University of Missouri Tigers

Missouri Tigers athletics programs include the extramural and intramural sports teams of the University of Missouri–Columbia. The name comes from a band armed guards called the Missouri Tigers who, in 1854, protected Columbia from Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.

KU Steamrolls over Mizzou for 20th win

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Darrell Arthur scored nine points in a second-half surge that carried No. 4 Kansas past Missouri 90-71 Monday night, giving the Jayhawks their 20th straight home victory and a season sweep of their archrivals.

Brandon Rush had scored 19 points for the Jayhawks (22-1, 7-1 Big 12), going 7-for-13 from the 3-point arc.

Jason Horton and Darryl Butterfield entered the game midway through the first half, giving Missouri (13-10, 3-5) its full complement of players, except for injured Stephon Hannah, since a fight outside a Columbia, Mo., night club in the early morning hours of Jan. 27.

Hannah, who had 23 points and six assists in Missouri's six-point loss to Kansas on Jan. 19, broke his jaw in the altercation and four players were suspended indefinitely. Leo Lyons and Marshall Brown were reinstated for Saturday's 77-74 victory over then-No. 22 Kansas State.

But Butterfield and Horton did not return until about nine minutes remained in the first half of Kansas' ninth straight home win over the Tigers.

By then, the Jayhawks already had a 27-19 lead and were in the middle of a 13-6 run that Rush capped with a 3-pointer that made it 36-23.

Keon Lawrence played 36 minutes and had 25 points for Missouri. DeMarre Carroll, J.T. Tiller and Lyons all had 13.

Sasha Kaun had five points in the early run as the Jayhawks rolled into halftime with a 45-33 lead en route to their 30th victory in their last 31 regular-season games.

It doesn't get any better than this!

Missouri Tigers - The Big 12 North champions are ranked No. 1, Chase Daniel is getting serious talk about the Heisman Trophy and when the Tigers can beat Oklahoma in the league title game Saturday night, they'll play for the national championship and win that too.

Not too shabby for a team that hasn't won a conference football championship since 1969 and wasn't even ranked when the season started.

Now Tigers fans are streaming into the Alamo City to join the party, dancing to the mariachi music and slugging back margaritas on the Riverwalk as cool-headed and cleft-chinned quarterback Chase Daniel and teammates steady themselves for the biggest game in Missouri (11-1) history.

Last week's victory over bitter rival Kansas may have felt like the mountaintop, but the games, and the stakes, keep getting bigger.

"We're excited about being here," coach Gary Pinkel said Friday. "We're putting everything we have in this championship game. All that stuff will sort itself out later on."

The Sooners won the South Division (yawn). They've watched the nation bubbling up around the Tigers. And they walk into the Alamodome with the cool swagger that comes with having already beaten Missouri once this season behind a coach with a terrific record in Big 12 title games.

Since 2000, the Sooners are 4-1 in league championship games, including last year's win over Nebraska. Their only loss was in 2003 when they still went on to play for the Bowl Championship Series title.

Oklahoma Sooners got lucky and beat Missouri 41-31 on October 13, a game the Tigers feel they should have or could have won if not for some late turnovers. Missouri led 24-23 going into the fourth quarter.

"We definitely shot ourselves in the foot and didn't give ourselves a chance to win the football game with those turnovers," Missouri tight end Martin Rucker said.

Chase Daniel has been unstoppable since then. He's thrown for 3,951 yards and 33 touchdowns this season to join Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Arkansas running back Darren McFadden as favorites for the Heisman.

Daniel's 40-of-49 passing for 361 yards and three touchdowns against Kansas was a clinic in efficiency. Now he's back in his home state playing in a stadium where he won a high school state championship.

Pinkel said he expects his junior quarterback to shrug off the Heisman talk until after the game.

"This isn't about him winning an award, it's about us trying to win a championship," Pinkel said.

If the Sooners are vulnerable, it's in the secondary where Texas Tech ripped Oklahoma for 420 yards passing two weeks ago in an OU loss that ended its national title hopes.

For their part, Oklahoma players chafed this week at suggestions the Tigers lost the previous meeting rather than giving the Sooners credit for winning it.

"We won, so whatever they want to say, they can say that," jackass receiver Juaquin Iglesias said. "But we won the game."

The Sooners note their defense had something to do with beating the Tigers with blitzes that caused two interceptions and a tipped pass leading to another.

They also got a tremendous season from their quarterback, Sam Bradford, who set an NCAA freshman record with 32 touchdown passes.

"Obviously we couldn't have asked for much more," Stoops said. "The guy is exceptional."

The game will draw plenty of interest more than 1,000 miles to the north in Columbus, Ohio.

If the Tigers win, they'll earn a trip to the January 7 BCS championship game in New Orleans. If they lose, or if No. 2 West Virginia loses to rival Pittsburgh on Saturday, the Ohio Buckeyes will likely sneak into the title game and get thier asses beat.

