Schaffi tzel who registered 109 tackles and 5 interceptions as a sophomore, the MSU defenders had the second-best red zone defense in the MVFC and have all the pieces in place this fall to improve on that standard. The offense will count on wideout Dorian Buford and speedy sophomore running back Ryan Heaston for leader-ship, along with junior quarterback Ki-erra Harris. Buford had 59 catches for 642 yards a year ago to earn All-MVFC fi rst-team honors, while Heaston was on the Valley All-Newcomer Team after leading the Bears in rushing yards and turning heads around the league.

Defense Hopes to Set Tone for 2013 Season Paced by a defense that features 10 returning starters, the Missouri State Bears head into the 2013 season with a lot of momentum on their side. Eighth-year head coach Terry Allen led MSU to victories in three of the club’s fi nal fi ve games to close out the 2012 campaign. That stretch also included a narrow four-point loss to eventual Division I FCS national champion North Dakota State. The Bears’ defense kept them in the hunt in 2012 as they gave up less than 21 points per game in Valley play with 12 interceptions against conference foes. Led by All-America safety Caleb



IN A NUTSHELL The pulse of the 2013 Missouri State football team is its defense. The Bears have 10 regular starters and 20 lettermen back on the defensive side who combined for 689 tackles in 2012. Leading the charge is All-American strong safety Caleb Schaffi tzel (Jr., Fair Grove, Mo.) who registered a team-high 109 tackles as a sophomore to go with 5 interceptions. He’ll anchor an MSU secondary that has all four starters back, including free safety Mike Crutcher (Jr., Wentzville, Mo.) and cornerbacks Howard Scarborough (Sr., Tulsa, Okla.) and Sybhrian Berry (Sr., Camden, Ark.). The quartet defended 34 passes last season and is poised to have a bigger impact this fall with the veteran swagger of a combined 79 career starts. MSU also has eight returning lettermen in the trenches to fi ll its three defensive line spots. Work-horse nose tackle Eric Pearce (Sr., Springdale, Ark.) earned 11 starts as a junior, while Anthony Grady (Sr., Texarkana, Ark.) is widely regarded as having NFL potential after earning 2012 All-MVFC honorable mention honors and stopping 49 ball carriers. “We’ve got a chance to be a pretty good de-fensive football team led by Caleb (Schaffi tzel) of course,” said head coach Terry Allen. “But more importantly, we’ve got a whole bunch of defensive lineman. A lot of them are seniors who have been through the ropes.” The defense, which also has six lettermen back at linebacker, played a huge role in the Bears’ turn-around last season, surrendering just 20.6 points per game in league play, including 14.7 points dur-ing MSU’s three-game win streak in October. On the offensive side, Kierra Harris (Jr., Texarkana, Ark.) came out of spring camp with the starting quarterback job in hand. As a starter, Harris sparked a 3-2 run over the Bears’ fi nal fi ve games last season, which also included a narrow 21-17 loss to FCS national champion North Dakota State. He completed 61 percent of his passes as a sopho-more and accounted for 10 touchdowns. Six-game starter Ashton Glaser (Sr., Springdale, Ark.) will also push for time after an impressive spring. In the passing game, MSU’s favorite target will likely be senior Dorian Buford (WR, Florissant, Mo.) who snagged All-MVFC fi rst-team honors last season with 59 receptions for 642 yards. Fellow speedster Julian Burton (Jr., Cordova, Tenn.) had a great spring and appears on track for a comeback campaign after a clavicle injury held him to just 25 receptions in 8 games last year. The MSU running game will feature more depth than any time in recent history with sophomore Ryan Heaston (So., Cordova, Tenn.) leading a cast of four returning lettermen. Heaston found a spot on the MVC All-Newcomer squad as a freshman after tallying 424 yards on 84 carries (5.0 yards per carry). Versatile senior Vernon Scott (Muskogee, Okla.) earned 11 starts in 2012, while classmate Mi-kael Cooper-Falls (Springfi eld, Mo.) led the Bears in rushing in 2009 and should also get frequent carries. MSU also has fi fth-year man Matt Swan (Spring-fi eld, Mo.) poised to take over the starting role at tight end along with six lettermen and three starters back on the offensive line. “We’ve got some holes to fi ll on the offensive line,” Allen noted. “But, we’ll be solid at the running back position with Ryan coming back from his (rib) injury. We’ve got seven starters and a lot of veter-ans coming back on offense.”

QUARTERBACKKierra Harris started the fi nal fi ve games of

the 2012 campaign and helped the Bears salvage the season. He had rushing touchdowns in three straight games late in the year, guided MSU to three straight victories and fi nished fourth on the club in ground yards. Through the air, he was consistently accurate, posting the seventh-best completion percentage (.607) in school history. He came off the bench to complete 12-of-15 passes in a solid road effort at Indiana State, fi nished 29-for-39 through the air at UNI and was just 3 yards shy of eclipsing the 1,000-yard plateau. But for the Bears to take the next step, Offensive Coordinator Rob Christophel says Harris has to take his game to another level this season. “I’m real excited about Kierra Harris,” said Chris-tophel. “Ability wise, he has all the tools, and he is becoming more of a student of the game. Now it’s up to him to take his game a step further.” After three years of being tossed around the depth chart at Missouri, Ashton Glaser transferred to MSU in time for 2012 fall camp. He beat Har-ris out for the starting job, but failed to secure a win after six starts. A closer look at the numbers reveals a strong-armed passer who produced 257 yards through the air at Kansas State in his debut and 337 yards in the home opener against Murray State. He also contributed 207 yards in total of-fense at South Dakota State and went 10-for-12 through the air at Indiana State. What was missing, according to Christoph-el, was confi dence and timing, which the coach says is now in place for Glaser’s senior season. “Ashton has a ton of playing experience now, and bringing his experience and leadership skills will be critical for us,” Chris-tophel noted. “He had a game-winning drive off the bench at Illinois State. Having two quar-terbacks who can play is really exciting.” Christophel also highlighted the prog-ress of redshirt fresh-man Brodie Lambert (Arlington, Texas) who now has a clear under-standing of the MSU system entering 2013. “I have a really good feeling about Brodie Lambert and his ability to compete,” he said.

“With his progression through the spring, he’s really starting to understand things, and his impact on our future is really important.”A Look at the Quarterbacks

RUNNING BACK The Bears enter the fall with an abundance of talent at tailback, including fi ve returnees.

Ryan Heaston emerged from spring drills as the front runner for the starting job after he turned enough heads last fall to garner Freshman All-America distinction. Despite playing in just seven games due to a mid-season injury, the speedster led the squad in rushing yards (424) and yards per carry (5.0). He followed that up with a 110-yard per-formance in the MSU spring game and looks poised for a breakout season. “Heaston shows a lot of promise,” said running backs coach Gerald Davis. “He’s gained weight,

and he’s really maturing into a player who can take on a bigger role.” Seniors Vernon Scott and Mikael Cooper-Falls also provide MSU with viable ground options. Scott led the Bears in carries in 2012 (87) while starting all 11 games as a workhorse back who can block and perform on special teams. Cooper-Falls is the club’s best short-yardage back and appears healthy for his fi nal campaign after he missed the 2010 and 2011 seasons with knee problems.

Josh Mattes (Jr., Eldridge, Mo.) has emerged with his physical running style, while the versatile and speedy Cedric Miller (So., Memphis, Tenn.) should also play a larger role after he notched 5.7 yards per carry in limited action as a freshman. “When it comes to the offense, I have no worries putting any of those guys in,” said Davis.A Look at the Running Backs

Ryan Heaston (5-10, 179, So., Cordova, Tenn.) Mikael Cooper-Falls (5-11, 198, Sr., Springfi eld, Mo.) Cedric Miller (6-0, 194, So., Memphis, Tenn.) Vernon Scott (6-0, 179, Sr., Muskogee, Okla.) Josh Mattes (6-2, 224, Jr., Eldridge, Mo.) Phoenix Johnson (5-9, 180, Fr., Webb City, Mo.) Calan Crowder (6-1, 200, Fr., Bartlesville, Okla.)

