COLUMBIA, Mo. (News First) – Missouri’s Brady Cook threw for 228 yards and ran for two touchdowns, preseason All-American Luther Burden III also scored before leaving with an illness, and 9th-ranked Missouri routed Buffalo 38-0 for the Tigers’ second straight shutout to start the season. Mizzou’s Theo Wease Jr. had 13 catches for 149 yards and Nate Noel added 73 yards rushing and a touchdown.
The Tigers rolled to their 18th straight non-conference win at Memorial Stadium to match the best streak in school history. C.J. Ogbonna, former SEMO quarterback, was held to 55 yards passing for the Bulls who gained 168 in total offense against new Missouri defensive coordinator Corey Batoon’s stingy bunch. Missouri will go for their third win of the season next Saturday when they host Boston College.
