3. Lackluster QB Play

Brady Cook will lineup under center for the Tigers on Saturday, and his stats this season have been less than ideal for an SEC starting QB. Cook’s 6 TDs and 7 INTs this season make it hard to believe that Missouri even has a .500 record on the year.

Shutting down the run game is crucial for the Wildcats, as Cook has yet to prove he can win a game when it is all on his shoulders. Cook managed the game great last week in the Tigers’ win over South Carolina, not turning the ball over. It will take Cook throwing a touchdown this week for the Tigers to upset the Wildcats.