For Ohio natives Pinkel (Akron) and Stoops (Youngstown), it means a lot of folks back home are watching what they're doing. "I know everybody in the state of Ohio wants me to lose," Pinkel said.

And guess what... that aint happenin

Recap: (6) Missouri Tigers 49, Kansas St. 32

Mizzou Tickets

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Trotting off the field after a resounding, historic victory, Missouri players were serenaded by a group of shirtless, chest-painted Kansas State fans: "Beat KU! Beat KU! Beat KU!"

After weeks of listening to the build up and trying not to look ahead, it was a sweet sound for the Tigers, who can finally shift their attention to next week's showdown with rival Kansas.

Jeremy Maclin scored three touchdowns and had 252 total yards to set the NCAA single-season freshman record for all-purpose yardage, helping No. 6 Missouri set up one of the biggest college football games this season with a 49-32 victory over Kansas State on Saturday.

"A storm is coming," Missouri defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams said. "I don't know who's bringing it, but a storm is coming."

Missouri (10-1, 6-1 Big 12) entered the weekend ranked fifth in the BCS, needing wins over Kansas State and Kansas, No. 3 in the BCS, to remain in the national championship hunt.

The Tigers took care of Kansas State (5-6, 3-5) by winning in Manhattan for the first time since 1989, and are sure to move up in the BCS standings after No. 2 Oregon's loss to Arizona on Thursday night.

"We're excited about the opportunity," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "That place is going to be wild."

The game next Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., has been billed as the biggest in the history of the border rivalry.

Kansas easily beat Iowa State, 45-7, but the Tigers almost didn't keep their end of the bargain, struggling offensively and allowing a blocked punt return for a touchdown in a tighter-than-expected first half.

Missouri pulled away early in the third quarter, with Chase Daniel throwing a pair of touchdown passes to turn a 21-18 lead into a rout. The victory secured the second 10-win season in school history -- first since 1960 -- and gave the Tigers six conference wins for the first time since 1969.

More importantly, it kept up Missouri's hopes for the first national title in its 117-year history of playing football.

"I clearly feel after today that we played a team that has a chance, from a talent standpoint, to win the national championship," Kansas State coach Ron Prince said.

Maclin made sure the Tigers still have that a chance.

The redshirt freshman caught an 8-yard TD pass 67 seconds into the game, making a sliding grab in the end zone two plays after William Moore intercepted Josh Freeman's second pass. Maclin followed Brooks Rossman's 18-yard field goal by breaking two tackles and streaking down the sideline for a 99-yard touchdown on the ensuing kickoff.

It was Missouri's first kick return for a touchdown since Ricky Doby scored on a reverse against Oklahoma State in 1982, the nation's longest drought.

Maclin then put the game all but out of reach midway through the third quarter, somehow sneaking up the middle unnoticed for a 44-yard touchdown catch that put Missouri up 35-18. That gave him 2,201 all-purpose yards for the season, 175 more than Terrell Willis of Rutgers had in 1993.

"It feels good -- that's what all that preparation goes toward," said Maclin, who finished with nine catches for 143 yards. "When you do all that stuff, you can go out there and win a game, set you up for big-time games like next week against Kansas."

Kansas State made it tougher than the Tigers would have liked, at least in the first half.

James Johnson ran for 172 yards -- 119 in the first quarter -- and Freeman passed for 243 yards, giving him 3,097 for the season and breaking Michael Bishop's school record set in 1998.

But what kept the Wildcats close was defense. Kansas State allowed one sustained drive and held Missouri, which averaged 514 total yards through nine games, to 145 in the first 30 minutes.

Missouri led 21-18 at halftime, but it wasn't because of the defense: One score came on Maclin's kick return and another, Maclin's 8-yard catch from Daniel, came after an interception at the Kansas State 15 on the third play of the game.

But the Wildcats couldn't sustain the pressure in the second half, allowing four touchdowns in their third straight loss.

"Missouri showed their true stripes," Kansas State linebacker Ian Campbell said. "They weren't going to let a little roll or a little momentum swing take everything away from them. Us not being able to come through and capitalize on some of the things that we had going for us shows the reason that we're not ranked No. 3, 4 or 5 in the country."

Preview: Oklahoma Sooners vs. Missouri Tigers

Saturday's Missouri-Oklahoma game is all about Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel.

The Tigers (5-0) are coming off an impressive victory at home over Nebraska, but they have an even bigger task this week: winning at Oklahoma.

A victory puts the Tigers into the national-title conversation. But they haven't won in Norman since 1966 and have won there just fives times in their history. The guy who could get them that elusive victory is Daniel.

