Missouri has looked bad in recent Big 12 play, losing their last three games after unexpectedly starting the season 4-0 in non-conference play.

The Tigers have returned to early season form and are cruising to an easy victory in Colorado.

Missouri scored the first 33 points to start the game and are currently ahead 33-17. At this point, the Buffaloes have no rushing yards and have struggled to gain any offensive continuity. Tyler Hansen has played the entire game at quarterback for the Buffs.

Derrick Washington has topped 100 yards rushing and Danario Alexander has 123 receiving yards at this point. It's been easy for the Tigers.

And here's the stat of the day. Including the 33 points that the Tigers started the game, Missouri scored 139 straight points against the Buffaloes before Aric Goodman's field goal late in the first half.
