In perhaps one of the biggest victories in school history, Missouri held on for an amazing 36-28 victory over the 2nd-ranked Kansas Jayhawks to keep their national title chances alive. The 4th-ranked Tigers earned their third Pontiac Game Changing Performance nomination of the season when Heisman hopeful Chase Daniel scrambled out of the pocket and hit Danario Alexander with an 11-yard touchdown pass to put Missouri up 14-0 in the second quarter.

Now it is up to Mizzou fans to determine if the Tigers will earn a "Pontiac Game Changing Performance" for the 13th week of the 2007 NCAA® Football Season.  Missouri fans can go to pontiac.com/ncaa, where they can view video clips of the four finalists and vote for their favorite play.  Voting begins on Sunday morning and ends at midnight on Wednesday.  ESPN will announce this week's "Pontiac Game Changing Performance" winner, on Thursday night, during the Pontiac Performance Halftime Report.

The winning university earns a $5,000 contribution from Pontiac to their general scholarship fund.  Additionally, the winning play will be nominated for the "Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year" and the chance to win a $100,000 General Scholarship from Pontiac.

"Awarding more than $1 million since its inception, the Pontiac Game Changing Performance program continues to be a great example of how passionate fans can have a positive impact academically and athletically by generating scholarship dollars for university-wide programs," said Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN GameDay Analyst.

In addition, each week one lucky individual who visits pontiac.com/ncaa, will also win a $5,000 scholarship for them self or their family.  In total, Pontiac will provide $300,000 worth of scholarships to universities and individuals throughout the season.
