COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri's Chase Daniel threw for 210 yards and a touchdown and No. 15 Missouri intercepted Graham Harrell four times, returning one for a score to hand Texas Tech a 41-10 loss on Saturday.
Tigers' tailback Jimmy Jackson had 59 yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries filling in for Tony Temple, sidelined a second straight game by a sprained ankle.
Missouri freshman Derrick Washington added 66 yards on nine carries for Missouri (6-1, 2-1 Big 12), which rebounded from a 10-point loss at Oklahoma last week and is 2-1 during a three-game stretch against ranked opponents.
Missouri has won 13 of its last 14 at home.
The scoring total was a season low for Texas Tech (6-2, 2-2), which entered the game first in points (50) and yards (582) per game. Missouri scored on its first four possessions of the second half to top its 40-point average.
Texas Tech entered the rankings last week after a 35-7 victory over Texas A&M. The high point for the Red Raiders Saturday was a 68-yard touchdown pass from Harrell to Edward Britton in the second quarter that cut Missouri's lead to 10-7. Harrell, who entered the game with 31 TD passes and only three interceptions, was 44-for-69 for 397 yards.
He completed 83 percent of his passes the previous two weeks, going 66-for-80 for seven touchdowns with one interception. The attempts are a season high and the yardage is second-lowest of the year and fewest against a major college opponent.