WIDE RECEIVER The preseason picture of the MSU wide receivers is starting to come into focus with regulars Dorian Buford, Julian Burton and Eric Christophel (So., Nixa, Mo.) slated to fi ll starting roles at their respec-tive positions. Buford is the front runner at Z receiver. He was an All-MVFC fi rst-team selection last year and will be the bread-and-butter of the Bears’ passing game this fall after he was 47th in the country in recep-tions for per game (5.36) as a junior. He notched three 100-yard games in 2012, started all 11 games and showed game-breaking speed. “I’m excited about having an all-conference player in Dorian coming back,” said MSU receivers coach Mike Chandler. “He’s a real hard worker, and he has been in the system long enough, he understands what we need him to do.” Burton is also a deep threat who capped the Maroon and White Game this spring with a 71-yard touchdown catch-and-run. The Bears expect him to make a difference at the X receiver spot this year after he pulled in 25 catches in just eight games last year. The fourth-year veteran has overcome an inju-ry-riddled career, but Chandler says if Burton stays healthy, he could be the big piece MSU needs. “We’re really looking forward to seeing what we get from Julian,” said Chandler. “He obviously has a lot of potential to be a game changer if he stays healthy and we utilize him to his potential.” Christophel will anchor the B receivers after he had 10 catches and a TD as a redshirt freshman. Converted running back Maddy Johnson (So., Webb City, Mo.) will join Christophel in the slot along with returning squadman Stacey Thornton (RFr., Festus, Mo.) to add depth in a key position. Pushing for the No. 2 spot behind Buford will be a trio of speedy Kansas City-area products in Marvell Saffold (Jr., Grandview, Mo.), Zac Hoover (RFr., Grain Valley, Mo.) and Elgie Hurd (Jr., Kansas City, Mo.). Burton will get a push from returning squadman Adam Judnich (So., LaQuinta, Calif.) as well as Baker University transfer Tyren Price (So., Man-sfi eld, Texas) who was with the team this spring. Promising freshman speedsters LeMarcus Stewart (Memphis, Tenn.) and Joseph Stampley (Wynne, Ark.) come in with high expectations and should

also give Chandler options at the X spot.A Look at the Wide Receivers

TIGHT END Replacing two-year starter Matt Thayer is a daunting task for new MSU tight ends coach Ben Barkema. But even though the Bears will be very young at a key spot, fi fth-year man Matt Swan ap-pears to be the heir apparent this fall. “As a group, we had a good spring,” said Barke-ma. “Swan did a great job of bringing the new guys along. He is smart, knows the offense and does a great job covering all positions.” Swan earned MSU Special Teams Player of the Year honors in 2012 and snagged his fi rst two ca-reer pass receptions. After an impressive spring, he appears poised to take over regular duties at tight end and lead a solid cast at that position. Highly-touted Ryan Boatright (RFr., Tulsa, Okla.) will get his chance to shine early, while junior col-lege transfer Gannon Sinclair also looks to factor in. Both saw signifi cant snaps this spring and are part of the program’s long-term plans. Richard Darden (So., Memphis, Tenn.) played in eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2012 and will provide a sizeable reserve, along with freshman Adam St. Peter (Joplin, Mo.), a 6-foot-4 newcomer. “Boatright can split out, block on the line and do it all,” said Barkema. “Sinclair is a great blocker, and Darden got better this spring which will give us solid depth going into the fall.”A Look at the Tight Ends

OFFENSIVE LINE Missouri State enters fall camp with an impres-sive total of 14 returning offensive linemen. But outside of the team’s three returning starters in the trenches -- Kurt Kutter (Sr., O’Fallon, Mo.), Zack Cooley (Jr., Lebanon, Mo.) and Richard Galbierz (Jr., Fenton, Mo.) -- there are only three lettermen in that core group of Bear veterans. However, of-fensive line coach Sean Coughlin says having good numbers leads to good depth. “I think you’ll see us play more guys than we have in the past,” Coughlin explained. “We just need to continue to build as much depth as we can to become a better group up front.” Kutter is a two-year starter who will anchor the left guard spot after carrying a 98-percent assign-ment grade. Coffeyville (Kan.) transfer Cameron McLain (Jr., Gardner, Kan.) will be Kutter’s under-study with Logan Bauer (RFr., Springfi eld, Mo.). Cooley, who was a Freshman All-America pick two years ago, has started 22 straight games at left tackle and will bring some stability to that spot. Backing him up will be fourth-year man Jordan Rainey (Jr., Joplin, Mo.), redshirt freshman Sam Schwartze (Springfi eld, Mo.) and newcomers David Godsey (Fr., Kansas City, Mo.) and Sam Ellifrits (Fr., Nevada, Mo.). Galbierz started all 11 games at right guard as a sophomore and is expected to pick up where he left off. Veteran and two-time letterman Kyle Hahn (Sr., O’Fallon, Mo.) will push for signifi cant time behind him, while redshirt freshman Stephen Riley (Wentzville, Mo.) and Alex Cooley (Fr., Lebanon, Mo.) will provide depth to the right of center. Physical center Robert Booker (So., Ozark, Mo.) is the preseason favorite to take over starting duties after the departure of two-year starter Harrison Menke to graduation. Booker had an impressive spring transitioning to the club’s regular snapper, while redshirt freshman Riley Shantz (Springfi eld, Mo.) will back him up. At right tackle, Patrick Blanar (Jr., El Mirage, Ariz.) appears to be primed and ready for the task. “There are three or four guys who can play right tackle,” said Coughlin. “We have to replace an NFL guy in (2012 senior) Randy Richards, and I think Blanar had a really good spring at that spot.” Sophomores Patrick Morse (Springdale, Ark.), Jake Lasater (St. Charles, Mo.) and Jake Arthur (Eldridge, Iowa) will all play behind Blanar, along with newcomer Gus Carter (Fr., Republic, Mo.). “Kooley and Cutter have played a lot of football, and Galbierz is starting for a second year,” said Coughlin. “Considering all the game experience they’ve had and the time they’ve had on the fi eld, that will help us tremendously up front.”A Look at the Offensive Linemen

DEFENSIVE LINE Few teams in the FCS ranks have as much depth and experience on the defensive line as the 2012 Bears. With eight returning lettermen and nine returning squad members, Missouri State’s three spots on the d-line will be loaded with talent on any given play. “It’s not the depth I’m excited about,” said MSU defensive line coach Courtney Sanders. “But the most important thing is experience. We’ve got guys who have played a lot of football against quality opponents. They’re eager, they’re hungry and they want to win.” Leading the charge will be All-MVFC honorable mention pick and pro prospect Anthony Grady (Sr., Texarkana, Ark.). Besides his 6-foot-7 frame, Grady has great balance and strength to lead the pack of talent at left end. He posted 49 tackles and 5.0 sacks a year ago to lead all MSU defensive linemen and when healthy poses a constant threat in the pass rush. Sophomores James Barnes (St. Louis, Mo.) and Corey Feagin (Cedar Hill, Texas) both lettered last season and combined to bring down 27 ball carriers in reserve roles. They’ll push Grady for playing time and provide solid leadership for incoming freshman McKinze James (Camden, Ark.). At nose tackle, Eric Pearce (Sr., Springdale, Ark.) is a game-changer who brings three letters and two years as a starter to the table. His reputation, work ethic and power make him a formidable foe for opposing offensive linemen and a nasty assignment on game day. Fifth-year man Tevan Ferguson (Sr., Nashville, Tenn.) earned a medical hardship for an extra season, and he’ll rotate in at nose tackle, along with fellow senior Spencer Emerson (Des Moines, Iowa) who saw action in 10 games last fall. Redshirt freshman Khellan Bruce (Memphis, Tenn.) is the fourth man in the rotation at nose tackle and has unlimited potential as a future standout. On the right end, competition will be fi erce be-tween C.J. Randall (Sr., Chandler, Ariz.) and Martin Montgomery (Sr., Pine Bluff, Ark.). The Bears will benefi t from that competition with Montgomery col-lecting 7.5 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks as a junior as a deadly pass rusher, while Randall brings a rugged presence against the rush and pass. Highly-regarded true freshmen Cecil Bratton (St. Joseph, Mo.) and Tony Jones (Wynne, Ark.) will also give the Bears some depth at right end. In all, MSU’s returning defensive linemen ac-counted for 22.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks and 170 total stops a year ago. But Sanders’ troops know the potential for success this fall starts up front.A Look at the Defensive Linemen

Anthony Grady (6-7, 289, Sr., Texarkana, Ark.) Eric Pearce (6-2, 306, Sr., Springdale, Ark.) C.J. Randall (6-6, 273, Sr., Chandler, Ariz.) Martin Montgomery (6-3, 267, Sr., Pine Bluff, Ark.) Tevan Ferguson (6-3, 305, Sr., Nashville, Tenn.) James Barnes (5-10, 242, So., St. Louis, Mo.)

McKinze James (6-3, 253, Fr., Camden, Ark.) Tony Jones (6-7, 230, Fr., Wynne, Ark.)

INSIDE LINEBACKER As a freshman in 2011, Andrew Beisel (Jr., Fen-ton, Mo.) led the Bears in total tackles, tackles for loss and forced fumbles en route to earning MVFC All-Newcomer honors. This season, the junior

standout will face perhaps his biggest challenge yet as he anchors a solid group of inside linebackers. “I feel really good about what we have coming back,” said Bears’ ILB coach Taiwo Onatolu. “Beisel is going on his third year now, and he’s really expe-rienced, so we’re going to count on him in to help us in a lot of ways this year.” The Bears will have some depth at Beisel’s “Buck” linebacker position with senior Ryan Callender (Dal-las, Texas) and junior Seginald Chaney (Jackson-ville, Fla.) in the wings. Callender has played in more college games than any other MSU player (35), has earned four spot starts over the past two seasons and has brought down 80 ball carriers in that span. Chaney started three times in 2012 after transferring from Independence (Kan.) Community College and is coming off a fantastic spring that saw him register 7 tackles in the Maroon and White Game. On the other side, Tim Piccarreto (Sr., Phoenix, Ariz.) emerged from the pack this spring as the favorite to start at “Mac” linebacker. He started the fi nal two games of the 2012 campaign, registered 14 tackles in that span and posted 7 tackles in the MSU spring game. Piccarreto will get competition from emerging star Christian Hoffmann (So., Joplin, Mo.) who started fi ve games as a redshirt freshman, fi nished eighth on the team in tackles (41) and also had an impressive spring campaign. Onatolu also noted that incoming freshman Erik Furmanek (Belleville, Ill.) has the tools to contribute right away and provide his group with additional depth.A Look at the Inside Linebackers

Andrew Beisel (6-2, 238, Jr., Fenton, Mo.) Tim Piccarreto (6-2, 235, Sr., Phoenix, Ariz.) Ryan Callender (6-1, 223, Sr., Dallas, Texas) Christian Hoffmann (6-1, 227, So., Joplin, Mo.)

