Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel (10) runs for a long gain as the Nebraska defense gives chase. Missouri pummeled Nebraska, 41-6, Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

Columbia, Mo. ? Chase Daniel passed for a career-best 401 yards and ran for two scores, and No. 17 Missouri got a big game from its suspect defense in a 41-6 victory over No 25 Nebraska on Saturday night.

Nebraska, which entered the game averaging 36 points, was held without a touchdown for the first time since a 31-3 loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 13, 2004. Missouri’s four nonconference opponents averaged 25 points, leading to pregame anticipation of a high-scoring affair that never materialized.

Daniel also was Missouri’s rushing leader with 72 yards on 11 carries. Chase Coffman and Danario Alexander each caught a touchdown pass to help the Tigers (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) beat Nebraska decisively at home for the third straight time and go to 5-0 for a second straight season.
