TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Ouch.

Missouri football faced its second big road environment of the season Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and the Tigers took their second blowout loss as Alabama ran rampant in the second half en route to a 34-0 win.

Starting Missouri quarterback Brady Cook left the game late in the second quarter with the Tigers trailing by six points.

The game, as you already know, did not end that way.

Here is how we graded Missouri in Bryant-Denny Stadium:

Offense: F

Four offensive plays after Cook left the game injured in the second quarter, Drew Pyne put one straight into ’Bama safety Malachi Moore’s arms for a game-altering interception, which the Tide’s offense turned into a quick score.

Pyne was picked off two more times in the third quarter, which was not too far away from every single time he dropped back to pass. He was replaced to begin the fourth quarter by preferred walk-on JR Blood but later reentered the game.

Missouri’s offense punted five times with Cook in the game, as the QB’s throwing motion looked extremely limited as he was struggling to put weight on his right foot, but did cross midfield three times and never turned the ball over.

Defense: D

Alabama started the second half with a six-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. On the other end of Pyne’s first turnover, it took three plays for Alabama to go 35 yards and score. After Pyne’s third turnover, it took five plays to go 65 yards and score.

A lot of it was ugly. But the defense wasn’t exactly getting put in the best position.

The Tigers forced Alabama to punt three times in the opening four drives, which overlapped with Cook’s time on the field — or before all the turnovers..

The picks clearly took their toll on the defense, which cycled back out much quicker than defensive coordinator Corey Batoon would have liked to see. Those were the cards they were dealt, though, and ’Bama capitalized, rushing in four total touchdowns between Jalen Milroe, Justice Haynes and Jam Miller.

Special teams: C

Luke Bauer punted seven times for an average of 44.7 yards. Blake Craig missed a 59-yard desperation field goal attempt to end the first half. No need for much discussion here.

Coaches: F

You have to have a bit of sympathy for MU’s entire staff this week. The Tigers’ fate was tied to Cook’s health, and once his day was done, so were Missouri’s hopes and dreams.

Despite the score, Corey Batoon just about gets a passing grade. The short fields and quick turnarounds stemming from the picks took their toll on the MU defense. The defensive game plan, at least while the game was close in the first half, appeared to be working.

The offensive game plan, however, wasn't.

It was an insurmountable mountain to climb with Cook out, as Missouri had to chase but did not have a quarterback capable of chasing in Pyne. But asking Pyne to throw as much as he did made a respectable game a heinous one. That’s on the play calls.

Overall: F

It’s with a heavy heart that we dish out this failing grade. But that’s what it was.

Missouri was lackluster — but only after Cook left, which was always going to be a lot for the Tigers to overcome on the road in Tuscaloosa. That’s why MU tried desperately to run a clearly banged-up quarterback for as long as it could.

But, the Tigers couldn’t keep him out there and as a result couldn’t keep up with the squad in crimson.
