The Missouri Tigers fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide 34-0 in Tuscaloosa in a game where absolutely nothing went right for the Mizzou. The Tigers lost starting quarterback Brady Cook in the second quarter to what was later told to be an upper-body injury, and with Cook out of the game, the offense just could not pull it together.
However, the Tigers could have lost Cook earlier in the game due to what some would say was a dirty play by the Alabama defense. On one of the plays, Cook received the snap, but whistles sounded on the field and the Missouri offensive line stopped playing. Well, defensive lineman LT Overton either didn't hear the whistles or didn't care as he came in and put a big hit on Cook on his blind side. Cook was just standing there and in no way saw the hit coming.
To add insult to injury, Alabama stripped the ball from Cook and ran it into their endzone to the cheers of the crowd. Obviously, the ball was dead, and the score didn't count, but head coach Eli Drinkwitz was heated after the play.

Obviously, we cannot repeat what Drinkwitz said, but it is pretty easy to read his lips in the video above, and if you didn't know any bad words, you do now. It seems as though Drinktwitz is yelling at Overton, who had the hit on Cook. The refs did throw a flag and gave Overton a personal foul penalty that gave the Tigers 15 yards and a first down.
All-in-all, this wasn't a good look play by Alabama, honestly, it was dangerous the way Overton hit Cook and him being unaware it was coming. Drinkwitz is simply coming to the defense of his quarterback, but how about we use better language next time, there are kids watching these games.
