LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Kirk Farmer's third touchdown pass Saturday, a 14-yarder to Dwayne Blakley in the fourth quarter, lifted Missouri to a 38-34 Big 12 Conference victory over Kansas.
Farmer's strike capped a 14-play, 79-yard drive that helped the Tigers (3-3, 1-3) to their first win at Kansas since 1990.
Missouri had taken a 34-31 lead on a 22-yard interception return for a score by cornerback Carl Ivey midway through the third quarter and a 15-yard touchdown run by Reggie Duncan in the fourth.
It was an eventful day for Farmer, who also threw a 14-yard scoring pass to Justin Gage in the second quarter and a 25-yarder to Marcus James in the third. But Farmer, who was 19 of 32 for 246 yards, also had a pair of his passes picked off and returned for scores.
Zack Abron carried 19 times for 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Tigers, who have won three staight road games for the first time since 1994. Missouri has won twice on the road this year as well as its final away game of 2000.
Abron had touchdown runs of two and one yards in the second quarter to tie the game at 14-14 before the Tigers regained the lead on the pass to Gage.
Kansas freshman Johnny Beck missed field goal attempts of 30 and 23 yards.
Mario Kinsey completed 13 of 25 passes for 242 yards for Kansas (2-5, 1-4), including scoring strikes of 41 and 24 yards to Derick Mills that helped the Jayhawks tie it 21-21 at halftime.
Quincy Rose of Missouri returned an interception 32 yards for a score in the first quarter.
Farmer also rushed 12 times for 82 yards.
