Recap

Missouri dominated Nevada from the opening kickoff, with Chase Daniel and the Tigers' offense putting up 69 points in a one-sided affair. The scoring started immediately as Derrick Washington punched in a 59-yard touchdown run just 13:49 into the first quarter, followed by Daniel's 80-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin moments later. Nevada managed a Colin Kaepernick rushing touchdown early to stay on the board, but Missouri's offense was relentless, with Daniel connecting on touchdown passes to Jared Perry and Chase Coffman in the second quarter. The Tigers' defense held Nevada to just 362 total yards and one turnover, while Missouri racked up 651 yards with zero turnovers, controlling time of possession despite Nevada's 21:38 edge. By halftime Missouri had already put the game away, and the Tigers cruised to victory to retain the belt.