Seginald Chaney (5-11, 217, Jr., Jacksonville, Fla.) Erik Furmanek (6-3, 240, Fr., Belleville, Ill.)

OUTSIDE LINEBACKER What the Bears lack in depth at outside linebacker, they make up for in quality. Proven standout Nick Canavan (Sr., Norman, Okla.), who has started 23 college games over the last three seasons, will be the driving force for the OLBs. Canavan is tabbed to start at the “Will” linebacker spot and is second among all active Bears in career tackles (168) and tackles for loss (14.0). “Nick Canavan goes into his senior year as the leader of our group,” said MSU outside linebackers coach Wayne Chambers. “He’s a high-energy guy who plays like his hair’s on fi re every snap.” Redshirt freshman Rique Bentley (Neptune Beach, Fla.) will provide a sturdy backup for Cana-van after he led the squad with 14 tackles in the Maroon and White Game this spring with 3.5 tackles for loss. Returning squadman Garrett Eaton (Jr., Mountain Grove, Mo.) will also provide depth at Will. On the opposite side, redshirt freshman Dylan Cole (Rogersville, Mo.) is bursting at the seams to make his college debut. The athletic and energetic local product has added 20 pounds since he arrived on campus last fall and is the front runner at “Sam” linebacker. “Dylan is a young guy with a ton of potential who’s got the size, speed and physicality,” said Chambers. “He’s relatively new to defense, but had a really good spring for us.” Junior college transfer Jeremy Springer (Jr., Villa Rica, Ga.) was in camp this spring after ending his career at Dodge City (Kan.) Community College. He’ll push Cole for playing time after a solid spring and a 50-tackle sophomore year at Dodge City.

MISSOURI STATE TEAM TRAVEL SUMMARYsnagged 5 intercep-tions and defended 11 passes ... and also maintained a 3.95 GPA. His tag team partner at free safety is Mike Crutcher (Jr., Wen-tzville), who has also started all 22 games of his MSU career. A rugged competitor, Crutcher registered 67 tackles in 2012 and posted 2 interceptions. “It’ll be good to have those two guys coming back as starters as they head into their junior seasons,” said defen-sive coordinator D.J.

Vokolek. “We also moved John Edwards to safety along with Art Rucker, so we have to have some guys just step up.”

Rucker (Sr., Shawnee, Kan.) played in 9 games last fall after coming to Springfi eld from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College. Edwards (So., St. Louis, Mo.) sat out the 2012 season after transferring from Valparaiso where he was an 11-game starter in 2011. Both players had great success this spring, including a 7-tackle performance by Edwards in the Maroon and White Game. Additional depth at safety will come from third-year man Alex Kostas (So., Warrensburg, Mo.), redshirt freshmen Dalton Freeze (Stockton, Mo.), Matt Miller (So., West Des Moines, Iowa) and highly-touted freshman Kurran Blamey (Monett, Mo.)A Look at the Safeties

SPECIAL TEAMS The Bears have all of their primary specialists returning from last season, including senior kicker Austin Witmer (Grand Island, Neb.), punter Chris Sullens (So., Camdenton, Mo.) and long snapper Colby Wickwar (So., Nixa, Mo.). Witmer was 12-for-16 on fi eld goals in 2012 and led the club in scoring (56) in his third season as a starter. He has quietly emerged as one of the top kickers in the league and complements Sullens who ranked fourth in the MVFC and 33rd nationally in punting average (41.03) as a freshman in 2012. The Bears will have the rare luxury of depth at kicker and punter with redshirt sophomore Marcelo Bonani (Lake Wales, Fla.) backing up both posi-tions, and incoming freshman kicker Shelby Harris (Nixa, Mo.) waiting in the wings. Julian Burton leads a deep cast of candidates to return punts and kickoffs again this fall after averag-ing 22.0 yards per return on kick returns and 6.5 on punts in 2012 with a team-high 21 total attempts. A Look at the Specialists

Austin Witmer (6-5, 188, Sr., K, Grand Island, Neb.) Chris Sullens (6-0, 181, So., P, Camdenton, Mo.) Colby Wickwar (6-0, 202, So., LS Nixa, Mo.) Marcelo Bonani (5-11, 165, So., P/K, Lake Wales, Fla.) Hunter Hays (6-0, 204, Jr., LS, Clinton, Mo.) Shelby Harris (5-11, 225, Fr., K, Nixa, Mo.)

A Look at the Outside Linebackers Nick Canavan (6-0, 211, Sr., Norman, Okla.) Dylan Cole (6-0, 220, RFr., Rogersville, Mo.) Rique Bentley (6-0, 210, RFr., Neptune Beach, Fla.) Jeremy Springer (6-1, 208, Jr., Villa Rica, Ga.) Garrett Eaton (6-1, 190, Jr., Mountain Grove, Mo.)

CORNERBACK The Bears return both starters at cornerback as seniors Howard Scarborough (Tulsa, Okla.) and Sybhrian Berry (Camden, Ark.) resume their familiar roles this fall. The tandem has combined for 39 career starts and 34 passes defending in their tenure at MSU. Scarborough defended 11 passes last season alone and fi nished fourth on the team in solo tackles (27), but cornerbacks coach B.J. Stotser says he hopes the best is yet to come. “They both had good years last year, but now is the time for them to build on what they’ve done,” said Stotser. “Howard has the capability. He plays smart and that helps us tremendously. Sybhrian has all the tools with his speed and athleticism, he just needs to stay healthy. If he can pull it all together, there’s no end to the production they can give us.” The other senior corner is Jeremiah Plowden (Wichita, Kan.) who played in all 11 games as a transfer from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College last fall. He along with walk-on Marquis Little (Jr., St. Louis, Mo.) and freshmen Eric Greely (Fr., Liberty, Mo.) and Darius Ivy (Marked Tree, Ark.) give the Bears the necessary understudies to defend against the pass. “Anytime you have seniors and experience, it’s always a positive to have that leadership,” said Stot-ser. “Plowden had a good spring. Greely and Ivy are good additions, and it’s good for them to learn from our veteran guys.”A Look at the Cornerbacks

Howard Scarborough (5-9, 171, Sr., Tulsa, Okla.) Sybhrian Berry (5-9, 174, Sr., Camden, Ark.) Jeremiah Plowden (5-11, 187, Sr., Wichita, Kan.) Marquis Little (5-9, 181, Jr., St. Louis, Mo.) Eric Greely (6-1, 185, Fr., Liberty, Mo.) Darius Ivy (6-0, 175, Fr., Marked Tree, Ark.)

SAFETY It’s diffi cult to imagine any program in The Valley with as much talent at the safety positions as the Bears boast in 2013. Start with All-America strong safety Caleb Schaffi tzel (Jr., Fair Grove, Mo.), who is already on the Buck Buchanan Award Preseason Watch List in addition to numerous preseason All-America honors. As a sophomore, he posted a team-high 109 tackles,

Terry Allen is in his eighth season at the helm of the Missouri State program, making his head coaching tenure the fourth longest in Bears history. He was named MSU’s 19th head foot-ball coach on December 20, 2005 and has produced 47 all-conference players and 29 academic all-conference players in his fi rst seven campaigns in Springfi eld. In his inaugural season at Missouri State, Allen inherited a senior-heavy team that fi nished 2-9. However, the Bears dropped four games by a touchdown or less that season and lost another contest by 10 points. The team landed three players on the 2006 all-conference list and set the foundation for the program’s future. Allen then took his charges to an exciting 6-5 campaign in 2007, the biggest improve-ment for a Missouri State team in 19 years. The Bears were 5-1 at home in year two and produced 36.3 points per game, MSU’s best scoring average ever for an 11-game season. MSU also scored 49.5 points a game for the team’s six home contests. MSU also knocked off three ranked op-ponents in 2007 and landed three on the All-MVFC squad. Sophomore tight end Clay Harbor and freshman lineman David Arkin joined kicker Nathan

