				<description><![CDATA[COLUMBIA, Missouri (Ticker) -- Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin 
enjoyed career days in Missouri's final tune-up before Big 12 
Conference play.

Daniel passed for a career-high 439 yards and completed a Big 
12-record 20 consecutive passes while Maclin hauled in a 
career-high 14 receptions Saturday as the fifth-ranked Tigers 
closed their non-conference schedule with a 42-21 rout of 
Buffalo.

A Heisman Trophy candidate, Daniel finished 35-of-44, threw two 
touchdowns and fell three completions short of tying the NCAA 
record of 23 in a row.

"(Daniel) brings his A-game every time he plays," Missouri coach
Gary Pinkel said.  "He's smart about what he does.  He's like a 
coach out there; he knows the offense so well.  He always keeps 
his focus."

Daniel's favorite target was Maclin, who finished with 236 
all-purpose yards.  The sophomore standout had 168 receiving 
yards, 25 rushing yards and 43 on returns.

Derrick Washington rushed for 89 yards and two TDs while tight 
end Chase Coffman had 10 catches for 84 yards and a score for 
Missouri (4-0), which has a bye next week before opening Big 12 
play at Nebraska on October 4.

"We're happy for the victory, but turnovers and mental errors 
just killed us today," Coffman said.  "It might even have been a
good thing for this game to be close like that, but we've just 
got to keep working to get better."

"It's time for us to start working on Nebraska," Pinkel added.  
"The bye week comes at a very good time for us.  We're sitting 
here 4-0, we've done a lot of good things, but we've also got 
some things we need to improve on."

A former star at Nebraska, Buffalo coach Turner Gill had his 
team primed for its matchup with the high-powered Tigers, who 
entered leading the nation with an average of 57 points per 
game.

"We did have some good things, it wasn't totally negative," Gill
said.  "But Missouri was the best team today."

One week after a thrilling last-second win over Temple, the 
Bulls (2-2) pulled within 27-21 on Drew Willy's 3-yard TD pass 
to Ernest Jackson midway through the third quarter.

But Missouri, a five-touchdown favorite, pulled away courtesy of
Washington's 3-yard TD late in the third quarter and Daniel's 
4-yard scoring strike to Coffman with 9:41 remaining.

Although the Tigers lost three fumbles in Buffalo territory, 
Daniel was his usual efficient self.  The senior completed his 
20th consecutive attempt on a 9-yarder to Maclin in the third 
quarter.

But Daniel's string of successful passes ended later in the 
drive when his 4th-and-1 attempt to Maclin was incomplete.  The 
NCAA record of 23 straight completions is shared by Tennessee's 
Tee Martin (1998) and California's Aaron Rodgers (2004).

A Heisman finalist last year, Daniel will enter Big 12 play with
staggering statistics.  He has completed just under 76 percent 
of his passes for 1,412 yards and 12 TDs with one interception 
in four games.

But despite Daniel's impressive resume and Missouri's plethora 
of offensive weapons, the Bulls kept it close against one of the
nation's premier teams.

Willy completed 22-of-40 passes for 237 yards, two TDs and one 
interception.  Jackson had a pair of scoring catches and 
returned a kickoff for a touchdown while Naam Roosevelt hauled 
in nine catches for 87 yards for Buffalo, which was outgained by
a whopping margin of 590-286.

"We held them to 49-yards rushing, which is good, and only 286 
yards, so that's pretty good," Pinkel said. "We've just got to 
focus more on both sides of the ball."

Facing a 10-0 deficit, Buffalo got on the board late in the 
first quarter on Jackson's 97-yard kickoff return.

The Bulls clawed within 17-14 on Jackson's first receiving TD of
the game, a 32-yard strike from Willy with 7:30 remaining in the
first half.

"Jackson had a good day today," Willy said.  "He usually does 
back-up kick returns, but he started today.  He did a great job 
today."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Buffalo (2-1) at No. 5 Missouri (3-0), 2:00 pm EDT

COLUMBIA, Missouri (Ticker) -- Chase Daniel thinks Missouri has 
not reached its full potential - a scary thought for the Tigers'
opponents.

Fifth-ranked Missouri concludes the non-conference portion of 
its schedule Saturday when its host Buffalo of the Mid-American 
Conference.

"Can we get better?  Of course," said Daniel, who passed for 405
yards and four touchdowns in just over two quarters of last 
week's 69-17 drubbing of Nevada.  "We just have to go out there 
each and every day and just practice."

Missouri scored on its first 10 possessions against Nevada, with
Daniel leading the Tigers to seven touchdowns and a field goal. 
They finished the game with a school-record 519 passing yards.

Missouri (3-0) had three players - Jeremy Maclin, Chase Coffman 
and Tommy Saunders -  all surpass the century mark in receiving 
yards.  While the records are incomplete, Missouri believes it 
is the first time that feat has been accomplished in school 
history.

"(Daniel's) got a lot of people out there who can make plays and
turn seven-yard gains into 25-30 yard gains," Missouri coach 
Gary Pinkell said.

Buffalo's first game in the MAC turned out to be a memorable 
one, as Drew Willy tossed a 35-yard TD pass to Naaman Roosevelt 
on the final play to give the Bulls a 30-28 victory over Temple.

"Great win for our program," said Buffalo coach Turner Gill, the
former Nebraska assistant who has guided the Bulls to a 2-1 
start in his third season at the school.  "Great win for our 
community.  Great win for this university."

Buffalo's reward is a contest against the nation's top offensive
juggernaut.  Missouri lead the Football Bowl Subdivision in 
total offense, averaging just under 600 yards per game.  The 
Tigers also are No. 1 in scoring at 57.7 points per contest.]]></description>
