(November 1, 2008)--Chase Daniel passed for 318 yards and three
touchdowns and Jeff Wolfert kicked a 34-yard field goal with 2:31
remaining to help No. 14 Missouri escape with a 31-28 victory over
Baylor on Saturday in a game the Tigers could have put out of reach
early.
Baylor (3-6, 1-4 Big 12), which had twice came back from
14-point deficits but never led, had one last chance late. But
Brock Christopher's interception with 1:40 left - the first thrown
by freshman Robert Griffin in 210 attempts this season - finally
clinched it for the Tigers (7-2, 3-2).
Daniel threw two interceptions, the first on the first play of
the second quarter when Joe Pawelek picked off a pass in the end
zone to keep Missouri from adding to a 14-0 lead.
