Cook makes heroic return
Missouri rallied past Auburn 21-17 on Saturday thanks to a legendary performance by QB Brady Cook.
Cook went down with an ankle injury on the first series of the game. He was taken to the hospital for an MRI, and Missouri said he was unlikely to return.
But Cook had other plans.
Drinkwitz said Cook went to the hospital for an MRI during the game. He told the team "I've only got 2 1/2 games left on Faurot Field, I'm not missing this one in the hospital."

In what would be a central plot point in any football movie ever made, Cook emerged from the ER with little more than a sore ankle and a $1,200 deductible, then returned to the field in the third quarter, rescuing Missouri from a 17-3 deficit and engineering two fourth-quarter touchdown drives in the win. This marked the first game in SEC history in which a QB left a hospital bed to beat a team whose coach once won a game from a hospital bed.
Ultimately, the performance will be remembered in Missouri football lore and served as a reminder that a guy who spent half a game in an MRI machine is still better than anything Michigan can find at QB.