Stokes for all-league honors. Harbor was also named to the AP Third-Team All-America squad, while senior TB Gerald Davis set a school record with 19 rushing touchdowns. In 2008, the Bears continued to make strides under Allen’s leadership. Despite a 4-7 overall record, the substance of the team’s performance showed a 3-3 road mark, which matched the school’s most road victories since 1996. Likewise, the team’s 3-5 record in the new-look Missouri Valley Football Conference equalled the team’s most league wins since 1993. MSU also lost two games by margins of eight points or less along the way. Even more impressive in 2008 was the effort put forth by the program’s inventory of underclassmen. Harbor, a junior, earned All-MVFC fi rst team honors for the second straight year, while moving up to Second Team on the AP All-America list. Joining Harbor on the all-conference squad were sophomore guard Arkin and second-year quarterback Cody Kirby. In 2009, the Bears notched their second winning campaign in three years under Allen, once again going 6-5 and 4-4 in the MVFC. MSU was 3-2 on the

road, including fi rst-ever wins at Youngstown State and North Dakota State along with the squad’s fi rst victory at Western Illinois since 2001. Eight players were recognized by the MVFC as all-confer-ence per-formers, including

fi rst-teamers Harbor, Arkin and Newcomer of the Year Antoine Wilkinson (LB). Harbor became Allen’s fi rst Missouri State player drafted into the NFL when he was snagged in the fourth round of the 2010 Draft by the Eagles. The 2010 season saw the Bears go unde-feated at home, marking the fi rst time since 1992 that an MSU team had gone unbeaten at Plaster. The Bears also knocked off three Top 25 opponents -- No. 20 Youngstown State, No. 18 Western Illinois and No. 17 North Dakota State. MSU also beat two Divi-sion I playoff opponents, including eventual national quarterfi nalist NDSU, en route to tying for third place in the MVFC standings. The Bears landed seven players on the 2010 All-MVFC Team, including Arkin and Wilkinson on the fi rst team. Arkin became the second Bear picked in the NFL Draft in as many years when the Dal-las Cowboys picked him up in the 2011 fourth round, capping a consensus All-America season for the standout tackle. One of the nation’s toughest schedules saw the 2011 Bears struggle out of the gates before winning their fi nal two road games and spoiling the playoff hopes of a solid Youngstown State team in the season fi nale. MSU dropped four contests by a touchdown or less in the 2-9 run, including one double overtime decision. Running back Chris Douglas and receiver Jermaine Saffold signed NFL free agent con-tracts after the 2012 draft, with six MSU play-ers earning all-conference honors -- including Saffold on the fi rst team -- and three making

the Valley All-Academic Team. The 2012 Bears had one of the program’s best second-half runs, turning an 0-6 start into a 3-6 ledger with a three-game Valley win streak in late October. The stretch included a road win over No. 11 Illinois State, an eventual FCS national playoff qualifi er. The Bears took eventual national champion North Dakota State to the wire in a 21-17 home loss to start November, a game that saw Allen’s Bears hold the Bison to just 84 total yards in the second half with the game in the balance. Sophomore defensive back Caleb Schaffi t-zel joined junior receiver Dorian Buford on the 2012 All-MVFC fi rst-team with Schaffi tzel earning CFPA National Defensive Back of the Year and Academic All-America distinction. Offensive lineman Randy Richards also earned AFCA and AP All-America honors in 2012, while Schaffi tzel earned AP and Sports Network All-America laurels. Prior to his arrival in Springfi eld, Allen’s 75-26 record between 1989 and 1996 at UNI made him the winningest coach in MVFC his-tory at the time (he currently ranks second). His Panther teams won or shared league titles seven straight seasons from 1990-96 and competed in the NCAA playoffs each of his

last seven years, including runs to the national semifi nals in 1992 and 1996. UNI was also undefeated at home in conference play during his tenure in Cedar Falls. Allen was named MVFC Coach of the Year fi ve times in his last six seasons at UNI and was named Kodak Regional Coach of the Year in 1992 and 1996. Starting in 1992, UNI was nationally ranked for 87 consecutive weeks. Allen followed more than 20 years at UNI with fi ve seasons as head coach at Kansas (1997-2001) and later four seasons as associ-ate head coach, tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at Iowa State. The Jayhawks were 20-33 Allen’s fi ve sea-sons as head coach at Kansas. Included in that tenure were wins over nationally-ranked Colorado and three victories over Missouri. He also guided KU to its 500th all-time win in 1997 and opened his fi nal season with a 24-10 win over MSU. Allen’s KU and UNI tenures fi nished with a collective 95-59 overall record, including a 63-4 record when his teams led at the half. He also tutored nine future NFL players during that stint, including all-pro quarterback Kurt Warner who was the 1999 and 2001 NFL Offensive Player of the Year for the St. Louis Rams. The

1995 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Bills’ linebacker Bryce Paup, also played for Allen. Moving to Iowa State as associate head coach in 2002, Allen renewed a lengthy relationship with Cyclones head coach Dan McCarney who was Allen’s prep track coach in Iowa City. In four seasons at Iowa State, the Cyclones went to three bowl games with Allen coaching special teams. A 1979 physical education graduate of UNI, Allen immediately joined Stan Sheriff’s staff after his playing career ended. He took the role of graduate assistant coach in the fall of 1979 and then moved to a full-time position the next year and stayed on the staff when Sheriff handed the reins to Darrell Mudra in 1983. During his decade as a UNI assistant, Allen had responsibility at various times for quarterbacks, offensive backs and receivers. Allen was a standout prep quarterback at West High School in Iowa City and started three seasons as UNI’s top QB. In his head coaching career, he has mentored 21 AP All-America players and 205 all-conference selections. Allen’s father, Robert, played football and was an NCAA champion swimmer at Iowa. He also served as an assistant football coach and head swim coach for the Hawkeyes for 16 years. He and his wife, Lynn, have three children; Angie, Chase and Alex.

Allen-Era Superlatives



D.J. Vokolek is in his eighth season as the Bears’ defensive coordinator and also assists with coaching the Bears’ safeties. He has been the Bears’ assistant head coach since he joined the staff in 2006. Vokolek also has administrative respon-sibilities including facilities, medical liaison, marketing and promotion. Vokolek came to MSU after serving on the staff of the 2005 conference co-champion and NCAA Division I runner-up Northern Iowa program. Last season, the Bears fi nished 33rd nationally in pass defense and 42nd in total defense with three MSU defenders earning All-MVFC honors. Sophomore safety Caleb Schaffi tzel was a fi rst-team all-league pick, Academic All-America selection and CFPA National Defensive Back of the Year. In 2011, a solid freshman nucleus made up three of the team’s top four tacklers. Andrew Beisel (ILB), Mike Crutcher (S), and Caleb Schaffi tzel (S) combined for 237 total stops, with Beisel and Crutcher earning MVFC All-Newcomer honors. The previous campaign was highlighted by a season-ending shutout over No. 17 North Dakota State, a program that ultimately advanced to the 2010 Division I quarterfi nals. The win marked MSU’s fi rst

shutout win during the Terry Allen era. The 2010 Bears also fi nished 24th nation-ally and third in the MVFC in sacks per game (2.45), while ranking 30th in turnover margin (+0.36) behind 11 interceptions. Under Vokolek, the Bears changed to a 3-4 front in 2009 and improved by nearly 120 yards per game in total defense. Vokolek has boasted 12 MVFC All-Newcomer selections at Missouri State, including 2009 Newcomer of the Year An-toine Wilkinson, and 19 all-conference picks on the defensive side of the ball. Prior to his time in Springfi eld, Vokolek was on the staff of UNI head coach Mark Farley in 2003 as assistant head coach and linebackers coach. He added the position of co-defensive coordinator in 2004 and assumed all the de-fensive duties for the 2005 campaign. Vokolek went to Cedar Falls after six years as an assistant coach at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. From 1997-99 he was linebackers coach and academic coordinator for the Mav-ericks and coached linebackers as defensive coordinator at UNO from 2000 to 2002. Among the many outstanding recruits he landed at UNO was current MSU assistant coach Taiwo Onatolu.

A native of Lincoln, Neb., Vokolek was a four-year gridder at Nebraska-Kearney, serv-ing as team captain three seasons and winning NCAA Division II All-Nebraska honors three times as a linebacker. He gradu-ated from UNK in 1992 with a degree in biol-

ogy and was a graduate assistant for three seasons at Nebraska-Omaha, earning his master’s degree in physical education at UNO in 1996. He coached the defensive secondary at Wayne State for one season before return-ing to UNO for a six-year stint there. Vokolek and his wife, Pam, have two chil-dren, Travis and Leah.

Rob Christophel is in his seventh season on the Missouri State staff as the Bears’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. After helping engineer an offense that ranked 20th nationally in pass effi ciency in 2011, Christophel and the Bears went through an offensive rebuilding phase last fall. MSU rebounded to average 24.6 points over its last fi ve ball games, surrendered just 1.36 sacks per game and boasted three all-conference players. He’ll have seven starters and 18 lettermen back on the offense in 2013 including a talent-rich backfi eld and three-fi fths of a starting o-line that was 22nd nationally in sacks allowed. Upon his arrival in Springfi eld in 2007, Christophel installed a no-huddle, spread offense that produced the highest scoring av-erage in school history for an 11-game season in 2007 as the Bears averaged 36.3 points. The Bears also averaged 49.5 points at home and went 5-1 at Plaster. In 2008, the Bears’ offense produced 312.9 yards per game, an All-American tight end in Clay Harbor, and four All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selections. Harbor collected AP All-America and fi rst-team All-MVFC honors for the third straight year in 2009, and was selected by the Phila-delphia Eagles in the fourth

round of the NFL Draft. Likewise, the 2010 offensive unit produced a consensus All-American in OT David Arkin who was picked by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The 2010 Bears fi nished 13th in the nation in total offense (425.45) and 11th in rushing yards per game (214.18), while committing just 13 turnovers in 11 games. Behind fi rst-team All-MVFC receiver Jermaine Saffold and the league’s top producer of total offense Trevor Wooden, MSU posted the nation’s 20th-best pass ef-fi ciency in 2011 (145.03), which ranked just behind Youngstown for the league lead. A veteran with more than 20 years experi-ence at the college level, Christophel came to Missouri State after spending fi ve campaigns as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. ULL ranked seventh in Division FBS rushing offense in 2005 while leading the Sun Belt in nine of-fensive categories. In 2006, the Ragin’ Cajuns were 14th nationally and fi rst in the Sun Belt in rushing offense and second in total offense. From 1997 to 2002, Christophel was of-fensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., where

the offensive units he guided were among the top 10 in pass-ing offense and total offense in the NAIA from 1998-2000. Christophel held a similar position from 1992 to 1997 at Idaho State. He was also receivers coach three years and QB/WR coach for fi ve years

at Murray State from 1984 to 1992. A native of Reading, Ohio, Christophel is a 1984 graduate of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn. He and his wife, Paula, have two sons, Ty-ler and current Bears’ wide receiver Eric who will be a sophomore this fall.

