 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 escaped with a 21-17 victory over Auburn on Saturday.

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.

Missouri (6-1, 2-1 SEC) took over at its own 5-yard line with 4:26 to go. Cook converted one third down with his legs, then hit Luther Burden III on fourth-and-5 for another first down.

Under Drinkwitz, Missouri begins to see itself differently - ESPN

EYEWEAR USED TO be a kind of prison until glasses became cool. Around the time jocks who never needed prescriptions began flaunting designer frames as a declaration of style. Which was long after Eli Drinkwitz had been memorialized in pictures from his adolescence, dorked-out in big, round lenses he inherited from his older brother, Jeremy. The head football coach of the Missouri Tigers has been the victim of lousy vision his whole life, and in his early 40s now seems the kind of glasses-wearer who forsakes image in favor of comfort. His current pair being a good example: soft rectangular lenses with practically invisible frames.
