Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Todd Reesing threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Kerry Meier on fourth down with 27 seconds remaining, as Kansas pulled out a 40-37 victory over 12th-ranked Missouri in the regular-season finale for both teams at Arrowhead Stadium.
Missouri (9-3, 5-3 Big 12), already headed to the Big 12 title game next week as the winner of the North Division, had a chance to tie it in the closing seconds, but Jeff Wolfert's 54-yard field goal try was partially blocked and came up well short in snowy conditions.
Reesing completed 37-of-51 passes for 375 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the wild contest that featured four lead changes in the fourth quarter.
Meier finished with 14 catches for 106 yards and two scores, while Dezmon Briscoe hauled in nine passes for 115 yards with a touchdown for Kansas (7-5, 4-4). The Jayhawks halted a two-game losing streak and won for just the second time in their last six games after a 5-1 start.
Chase Daniel connected on 25-of-41 passes for 288 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in defeat. He also ran for 103 yards on nine carries, while Jeremy Maclin totaled 155 yards from scrimmage with nine catches for 123 yards and three carries for 32.
