 Official recap
Missouri took a 3-0 first-quarter lead on a Tom Whelihan field goal, but Dale Klein answered with two for Nebraska early in the second period to give the Huskers the lead for good. Nebraska then scored six-straight touchdowns, the last a 92-yard sprint by Tyreese Knox, and coasted to a 48-17 win over Mizzou. Klein's field goals gave him 24 in his career, breaking the old school record of 22, while Knox's run was the fourth-longest in Nebraska history.