Sean Coughlin is in his eighth season at Missouri State and directs the Bears’ offensive line unit. Coughlin came with Allen in 2006 to Mis-souri State from Iowa State where he worked alongside the current MSU head coach as a graduate assistant and offensive line as-sistant. Coughlin worked with the Bears’ tight ends and fullbacks his fi rst two years and took over offensive line coaching duties in 2008. Over the last six seasons, Coughlin’s line-men have earned MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors 11 times. With four starters back in 2012, the Bears surrendered just 1.36 sacks per game, which ranked 22nd nationally. Coughlin also mentored AP and AFCA All-America selection Randy Richards, a two-year starter who tallied 56 knockdown blocks and posted an 85-per-cent overall grade for the season. In 2011, the Bears had four new starters up front, but found success in center Harrison Menke who played every offensive snap and Zack Cooley who claimed freshman All-Ameri-ca distinction by College Sports Journal. In 2010, standout lineman David Arkin earned consensus All-America and second-team Academic

All-America honors before being picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Fellow 2010 graduate Jake Duron also moved to the NFL ranks by signing a free agent deal with the New York Jets and later pursuing a pro career in the arena leagues. With four seniors in the 2010 starting lineup, Coughlin’s trench workers helped MSU average 425.45 yards per game last season, which ranked 13th in the Division I FCS ranks and second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Bears also tallied 214.18 yards per game on the ground which ranked 11th in the nation. Arkin, an eventual four-time all-conference pick also earned fi rst-team honors in 2009. After working four new starters into the offensive line alignment in 2007, Coughlin returned four starters to the trenches in 2008, which helped the Bears boast one of the league’s top pass protection units and highest scoring offenses. The 2001 Drake University graduate has a background as a standout offensive lineman from his playing days. A three-time all-

Pioneer Confer-ence offensive guard at Drake, he was a fi rst-team all-con-ference choice from 1998-2000 at Drake and earned All-America honors from Football Ga-zette his fi nal two seasons. He was the Drake team captain in 2000. Coughlin coached three sea-sons at his alma

mater, working the 2001 and 2002

seasons as assistant offensive line coach and tight ends coach for the Bulldogs. He led the Drake offensive line in 2003, coaching two all-conference fi rst team linemen. He joined the Iowa State offensive staff in 2004 and spent two seasons there working with the offensive line while pursuing his mas-ter’s degree in higher education (2006). The Kildeer, Ill., native earned his bache-lor’s degree in history from Drake in 2001. He is the NFL liaison on the MSU coaching staff and coordinates MSU’s Pro Day and summer team camps. He has a daughter, Natalia.

Courtney Sanders begins his sixth season on the Bears’ coaching staff. The talented defensive line coach came to Missouri State in May of 2008 and has quickly stockpiled a talented unit to headline the MSU defense. This fall, MSU returns 14 squad members on the defensive front, including 8 lettermen and all 3 starters. Nose tackle Eric Pearce started all 11 games, while defensive ends Anthony Grady and Martin Montgomery earned the starting call 8 and 5 times, re-spectively. C.J. Randall, Tevan Ferguson and Corey Feagin also earned valuable starting experience in 2012 for a d-line that tallied 2.1 sacks per game and allowed less than 200 yards per game through the air. Grady earned All-MVC honorable mention distinction and helped the Bears with 49 tack-les, including 8 for loss with 5 sacks. The same core unit of Pearce, Ferguson and Montgomery combined for 97 total stops in 2011 while averaging 1.64 sacks per game. Senior Mikel Ruder earned All-MVFC second-team honors from his left defensive end spot. In 2010, the Bears’ front three included se-niors Levi Moore and Waylon Richardet who combined for 79 tackles in the 3-4 set. The 2010 Bears ranked 24th nationally in sacks per game (2.45) and were 69th in rush-ing defense.

In his second season with the Bears in 2009, Sanders coached second-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference defensive end Richardet, and fellow starter Ruder. The pair combined for 22 starts and accumulate 89 total tackles, including 10 for loss. Since his arrival, Sanders has helped the Bears’ pass rush improve dramatically, from 0.91 sacks per game in 2008 to a nationally-ranked 2.45 average in 2010. Sanders is a native of Stamps, Ark., where he was a four-sport athlete in high school with numerous all-state honors in football as a senior. He played football for three seasons for the Boll Weevils at Arkansas-Monticello and graduated in 2002 from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where he also earned his master’s degree in 2006. While at Arkansas, he worked on the Razorbacks’ football staff in a variety of as-signments from 2001-08. Among those tasks was working in quality control on both offense and defense, including fi lm breakdown and academic monitoring of student-athletes. He was also a graduate assistant on the defensive side of the football, and worked for one season in the strength and conditioning

department. During his tenure with the Arkansas Razorbacks, he worked alongside sev-eral future NFL stars, including Eagles’ of-fensive tackle Jason Peters, Atlanta de-fensive end Jamaal An-derson, and Chicago Bears’ defensive tackle Marcus

Harrison, among others.

In addition to his duties as the Bears’ defen-sive line coach, he is responsible for recruiting the state of Arkansas while serving as a liaison with the Bears’ strength and condition-ing program. He and his wife, Veronica, are the parents of two daughters, Courtland and Layla Star.

Wide receivers coach Mike Chandler is in his fourth season on the Missouri State staff and heads into the 2013 campaign with one of the league’s top pass receivers in his arsenal. Chandler is a 2000 graduate of the Uni-versity of Kansas where he earned a degree in economics. He earned Jayhawks’ team MVP and team captain honors in 1999, while earning Big 12 All-Academic Team honors. He played his last three seasons with the Jayhawks for current MSU head coach Terry Allen. From Kansas, Chandler went to the Charleston (S.C.) Swampfoxes of the Arena Football League where he played from 2000-03 and earned team captain honors in his fi rst season. He put together a stellar pro career as a receiver and defensive back for the Swampfoxes during his three seasons with the club. He also enjoyed professional stints with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League, Buffalo (N.Y.) Destroyers of the Arena Football, and a brief stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001. After pro football, he went into private busi-ness before beginning his coaching tenure in April 2005 at Colleton County (S.C.) High School as wide receivers coach and assistant offensive coordinator. He

spent nearly two seasons in that capacity before advancing to the college ranks in January 2007 with an appointment at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College. He helped guide FSCC to the No. 1 nationally-ranked offense and No. 2 scor-ing offense, while coaching quarterbacks and running backs for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. He also served as strength and conditioning coordinator and video supervisor at Fort Scott before coming to Missouri State in August 2009 as a part-time assistant. Chandler earned full-time coaching status at Missouri State in the spring of 2010 after a superior effort during the 2009 season that saw his receivers earn two league awards, including All-Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence honorable mention honors by Jared Emery and MVFC All-Newcomer status by freshman Cadarrius Dotson. In 2010, he continued to advance the MSU receiving corps with 12 different players regis-tering pass receptions during a 5-6 campaign. Junior standout Jermaine Saffold earned All-MVFC second-team honors after collecting 53 catches for 869 yards. Likewise, Dotson picked up where he left off his freshman

year and had 38 catches, includ-ing a reception in each of his fi rst 21 games as a Bear. In 2011, Saffold broke the MSU single-season (913) and ca-reer (2,221) records for receiving yards and earned All-MVFC fi rst-team distinction before sign-

ing a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. Last season, junior Dorian Buford earned fi rst-team All-MVFC honors after pulling in 59 passes for 642 yards to lead a quartet of play-ers with 25 catches or more. Buford ranked 2nd in the league in receptions per game (5.36), which translated to 47th nationally. Chandler has 10 returning squad members and 5 lettermen back in camp this season.

