Brady Cook’s 5-TD Explosion Lifts Missouri Over Georgia – Luther Burden Declares ‘We’re Not Underdogs Anymore’

In a game that shocked the SEC, Missouri Tigers quarterback Brady Cook threw for five touchdowns and over 350 yards, leading Mizzou to a dramatic 42-35 win over the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs. The win instantly flipped the narrative for Missouri, who entered the game as 17-point underdogs. Star wide receiver Luther Burden III, who hauled in two of Cook’s touchdown passes, spoke with swagger postgame: “They can stop calling us underdogs now. We’re here.” Coach Eli Drinkwitz praised Cook’s leadership and pinpoint passing, calling it the best quarterback performance in his tenure. The Tigers’ defense also came up big in the final quarter, with a crucial fourth-down stop that sealed the upset. Fans rushed Faurot Field after the final whistle, creating a sea of gold that will be remembered for years. The Tigers now control their destiny in the SEC East, a position few thought possible just weeks ago. Brady Cook’s Heisman odds surged overnight, while Burden is now viewed as one of the top receivers in college football. Mizzou’s momentum is real, and the country is finally watching.
