Missouri State Bears .......................................59 Murray State Racers ..........................................72
Missouri State scored on nine of its first 10 possessions and seemed to be in command before three straight turnovers in the fourth quarter opened the door for Murray State in a 72-59 non-conference road loss. The Bears jumped out to a 21-3 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game and eventually built a 38-31 lead at the half with 779 combined yards in the first half. The second half started much the same way with the Bears building a 52-38 advantage with 2:22 to go in the third on a 10-yard run by Chris Douglas, his second score of the game. Douglas finished with 191 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns. His 97-yard touchdown run from scrimmage in the first quarter matched the second-longest run in school history. After the Bears built the 14-point lead with just over 17 minutes to play, Murray State scored five of the game’s last six touchdowns from there. Four of those scores were set up by Missouri State mistakes, starting with a Murray State on-sides kick, followed by a Bears fumble at their own 20 on their second possession of the fourth quarter, and capped by two mishandled kickoff returns that led to Racers touchdown drives of 30 and 36 yards. Despite the miscues, the Bears drove to the Murray State 13 with just over four minutes to go in the game. However, the Bears failed to cut into the 13-point deficit when a 12-yard sack on fourth-and-eight ended the threat at the Racers 25. Casey Brockman broke Murray State single-game records for yards (570) and TD passes (7). He completed 32 of 41 passes with no interceptions. Cody Kirby was the offensive star for the Bears, collecting four rushing touchdowns, a career high. He was an efficient 10-for-14 through the air for 171 yards and no interceptions to break the MSU career passing record (7,012) and become just the 10th passer in Missouri Valley Football Conference history to surpass 7,000 yards.

Missouri State Bears........................................35 Indiana State Sycamores .................... ot 38
The third overtime game in the last five meetings in Terre Haute saw Indiana State hold off visiting Missouri State, 38-35. The Bears built a 35-21 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana State scored 17 unanswered points to claim the win. The game-winner came on a 32-yard field goal by Cory Little on Indiana State’s possession in overtime. The Sycamores’ initial drive in extra time stalled at the MSU 14, which led to the field goal attempt by Little. It looked as if the Bears had an opportunity for victory on the next possession as Stephen Johnston carried four times for 14 yards to get the ball to the ISU five. On fourth-and-two from the five, the Bears sent back the field goal unit to go for the win. However, a false start penalty pushed the ball back to the 10-yard line and brought on Jordan Chiles for a 27-yard field goal attempt. Chiles’ kick missed left, and Indiana State completed the comeback with the narrow overtime decision. The Sycamores outgained the Bears 508-400, despite a 207-197 edge on the ground by the Bears. Johnston posted his second straight 100-yard game for MSU, carrying 22 times for 112 yards. After coming from behind to tie the game three times in the first half, the Bears used a 74-yard drive to take their first lead early in the third quarter. Johnston carried a bulk of the load on the series, including a 19-yard touchdown run with 5:26 on the clock. The seven-play series took just under three minutes and also included great passes from Cody Kirby to Saffold and Trevor Wooden. The ensuing drive by ISU stalled at the Missouri State 21, and the Bears capitalized quickly. A 56-yard pass on third down from Kirby to Saffold set the Bears up at the Sycamore 17 with 14:08 to play in regulation. Two plays later, Kirby rushed for his second TD of the game - from 13 yards out - to make it a 35-21 ball game at the 13:05 mark. The 78-yard scoring drive took just five plays. A 35-yard touchdown pass by the Sycamores with 6:31 to go tied the game, 35-35. The Bears had a chance to win it in regulation with 2:20 to play when Chiles attempted a 48-yard field goal from the right hash and missed it just wide right. ISU took over on its own 31 with 2:15 on the clock, but the Bears’ defense held ISU to a three-and-out, and neither team could capitalize from there, sending the game into overtime.