Wayne Chambers begins his fourth season with the Missouri State coaching staff in 2013. The long-time Oklahoma mainstay will guide the Bears’ outside linebackers. During his fi rst season in the Missouri State program in 2010, he boasted one All-Missouri Valley Football Conference performer in hon-orable mention pick Terian Washington who started 10 times for the Bears as a senior and picked up 50 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Likewise, Chambers helped true freshman Nick Canavan burst into the Bears’ lineup in week 4 en route to an MVFC All-Newcomer Team performance that included 50 stops, 6 TFLs and an interception. With the help of the outside linebackers, the Bears fi nished 24th in the nation in sacks per game (2.45) and were 30th in the Divi-sion I FCS ranks in turnover margin (0.36), ranking third in the competitive MVFC in both categories. In 2011, Canavan collected 9 starts and fi nished fi fth on the team in total tackles (53), while junior Rodney Kelly emerged as a full-time starter and collected 46 stops, includ-ing 23 solo tackles. Junior Nate Davis also factored into the mix with 44 tackles, a pair of starts and a share of the team lead in fumble recoveries. With 143 tackles be-

tween them, the standout trio of outside back-ers returns in 2012 to provide a balanced and experienced core for Chambers to work with. In 2012, Chambers’ unit featured All-MVFC honorable mention selection Nate Davis who was second on the club in total tackles (75) and solo stops (44) with team-highs 9 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. Nick Canavan added 65 total stops to give the Bears’ starting OLB’s two of the club’s top fi ve tacklers on the season. Chambers, a native of Kansas City, Mo., was a three-year performer (2002-04) at Oklahoma under head coach Bob Stoops, where he made the transition into coaching. After spending 2007 as a defensive quality control and administrative assistant, Cham-bers served as a graduate assistant coach at Oklahoma in 2008 and 2009 under Stoops, working primarily with defensive backs and the offensive scout team. He also assisted in the recruiting efforts for the Sooners. OU was a combined 20-7 in those two seasons with an appearance in the BCS Championship game in 2008-09 and Sun Bowl trip in 2009-10. While on the Sooners staff, he helped mentor future NFL players Clint Ingram, Curtis Lofton, Nic Harris, Lendy Holmes, Dominque

Franks, Brian Jackson and Quinton Carter. As a player, Chambers guided OU to a 36-5 record, two Big 12 titles and two BCS National Champion-ship appear-ances in three sea-sons. From 2002-03, he collected 50 total tackles, 29 solo tack-les, 10

tackles for loss, one sack and a

caused fumble. He notched a career-high 12 tackles against Missouri and 10 against UCLA and was considered one of the top 15 inside linebackers in the nation out of high school. After missing 2004 with an injury, Chambers completed his undergraduate years work-ing as a student assistant and helping with linebackers and the special teams. He graduated from Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in marketing (2005) and a master’s in human relations (2009).

Now in his eighth season overall with the Missouri State program, B.J. Stotser joined the Missouri State coaching staff on a full-time basis on June 27, 2011. Stotser fi rst came to the MSU program in August of 2006 as a graduate assistant during Terry Allen’s fi rst season at MSU and assisted long-time defensive backs coach Rob Bolks in the Bears’ secondary. During his time as a graduate assistant, he served as a lab professor for PED 100 courses and assisted with anatomy labs for the Health, Physical Education and Leisure professors. He maintained his status as a GA through the 2008 season when he completed his master’s in sports management from Missouri State. In December 2008, he stayed on with the MSU staff as a volunteer assistant, continu-ing to work with the defensive backs, but also assuming additional duties such as advance scouting, breaking

down game fi lm, defensive game plan and scouting reports, defensive signal implemen-tation and press box coaching on game day. During the spring of 2010, Stot-ser changed over to assist with coaching outside linebackers before current OLB assistant coach Wayne Chambers offi cially began his coaching tenure. In the fall of 2011, he helped mold a young MSU secondary with freshmen Caleb Schaffi tzel and Mike Crutcher accounting for 18 combined starts at safety. Crutcher earned MVFC All-Newcomer honors and was a fi nalist for the Jerry Rice Award as the top FCS freshman player in the nation. Stotser also helped coach standout corner Jimmie Strong who earned All-MVFC second-team honors in 2011 and broke an MSU record at the time with a 91-yard interception return for a touchdown at Western Illinois. In 2012, the Bears ranked 33rd

nationally in pass defense, giving up less than 200 yards per game while surrender-ing just 158.1 yards per game in conference play. The Bears’ secondary qua-drupled its in-terception total from 2011 with cornerbacks Sybhrian Berry, Howard Scarborough and James Caine com-bining for 119 tackles and 3 picks. The native of Wellsburg, Iowa, played his college

football at Northern Iowa where he was part of three Missouri Valley Football Conference championship teams in 2001, 2003 and 2005. The 2001 squad reached the NCAA Division I FCS semifi nals, while the 2005 Panthers advanced to the FCS title game in a 21-16 loss to Appalachian State. The standout cornerback at UNI completed his bachelor of arts in physical education with an emphasis in sports psychology and a minor in coaching in December 2005. Stotser and his wife, Liz, reside in Spring-fi eld. The couple has a daughter, Lilia, who turns two in November.

Taiwo Onatolu begins his third full season with the Missouri State family in 2013 after joining Terry Allen’s coaching staff on July 18, 2011 as the inside linebackers coach for the Bears. Onatolu is a native of Papillion, Neb., and spent the 2007 to 2010 seasons as an assis-tant at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. He was recruited to UNO as a standout linebacker out of Papillion-LaVista High by current MSU Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator D.J. Vokolek. He went on to start four seasons for the Mavericks, earning All-NCC fi rst-team honors three times and All-America fi rst-team honors in 2004. He was the North Central Conference’s most valuable linebacker in 2004 after posting 98 tackles and 5 interceptions. He was in on 71 tackles as a senior, helping him earn All-America second and third-team honors by different agencies. He fi nished his four-year stint at UNO as the program’s No. 2 all-time tackler with 371 total stops. He also tallied 46.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, 7 interceptions and 182 solo tackles in 44 games. He helped the Mavericks to a pair of NCC titles and a 2005 playoff ap-pearance. After completing his degree in Commu-nication, Public

Affairs & Community Service from UNO in 2006, Onatolu stayed with Coach Pat Behrns’ UNO program for two years as a graduate assistant coach, working with the squad’s linebackers. He coached All-American safety Randy Kush in 2007, the school’s all-time leader in interceptions. He moved to full-time status in March 2010 and helped UNO to a combined 29-16 ledger during his four years on staff, including NCAA Division II playoff appearances in 2007, 2008 and 2009. In his fi rst season at Missouri State in 2011, he had the best of both worlds with a gritty and determined senior in David Ingram at one inside linebacker spot and a redshirt freshman in Andrew Beisel at the other. Beisel went on to record a team-high 84 tackles, becom-ing the fi rst MSU freshman since 1998 to lead the club in total stops and earned MVFC All-Newcomer Team distinction. Ingram, who started all 11 games, tallied 77 tackles and fi nished third on the squad. Sophomore Ryan Callender was also in the mix at middle linebacker in 2011 and fi nished seventh on the squad with 47 stops and a pair of starts. In 2012, Onatolu used fi ve

different starters in his rotation, including Beisel who led all mid-dle linebackers with 73 stops in 10 games, while redshirt freshman Christian Hoff-mann brought down 41 ball carriers with 5 starts in an impressive debut cam-paign. Ona-tolu’s twin brother, Kenny,

is currently a linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. He was also an All-NCC linebacker at UNO and began his pro career in the Cana-dian Football League. Onatolu is single and resides in Springfi eld.

Iowa State product Ben Barkema joined the Bears’ coaching staff on Jan. 25, 2013 and will take over duties working with the squad’s tight ends and special teams unit. Barkema was the defensive line coach for Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa, dur-ing the 2012 season. He also assisted with special teams and video coordination while recruiting the states of Iowa and Wisconsin. His 2012 Peacocks’ punt return unit ranked third nationally in the NCAA Division II ranks. Prior to his time at Upper Iowa, Barkema spent three years (2009-2012) at his alma mater as a graduate assistant coach for the Iowa State Cyclones. In that capac-ity, he recruited the states of Missouri and Kansas, organized the offensive scout team and worked with the team’s linebackers and special teams. He also spent the 2008 season as an offensive assistant coach at Iowa State and helped with the team’s tight ends and offensive line. While at ISU, he coached four All-Big 12 players, including 2011 conference defensive player of the year A.J. Klein as well as Jake Knott (2010, 2011) and Jesse Smith (2009). As a standout player for the Cyclones, Barkema started 36 games at tight end from 2003-07. He caught 52 passes for 566 yards and scored 4 touchdowns

during his career. He matched a career-high with 18 recep-tions during his senior season in 2007 and completed his college career averaging more than 10 yards per reception. His ten-ure in Ames also saw him play in the 2004 Independence Bowl and 2005 Houston Bowl. As a freshman, he had 2 receptions for 23 yards in the Independence Bowl win over Miami (Ohio) and tacked on 3 catch-es for 24 yards in a narrow Houston Bowl loss to TCU his sophomore season. The Cyclones fi nished 7-5 during the 2005 campaign, includ-ing three losses in overtime. His best individual game effort also came in the 2005 season when he snagged 3 recep-tions for 61 yards and a touchdown in a 30-16 home win over Colorado (Nov. 12, 2005). An academic standout throughout his career, he earned Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll status in the fall of 2006 and spring of 2007 and was an Academic All-Big 12 second-team selection in 2007. Bears’ head coach Terry Allen was Barkema’s position coach at Iowa State from 2003-05. Likewise, MSU offensive line coach Sean Coughlin was also on the ISU coach-

ing staff for the 2004 and 2005 seasons during Barkema’s play-ing days with the Cyclones. At the con-clusion of an outstanding playing career, Barkema was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent following the 2008 NFL Draft. After his playing

days ended, he returned to Ames

for the 2009 season. A native of Muscatine, Iowa, Barkema was a three-sport prep standout, earning all-state honors in football and basketball while leading his team to the state tournament in baseball. He was also Quad City Times’ 2003 Male Athlete of the Year. He earned his undergraduate (2007) and master’s (2011) degrees from Iowa State Uni-versity.

