Zac Taylor better watch out. Maurice Purify says he's coming after his job.
"It might happen," a smiling Purify said after Nebraska's 34-20 victory over Missouri on Saturday. "My QB rating is better than his."
Purify threw a 28-yard TD pass to Terrence Nunn on his first career attempt and then caught a scoring pass from Taylor as the Cornhuskers bolted to leads of 17-0 and 27-6.
Despite some anxious moments in the fourth quarter, Nebraska (7-3, 4-2) beat Missouri (6-3, 3-3) for the 15th straight time in Lincoln. The Huskers took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 North and can clinch a berth in the conference championship game with a win over either Texas A&M next weekend or Colorado on Nov. 24.
The victory came after two straight losses, including last week's 41-29 defeat at Oklahoma State after the Huskers squandered a 16-0 lead.
"It's a big win for our program," Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said. "I'm so happy for our kids. They've worked hard, they've practiced hard. I knew we were on the verge of doing some good things. Unfortunately, we didn't get that accomplished down in Stillwater. But we still believe in these kids and they believe in what we're trying to get across. That was reflected today on the field."
The Tigers had won six straight for their best start since 1963 but now have lost three of their last four.
"If they want to say we're the same old Missouri, let them say it," quarterback Chase Daniel said. "We know that we're a different team, and we can still have a great season. It can't all come at once. Sometimes it comes in baby steps."
Callahan, as he's done from time to time this season, dabbled in trickery to compliment the hard running of Brandon Jackson. Besides picking up 111 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries, Jackson caught three screen passes for 61 yards.
The Huskers ran back-to-back reverses to score their first touchdown. Nunn picked up 18 yards on an end-around before Purify took a reverse handoff and lofted a perfect strike to Nunn in the back of the end zone.
Purify said the Huskers had been practicing his pass play for three weeks.
"I knew it was coming when we came out and ran that first reverse," he said. "I felt like I threw it out of bounds. T. Nunn made a great play, and it was a better catch than pass."
It was the third time a non-quarterback had thrown a touchdown pass this season.
Holder Jake Wesch threw one to tight end Hunter Teafatiller on a fake field goal against Kansas State.
I-back Marlon Lucky threw one to Nate Swift on a reverse against Texas.
Then there was Dan Titchener's first-down pass to Todd Peterson on a fake punt against Southern California.
"Everybody's trying to take my job," Taylor said, laughing.
Taylor has no need to worry. He threw touchdown passes of 7 yards to Purify and 17 yards to Teafatiller to run his season total to 20. That matches the 30-year-old school record set by Vince Ferragamo. Taylor was 13-of-21 for 208 yards.
Daniel was 20-for-38 and 244 yards. He now has 2,531 yards in 10 games, breaking the single-season yardage record set by Jeff Handy in 1992.
Daniel hit some big passes while leading Missouri on an 18-play, 80-yard drive to pull the Tigers within two touchdowns with 8:10 left. The Tigers converted three fourth downs on their way to Daniel's 19-yard TD pass to Chase Coffman.
The Tigers threatened again, moving to the Huskers 28 after Nebraska went three and out on its next series. Daniel threw to Jared Perry to the 25 on a scramble, but a video review showed that Daniel's knee touched the ground before he passed. The Tigers couldn't convert a fourth-and-23.
"We got in a little bit of a deficit there but fought back into the fourth quarter and gave ourselves a chance to win," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "We just made mistakes and we didn't play consistent enough against a good football team to win."
As was the case in the Tigers' two previous losses, they couldn't overcome turnovers. Nebraska defensive end Adam Carriker had an interception and set up one for Bo Ruud by tipping a pass at the line of scrimmage. The Huskers converted both into second-quarter touchdowns.
In their losses, the Tigers have turned over the ball 10 times, with seven converted into 41 points.
"We can't play against good teams and make the mistakes we've been making and expect to win," Missouri safety David Overstreet said.
