WACO, Texas � Chase Daniel passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns and Jeff Wolfert kicked a 34-yard field goal with 2:31 remaining to help No. 14 Missouri escape with a 31-28 victory over Baylor today in a game the Tigers could have put out of reach early.

Baylor (3-6, 1-4 Big 12), which had twice came back from 14-point deficits but never led, had one last chance late. But Brock Christopher's interception with 1:40 left � the first thrown by freshman Robert Griffin in 210 attempts this season � finally clinched it for the Tigers (7-2, 3-2).

Daniel threw two interceptions, the first on the first play of the second quarter when Joe Pawelek picked off a pass in the end zone to keep Missouri from adding to a 14-0 lead.
