As if this season hasn’t been a rough one for the Missouri Tigers, here comes some more bad news. The program announced Thursday that they will be without the services of seniors Case Cook (OL), Mason Pack (DB), and Chris Turner (DL) who all have suffered season-ending injuries.

That is not good for a team already struggling, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Mizzou defense is dead last in the SEC and ranked dead last in the country (130) in total defense giving up an average of 286 yards per game and 21 touchdowns on the ground.

Losing Cook also is not good for the Mizzou offense who needed him to protect quarterback Connor Bazelak and give running room to top Tiger running back Tyler Badie.

Mizzou has a bye week before returning to action against Vanderbilt next Saturday.
