The Alabama football offense doubled its scoring output from last weekend ... and the offensive attack was paced by the run game. More than 270 of the team's 486 total yards were accrued in the rushing category, as well as all four of the touchdowns.

The news of Cook’s status is compounded by the fact Missouri’s leading rusher Nate Noel is listed as out and third-leading receiver Mookie Cooper is listed as doubtful. This is a beat-up Missouri offense, and Alabama’s defense needs a performance that reflects that.