Last season, he accounted for 359 of Mizzou's 360 total yards against Oklahoma. But he also threw three interceptions and the Sooners rolled 26-10. OU players know he is the guy they must stop.

"Chase Daniel is probably the main factor because he's just running around and making plays with his feet, and you think you have him wrapped up and he throws it deep to a receiver that's broken off his route," OU cornerback Reggie Smith told soonerscoop.com.

Daniel is averaging 380 yards of total offense a game, including 342.4 yards through the air. He has thrown 15 touchdown passes and also has three rushing touchdowns. He has some excellent offensive talent to work with, most notably tight ends Chase Coffman and Martin Rucker and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, but Daniel is the player who makes the Tigers go.

"He's playing excellent for us," Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel told Rivals Radio. "He's playing very consistently, and that gives us a chance."

Playing in front of 82,112 OU fans Saturday? Bring it on, Daniel says.

"We're going to a hostile environment to play the No. 5 team in the nation. So what?" he told PowerMizzou.com. "Who cares? It's what Missouri does nowadays. It's what we do. We put ourselves in this position. We want to be in this position."

Daniel – and OU's coaches – know that mobile quarterbacks have hurt the Sooners this season. Tulsa's Paul Smith threw for 350 yards and two touchdowns in a loss, buying time with his feet. And Colorado's Cody Hawkins threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns and was especially effective in the second half of the Buffs' upset of the Sooners. Neither has as much talent – or as much escapability – as Daniel.

"You've got to lock on to a receiver and let the front seven guys do their job. We just stay on our guys and do what we're supposed to do," Smith told SoonerScoop.com.

And cornerback Lendy Holmes told soonerscoop.com that once Daniel starts to scramble, "we have to lock up on our man or he's going to make the play."

The flipside is that Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford has played at a high level, as well. And he'll be going against, statistically, a far weaker defense than Daniel.

Missouri's pass defense ranks 101st in the nation, allowing 265.2 yards per game. Two teams – Illinois and Ole Miss – have thrown for more than 300 on the Tigers, and neither team has the same type of offensive firepower as Oklahoma.

Still, this one is all about Daniel. He has to play extremely well for the Tigers to win. And if he plays well, his teammates will respond in kind.

Mizzou Tigers put the smack down on Western Michigan, 52-24

Missouri improves unbeaten record as Jeremy Maclin totals 275 yards

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Jeremy Maclin racked up 275 total yards and scored two touchdowns and Tony Temple add two TDs to lead Missouri to a 52-24 win over Western Michigan on Saturday.

Chase Daniel threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third, completing 27 of 46 passes for 328 yards for Missouri.

As it did in season-opening victories against Illinois and Mississippi, Missouri (3-0) built a big first-half lead - going up 31-3 on the Broncos (0-3) - before withstanding a second-half comeback that briefly cut the lead to 14.

But the Tigers' defense stopped Western Michigan when it counted, including a fourth-and-goal from the 6 midway through the fourth quarter.

Missouri wasted little time at the outset, with Maclin catching a 24-yard touchdown pass from Daniel to cap a 6-play, 72-yard opening drive.

The Tigers extended the lead to 14-0 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Temple - Missouri's first rushing score of the season. Linebacker Brock Christopher's interception set up the 46-yard scoring drive, which also featured a 39-yard scramble by Daniel before he was knocked out of bounds at the 1.

The run was a career long for Daniel, who added a 35-yard run for a score in the fourth quarter.

Daniel entered the game with a chance to set the Division I record for consecutive passes without an interception, having thrown 235 in a row without a pick, a streak dating back to a Nov. 4, 2006 game against Nebraska.

He extended the mark with his first 20 passes Saturday before Western Michigan's Anthony Gebhart picked off Daniel with 3:31 remaining in the second quarter. That play preserved the national mark of 271 set by Trent Dilfer at Fresno State.

Maclin added his second touchdown early in the second quarter with a 17-yard run on a direct snap to the receiver, who was lined up in the shotgun.

Maclin caught seven passes for 96 yards, rushed six times for 52 yards, returned five kickoffs for 96 yards and returned two punts for 31 yards.

Maclin nearly had another long score on a third-quarter kickoff, but ran into the back of a blocker and had to settle for a 29-year return. And his 23-yard punt return in the third quarter deep into Western Michigan territory set up Temple's second rushing touchdown to make it 38-10.

Tommy Saunders caught a 25-yard TD pass from Daniel just before halftime, and backup quarterback Chase Patton completed the Tigers' scoring with an 18-yard run with 1:33 remaining.

Mark Bonds had a 9-yard touchdown run and Branden Ledbetter added a 27-yard scoring reception for Western Michigan, both in the fourth quarter. Ledbetter's score allowed the Broncos to cut the lead to 38-24 before Daniel ran for a 35-yard touchdown.
