Tigers trample Huskers

Daniel throws three touchdowns in 52-17 win

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Chase Daniel threw three touchdown passes, Derrick Washington ran for 139 yards and scored three times and the fourth-ranked Tigers beat overmatched Nebraska 52-17 on Saturday night for their first road win against the Cornhuskers in 30 years.

The 35-point defeat was the Huskers' most lopsided home loss in 53 years and fifth-worst in Lincoln in the program's 119-year history.

Missouri scored the first four times it had the ball, then went up 31-7 on Brock Christopher's 16-yard interception return late in the second quarter.

Missouri (1-0 Big 12) is unbeaten through five games for the third year in a row. Nebraska (3-2, 0-1) is winless in 10 straight against opponents ranked in the Top 10.

This victory was a long time coming. The Tigers hadn't won in Lincoln since 1978, when they upset second-ranked Nebraska 35-31 to deny the Huskers a national title shot.

First-year Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said earlier in the week that his team's goal was to shut out a Mizzou offense that came in averaging 54 points and 596 yards a game.
