The No. 23 Missouri Tigers will look to earn their first SEC road win of the season Saturday against South Carolina, but will not be at full strength.

Two starters on offense have already been ruled out for the Tigers, including starting center Connor Tollison, who suffered a season-ending injury against Oklahoma in Week 11.

The biggest question for Missouri heading into the game was the status of starting quarterback Brady Cook, dealing with a wrist and ankle injury that caused him to miss the Tigers' match against Oklahoma. Cook was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for Missouri, but is active for the Tigers after being listed as a game time decision Saturday morning.

Cook will be receiving the ball from a new center, however, with Drake Heismeyer filling in for Tollison. Filling in last week against Tollison, Heismeyer did not allow a single pressure on 14 snaps in pass protection.
