The Missouri Tigers had a huge game against LSU on Saturday. It was a big-time atmosphere, but Missouri blew a 15-point second quarter lead and lost 49-39.
Brady Cook was 30-of-47 for 411 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. The interceptions ended a streak of 366 passes without a pick, which was an SEC record.

“It puts everything into perspective, like I said,” Maclin told reporters during the ceremony. “I came a long way from a little growing up in St. Louis. Just to see it come full circle and to see everything I went through to get to this point.”
Maclin played 3 years at Missouri from 2006-2008, where he was a consensus All-America in 2 years. His freshman year he set an NCAA record for most total yards by a freshman, as he had 2,776 yards.
He was drafted 19th overall in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, playing there for 6 years before moving onto the Kansas City Chiefs.
During his time in the NFL, he had 514 catches for 6,835 yards and 43 touchdowns, and was named a pro-bowler 5 times.
He is currently a high school football coach in Missouri.
