While there weren’t any conference weekly awards for Missouri’s 38-21 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, Brady Cook’s performance got a lot of mention. After throwing for 395 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions — that was good enough to land him once again on the Davey O’Brien Great 8 and one of the Manning Award Stars of the Week.
