Alabama Dominates Missouri 34-0 Amid Cook's Absence

In a decisive performance, No. 15 Alabama triumphed over No. 21 Missouri with a 34-0 victory in Tuscaloosa. Jamarion Miller powered through with two touchdowns, while Alabama's defense dominated, intercepting the Tigers three times. Missouri struggled without starting quarterback Brady Cook, who exited due to an upper-body injury late in the first half.

Alabama showed resilience, with Jalen Milroe completing 16 of 26 passes for 215 yards and rushing for 50 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown. Justice Haynes delivered an electrifying 35-yard touchdown run, further securing Alabama's lead. Malachi Moore's interception return marked the turning point, leading to Miller's early touchdown and giving Alabama a 13-0 halftime advantage.

Missouri's playoff aspirations faded as they failed to recover from Cook's absence and running back Nate Noel's injury. Alabama, now 6-2, kept its playoff chances alive and could potentially move up in rankings. Missouri, however, is likely to see its 20-week streak in the rankings snapped. Next up, Missouri will host Oklahoma on November 9, while Alabama faces No. 8 LSU on the same day. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
