The Missouri Tigers and No. 24 Kentucky are in a very competitive game in Lexington, as the Missouri Tigers just took a 28-21 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Brady Cook.

It hasn’t been the biggest offensive output for the Tigers, as Cook only has 167 passing yards. Wide receiver Mookie Cooper has 29 of those yards, and with a catch in the third quarter, he set a career-high in yards for a season with 302 yards.

Cooper, a junior from St. Louis, has become more of a playmaker this year. He is averaging 13.6 yards per catch this year, which is 2 more yards per catch in his previous 2 seasons. The Tigers have one of the deepest receiving groups in all of college football. He scored 1 touchdown in his freshman campaign, but has not found the end zone since then.

Luther Burden III is regarded as one of the best wide receivers in the country, while Theo Wease Jr. is a very formidable No. 2 option.

The game has made it to the 4th quarter, and the game is on the SEC Network.
