Missouri looks to keep pace in Big 12 North at Colorado

Nov 3, 2007 - 10:43 AM No. 9 Missouri (7-1) at Colorado (5-4) 6:30 pm EDT

BOULDER, Colorado (Ticker) -- Missouri likely will need another strong performance from Chase Daniel to post its first road win over Colorado in a decade.

Daniel and the ninth-ranked Tigers look to keep in the thick of the Big 12 North Division race when they visit the Buffaloes on Saturday.

Missouri has lost four straight meetings in Boulder since a 41-31 win in 1997.

Overall, Colorado has won six of the past eight games against Missouri. But the Tigers have won two of the last three, including a 28-13 triumph last year.

Missouri (7-1, 3-1 Big 12 North), which is one game behind undefeated No. 8 Kansas in the division, has won back-to-back games since a 41-31 loss at Oklahoma on October 13.

Last week, the Tigers downed lowly Iowa State, 42-28, behind 250 passing yards and a touchdown from Daniel.

Colorado (5-4, 3-2 North) bounced back from consecutive defeats to Kansas State and Kansas with a 31-26 road win over Texas Tech last Saturday.

Cody Hawkins threw a pair of touchdowns for the Buffaloes, who intercepted Graham Harrell four times.