Former Bears’ standout Gerald Davis will begin his fourth season on the coaching staff in 2013 and continues to coordinate the team’s running backs. No stranger to Missouri State football fans, Davis returned to the program in 2010 as a part-time member of the coaching staff and made an immediate impact. The Bears fi nished 11th in the nation in rushing offense (214.18) and 13th in total of-fense (425.45) in 2010 as Davis helped guide a solid group of tailbacks. Junior Chris Douglas was named to the All-Missouri Valley Football Conference squad as an honorable mention pick, while becom-ing MSU’s 10th 1,000-yard rusher. Douglas fi nished second in the nation in yards per carry (6.9) and was 27th nationally in rushing yards (95.55). Classmate Stephen Johnston accounted for 752 yards on 147 carries and had a solid comeback season after missing the entire 2009 campaign. In 2011, the Bears replaced 80 percent of their offensive line and adjusted as the season progressed. Douglas tallied 511 yards on 146 carries, while Johnston closed out his career with 260 yards on 81 attempts. After the season, Douglas landed an NFL free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills and be-

came Davis’ fi rst pro signee. In 2012, freshman All-American and MVFC All-Newcomer Team selection Ryan Heaston paced the efforts of the MSU backs as he tallied 424 yards in just seven games while racking up nearly 600 all-purpose yards. Junior workhorse Vernon Scott also stood out, gaining all 11 starts and tacking on 343 yards, while Mikael Cooper-Falls tallied 3 rushing touchdowns and 318 ground yards with 4.4 yards per attempt. This fall, the Bears have 100 percent of their rushing yards, including four returning lettermen, back. MSU has also signed three freshman running backs to its 2013 class to provide a solid foundation for the future. Prior to returning to Missouri State and the college football ranks in 2010, Davis put to-gether a record-setting senior season in 2007 for MSU as a player. He started two seasons for Terry Allen and set Missouri State’s single-season records for most touchdowns (19) and points (114) during his senior campaign. He guided the Bears to a 6-5 fi nish in 2007 and was named honorable mention All-MVFC after earning the team’s Most Valuable Player Award. He rushed for a team-best 830 yards on 156 carries in his fi nal

season. The St. Louis, Mo., native was a four-year letterman for the Bears from 2004-07. The Patton-ville High prod-uct notched a school record fi ve rushing touchdowns against In-diana State (10/27/07) and claimed Coors Player of the Year honors

as a senior co-captain. He also had two 100-yard rushing games as a senior, including a career-high 123-yard effort against Illinois State (10/6/07). Davis currently resides in Springfi eld and is also active in working with community youth.

2012 REVIEW2013 Football Guide


Rare Shot at the Contenders Rare Shot at the Contenders The Bears opened the campaign with the best that college foot-ball had to offer in 2012. In fact, MSU was the only team in college football to play two Top 25 FBS foes in non-conference play. A season-opener at No. 22 Kansas State and Heisman candidate Collin Klein preceded a trip to No. 23 Louisville and its highly-ac-claimed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in early September. Both the Wildcats and Cardinals fi nished 11-2 overall and landed in BCS bowls in January with the clubs fi nishing 12 and 13, respectively, in the fi nal AP poll. The Bears were game to take on the Wildcats in Manhattan on Sept. 1 and matched K-State punch for punch in the early rounds. Austin Witmer kicked three fi eld goals -- from 24, 35 and 26 yards. His fi nal 3-pointer of the night with 10:43 left in the third quarter knotted the game, 9-9, and kept the biased crowd of 50,007 in check. Klein broke the deadlock on a key third-and-18 play midway through the third quarter. An 18-yard TD pass to Tramaine Thomp-son broke the tie and put the Wildcats up 16-9, a score that held until early in the fourth period. In the fi nal stanza, the Wildcats used their depth to pull away, reeling off 35 points in the period -- and the fi nal 42 points of the game -- to claim a 51-9 victory. Missouri transfer Ashton Glaser fi nished his MSU debut 22-for-44 through the air for 257 yards. Dorian Buford collected 7 recep-tions for 114 yards, and Cadarrius Dotson was equally impressive with 6 catches for 82 yards. The Bears collected 418 total yards, compared to 493 by the Wildcats, with Nate Davis’ 12 tackles pacing a rugged MSU defen-sive unit. For his part, Klein fi nished 19-for-28 for 169 yards and a pair of touchdowns to jump start his memorable season. The following week, the Bears again held their own early against a much more physical Louisville team. Down 18-0 late in the second quarter, the Bears rallied with a 73-yard touchdown drive just before the intermission, capped by a 6-yard pass from Glaser to Dotson to make it 18-7 at the break. Glaser completed all fi ve of his pass attempts for 63 yards on the drive, which took less than two-and-a-half minutes to execute. The Bears appeared to catch a break midway through the fi rst quarter when Louisville muffed a punt return, and the Bears’ An-thony Lee pounced on the loose ball at the Cardinal 30-yard line. But the call was overturned after an offi cial video review indicated the punt was not touched by Louisville, which kept possession. Terry Allen’s troops accumulated just 111 total yards in the fi rst 30 minutes with only fi ve fi rst downs, while Bridgewater was an ef-fi cient 21-for-26 for 259 yards for Louisville in the fi rst half. The Cardinals pushed ahead 25-7 in the third quarter with an 11-play, 75-yard drive and then put things out of reach with 10 points in the fi nal period. UofL posted four scoring drives of at least 70 yards in a 35-7 victory and held the Bears to just 249 total yards on the day. Kierra Harris engineered a late MSU drive that started at the Bears’ 17-yard line and got them down to the Louisville 25. But a fumble there ended the Missouri State threat with Harris running down a Louisville fumble return at the 1-yard line on the play to save a touchdown. MSU’s Caleb Schaffi tzel led all defenders with 20 total tackles, while Glaser fi nished 14-for-23 through the air for 125 yards to lead the Bears’ offense. Missouri State gained just 249 total yards, but surrendered just one sack and turned the ball over twice.

Heaston and the Home StandHeaston and the Home Stand The Bears got their fi rst glimpse of Plaster Field on Sept. 15 when they entertained the Murray State Racers from the Ohio Val-ley Conference. The rainy conditions and gray skies throughout the day did little to spoil the mood for the amped-up home opener that included postgame fi reworks and a concert at Plaster. But, a 75-yard drive by Murray State capped with a touchdown early in the fourth quar-ter did as the Racers slipped away with a 28-23 victory. A 15-yard pass from Casey Brockman to Jaamal Berry put the Racers ahead by fi ve with 14:20 left in the game. Missouri State would get fi ve more possessions from there only to turn the ball over twice, punt twice and turn the ball over on downs at the Mur-ray State 16 with 4:34 to go. The Bears led on three occasions and outgained the visitors by a 441-399 margin but struggled in clutch situations throughout the night. MSU converted just 5-of-17 third-down attempts and scored just three times in fi ve trips to the red zone.

Ashton Glaser was 28-for-50 through the air for 337 yards while accounting for a pair of touchdowns. Dorian Buford continued to shine with 9 catches for 112 yards, while freshman Ryan Heaston had a breakout effort with 64 yards on 11 carries off the bench. Murray State’s Brockman fi nished 41-for-59 for 313 yards to es-

Hot Finish Overshadows Early-Season Woes

In his fi rst Missouri State appearance, Ashton Glaser threw for 257 yards at No. 22 Kansas State. The Bears entered the fourth quarter down 16-9, but unrav-eled in the fi nal period despite an outstanding debut by the junior transfer.



tablish MSU opponent records for completions and pass attempts. He accounted for three Racers’ scores despite constant MSU pres-sure and four sacks. The next week, rival Southern Illinois invaded Springfi eld in the Missouri Valley Football Conference opener for both squads. The Salukis raced out to a 14-0 lead in the fi rst 10 minutes of the game and then put things on cruise control with solid defense in a 14-6 decision. The Bears racked up 362 total yards and surrendered season-lows 198 yards and 11 fi rst downs to SIU. But it was untimely turnovers that sealed the fate of Coach Allen’s Bears. MSU had two turnovers in the fourth quarter alone and three total on the afternoon to squash some key scoring chances. SIU’s fi rst take-away resulted in a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown by Emmanuel Souarin to make it 7-0 less than fi ve minutes into the game.

Austin Witmer later connected on fi eld goals of 25 and 43 yards before halftime to make it a one-possession game. But the maroon rivals combined for 12 punts in the second half -- and 20 for the game -- in a defensive gem. Still the Bears had opportunities late in the day to salvage things. After a missed SIU fi eld goal early in the fourth quarter, the Bears drove to the Saluki 34 on the ensuing drive. With the potential

game-tying touchdown in sight, the Bears coughed up a fumble there on the sixth play of the drive to end the threat. Later the Bears forced SIU into its 11th punt of the day that pinned the home club in at its own 7-yard line with 2:24 on the clock. But Glaser’s fi rst pass of the Bears’ fi nal drive was picked off, and the Carbon-dale club ran out the clock to seal the win. Heaston stole the offensive spotlight with 126 ground yards on 22 carries and 153 all-purpose yards for Missouri State. Buford posted his second straight game with 9 receptions, while tight end Matt Thayer notched career highs with 8 receptions for 72 yards.

