Brady Cook breaks SEC record for most consecutive passes without an interception

Missouri quarterback Brady Cook had a very impressive debut season last year for the Tigers. He’s continued to shine this season and on Saturday against the Vanderbilt Commodores, Cook cemented his name in SEC football history forever.

In the second quarter, Cook completed a pass, shattering the SEC record for the most consecutive passes without an interception (326 passes). The previous record of 325 passes without an interception belonged to former Kentucky signal-caller, Andre Woodson.

Cook wore a knee brace in Saturday’s game on his right knee. They briefly discussed it on the SEC Network broadcast. It didn’t affect him much at all in the first half. Cook completed 19 of 23 passes for 220 yards, while tossing in a touchdown pass to Theo Wease.

Missouri ended up winning on Saturday night, 38-21.

The Tigers ended up scoring 21 unanswered on Saturday, thanks to the dynamic connection of Brady Cook and Luther Burden. Burden once again proved to be unstoppable, hauling in 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

It’s the fourth straight 100-yard receiving game for the former five-star plus+ wideout. Luther Burden is the highest ranked receiver to sign for Missouri since Dorial Green-Beckham and there’s no question he’s got the potential to become one of the greatest wideouts in Mizzou football history.

Cook torched the Commodore secondary to the tune of 395-passing yards (career-high), while tossing in four touchdowns and no interceptions. His excellent career for the Tigers is clearly just getting warmed up.

Vanderbilt had to have been pleased with the performance of their wideout, Will Sheppard, who hauled in five catches for 98 receiving yards and a touchdown. Vanderbilt quarterback Ken Seals also threw some pretty deep balls, connecting on 64.5% of his passes for 259 yards, while tossing in two touchdowns and just one interception. He also tacked on a rushing touchdown.

Cook put up very good numbers last year in his first full season as the starting quarterback for Missouri. He completed 64.8 percent of his throws for 2,739 passing yards, while tossing in 14 touchdowns with seven interceptions. As a runner, he also ran for 585 yards and six touchdowns. In 2021, Cook saw a limited amount of work, completing 79.3 percent of his passes for 345 yards, while tossing in two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Up next for Missouri, they’ll face the LSU Tigers. That one is slated for October 7th. Kickoff will be at noon EST.
