Tigers recover, hammer Jayhawks

~ The Tigers scored the game's final 22 points to win 42-17.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- For the second straight week, Missouri had a controversial call go the other way. This time, there was plenty of time to shake off the adversity.

Chase Daniel threw for a career-best 356 yards and four touchdowns, and led a surge after a fifth TD was negated in Missouri's 42-17 victory over Kansas on Saturday.

Daniel, whose last-minute touchdown run was wiped out in a loss at Iowa State last week, said there was no feeling of dread after the Tigers' 13-point lead was shaved to three.

"Old Missouri teams, maybe," Daniel said. "I'm not going to let it happen and I know my teammates are not going to let it happen and the coaches aren't going to let it happen.

"It was huge for us to go down the very next drive and score points, that was the dagger in their heart."

Chase Coffman caught two scoring passes for Missouri (8-4, 4-4 Big 12), which ended a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time after starting 6-0. The Tigers tied for second in the Big 12 North with Kansas State after also ending a three-game losing streak against the Jayhawks.

"They outplayed us in nearly every facet of the game," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They outcoached us. They had a clean sweep."

Missouri now awaits a bid to its third bowl game in four seasons, and a likely upgrade over the last two to the Independence last year and in 2003. Representatives from the Insight and Texas bowls attended the game, with bids to be announced on Dec. 3.

"Last week, that loss knocked us out of a few, but we're excited about going anywhere," coach Gary Pinkel said. "We'll just continue to build our program."

Jon Cornish had 126 yards on 15 carries for Kansas (6-6, 3-5), which had won three in a row. Cornish scored on a 42-yard run in the first quarter and set a school single-season record of 1,457 yards.

Daniel, who was 26-for-38, topped his previous best of 320 yards in the opener against Murray State. His 74-yarder in the first quarter to Perry, who benefited from a slip in the Kansas secondary, was the school's longest pass play since 1989.
