Miller rushes for 2 TDs, No. 15 Alabama picks off 3 passes in 34-0 win over No. 21 Missouri Boston 25 News [Video]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — (AP) — Jamarion Miller rushed for two touchdowns and No. 15 Alabama’s defense had three interceptions in a 34-0 victory Saturday over No. 21 Missouri, which played most of the game without starting quarterback Brady Cook.

The Crimson Tide (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) bounced back strongly from their second loss in three weeks with their playoff hopes on the line. They had already lost multiple games before November for the first time since 2007 but took this one after the Tigers (6-2, 2-2) lost Cook to a right (throwing) hand injury late in the first half.

It was 6-0 at the time.

Alabama was coming off a loss at Tennessee, a down-to-the-wire win over South Carolina and another defeat at Vanderbilt.
