The Morning Commute for Thursday, October 24
Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we’re talking about Mizzou injury situation.
It’s not ideal when your starting running back is ruled out prior to huge road game with CFP implications against a desperate Alabama team, but that’s the situation Mizzou has been dealt.
Nate Noel, Missouri’s leading rusher will reportedly miss the Alabama game on Saturday with a foot injury — according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

Meanwhile, Thamel also reports that Brady Cook is doubtful after being “extremely limited” in practice.
Sources: Missouri quarterback Brady Cook is considered doubtful for the game at Alabama this week with an ankle injury. He’s been “extremely limited” in practice so far this week.

Morning Commute from Chad Moller: The Legend of the Throwback — Brady the Uncommon
“I don’t know if he’ll have to get another shot before the game to be good – or if that would even be the right thing – but either way let’s hope like hell that he’s going to be able to play and inspire the Tigers for 60 minutes in Tuscaloosa like he did last Saturday.”

While we are just over a week away from college basketball season, #Mizzou women’s basketball still searches for an identity thanks to a roster FILLED with new faces.