On the Road AgainOn the Road Again The pair of narrow home losses left the Bears reeling as they headed to South Dakota State and Indiana State. Missouri State closed out the month of September at No. 25 SDSU. Aside from an 88-yard, fi rst-quarter touchdown run from Zach Zenner -- the national rushing leader -- the Bears surrendered just 2.4 yards per carry on the night and kept fi ghting to erase an early 10-0 defi cit.

Ashton Glaser capped a 62-yard touchdown drive with a one-yard carry with 78 seconds left in the opening half to make it a 10-7 game at the break. However, whatever regrouping the Bears intended to do in the second half never developed, and the visitors could get no traction. MSU turned the ball over four times in the second half, including three interceptions by Glaser, the last of which killed a fourth-quarter drive to the SDSU 17-yard line. Earlier, South Dakota State capitalized on another MSU mishap, covering 24 yards on just four plays after Glaser’s third pick of the contest. Brandon Hubert snagged an 8-yard touchdown pass from Austin Sumner with 11:34 left in the game to make it a 17-7 game. That’s all the scoring the Jackrabbits would need as Zenner fi n-ished with 182 yards on 30 carries (6.1 ypc), while MSU’s Heaston overshadowed the top running back in the FCS ranks by posting 148 yards on 20 carries (7.4 ypc). Heaston fi nished with 183 all-purpose yards and turned heads nationally with his efforts.

Nate Davis and Caleb Schaffi tzel combined for 25 total tackles to pace the MSU defense with Davis contributing a sack, 12 solo tackles and 14 stops in the game. The next week at Indiana State, the Bears’ mishaps continued in the fi rst half with MSU coughing up three turnovers in the fi rst 30 minutes to fall behind 14-7 at the intermission in Terre Haute. Backup quarterback Kierra Harris then jump started the offense, engineering scoring drives on Missouri State’s fi rst two posses-sions of the third quarter. A partially-blocked punt set the Bears up in ISU territory early in the second half and led to a 38-yard fi eld goal by Witmer to make it a 14-10 game. Less than four minutes later, Harris hit Matt Thayer from 2 yards out to cap a 56-yard scoring drive and put the visitors ahead for the fi rst time, 17-14, with 4:53 left in the third. But the league’s returning Offensive Player of the Year, Shakir Bell, put the Sycamores on his shoulders and turned the tides. Bell had been kept in check most of the afternoon, but collected 67 yards on 8 carries on ISU’s fi rst drive of the fourth quarter, including a 24-yard touchdown. Bell fi nished with 113 yards on 25 carries. Down the stretch, ISU took advantage of a running-into-the-punt-er penalty to sustain a 54-yard scoring drive that eventually led to a 26-yard fi eld goal to make it a 31-17 game. The drive consumed nearly six minutes in all, and when the Bears tried to rally late, ISU snagged its third interception of the afternoon to end the threat and seal the two-touchdown victory. Harris fi nished 12-for-15 for 131 yards, while Dorian Buford led all players with 8 receptions for 56 yards. As a team, the Bears fi nished with a pass completion percentage of 81.5 on 22-for-27 completions. Andrew Beisel’s 11 tackles led the MSU defense.

Ryan Heaston’s Plaster Field debut saw him average 5.8 yards per carry and a game-high 64 ground yards against Murray State. He followed that effort with his fi rst 100-yard effort the next week against Southern Illinois, amassing 126 yards on 22 carries to go 153 all-purpose yards in the MVFC opener. Heaston was named MSU Media Player of the Week in both contests.



The Transformation BeginsThe Transformation Begins Even though the Bears were competitive at times during all six of their losses to start the 2013 season, it was evident in mid-October that MSU was on the verge of a breakthrough. That breakthrough came in a big way on Oct. 13 when Missouri State entertained league newcomer South Dakota and saved its best for last. The Bears, who trailed 21-3 at halftime, scored 17 points over the fi nal fi ve-and-a-half minutes to post their fi rst win of the 2012 season in dramatic fashion. Missouri State, which entered play without having scored in the fourth quarter all season, mustered just 283 yards of total offense on the day, including 173 yards in the fi nal period. The Bears also played turnover-free football for the fi rst time in 2012. Sophomore quarterback Kierra Harris turned in a strong performance in his fi rst starting assignment of the season, fi nish-ing 20-of-33 for 214 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Julian Burton, the MVC Special Teams Player of the Week, totaled 166 all-purpose yards, including three punt returns for 68 yards and four receptions for 98 yards. Harris led the Bears’ late charge, connecting with Burton on a 60-yard scoring strike with 5:27 to play, then fi nding Eric Chris-tophel from 25 yards out on the equalizing touchdown with just under two minutes left on the clock. The Bears’ defense also came up big late in the contest, as Andrew Beisel and Mike Crutcher teamed up to force a critical fumble that ultimately led to Christophel’s game-tying touchdown. MSU then came up with a key stop on the Coyotes’ ensuing drive, and Burton’s 30-yard punt return--a Missouri State season long--set up Austin Witmer’s second fi eld goal of the day that handed the Bears their fi rst home victory since a November 20, 2010 win over North Dakota State. After yielding 265 yards of total offense in the opening half, the MSU defense stiffened in the second stanza, limiting the Coyotes to 110 yards after the half. Anthony Grady played a starring role in the turnaround, totaling two of his three sacks in the second half and coming up with the key recovery of the momentum-swinging USD fumble with just over three minutes to play. The Bears’ defense also received a lift from Beisel and Crutcher, who fi nished with 12 and 10 tackles, respectively, while leading tackler Caleb Schaffi tzel came up with 11 stops. The victory also snapped a six-game home losing streak for Mis-souri State and started a team transformation that carried through the end of the season.

Bears Become Road WarriorsBears Become Road Warriors The following week, MSU posted its only road victory of the season, but it did so in grand fashion with a 24-17 win over No. 11 Illinois State, an FCS playoff qualifi er in 2012. Down 14-12 with 9:25 to go, the Bears and backup quarterback Ashton Glaser went to work. Mikael Cooper-Falls helped lead the team down the fi eld, carrying seven times on the winning drive to burn the clock and move the chains. But it was Glaser’s clutch passes that kept the Bears’ hopes alive. First, on a third-and-three play from their own 31, Glaser hit Matt Thayer for three yards to sustain the possession. Later, the junior signal caller connected with Thayer for 18 yards to the ISU 22. And fi nally a 15-yard completion to Tre Kelley to the Redbirds’ 11-yard line set up the winning touchdown - a two-yard run by Glaser -- two plays later. Glaser entered the game late in the fi rst half when starter Kierra Harris took a helmet to his hip. Harris would return briefl y, but Gla-ser completed the game-winning drive. He fi nished 5-for-5 through air for 49 yards to go with 13 ground yards on the possession. After the Bears took the 19-14 lead, the Redbirds muffed the

ensuing kickoff out of bounds at their own three-yard line and set up shop there with 2:53 to play. But on the fi rst play from scrim-mage, Howard Scarborough tackled Darrelynn Dunn in the end zone for the visitors’ second safety of the afternoon to make it a 21-14 game.

Austin Witmer later booted a 42-yard fi eld goal, his second of the game, to make it 24-14. The Redbirds tacked on a 47-yard fi eld goal with 10 seconds left in the game to sustain hope, however the ensuing kick was recovered by Matt Swan for the Bears who ran out the clock and snapped a four-game road skid.

Homecoming Heroes Slash LeathernecksHomecoming Heroes Slash Leathernecks Missouri State extended its overall winning streak to three with a dominant 42-3 homecoming win over Western Illinois on Oct. 27.

Kierra Harris threw three fi rst-half touchdown passes and com-pleted all 13 of his pass attempts in the fi rst half to help MSU build a 28-13 advantage. In fact, the Bears reeled off 35 unanswered points after a WIU fi eld goal early in the second quarter made it a 7-3 game at the time. None of MSU’s six scoring drives took longer than two-and-a-half minutes to complete, and Harris accounted for four of the six touchdowns. Freshmen Tre Kelley and Cedric Miller each scored their fi rst MSU TDs.

Mikael Cooper-Falls led all players with 95 rushing yards on 12 carries. The Springfi eld native also fi nished with 117 all-purpose yards to help pace MSU’s second-best rushing effort of the season -- 207 yards. On the defensive side, the Bears turned in a dominant perfor-mance by holding the Leathernecks to 224 total yards and just 6-of-21 on third down. MSU also picked off three passes, including two

Kierra Harris’ fi rst start of the season came in Week 7 when he helped the Bears overcome a 21-3 defi cit against league newcomer South Dakota for Mis-souri State’s fi rst victory of the season.

Bison Back in Springfi eldBison Back in Springfi eld Certainly one of the most memorable games of the 2012 cam-paign came on Nov. 3 when the top-ranked and defending national champion North Dakota State Bison rolled into Plaster Field. The Bears held NDSU to 84 total yards in the second half and cut into a 14-7 halftime defi cit with a game-tying score at the 9:34 mark of the third quarter. On MSU’s fi rst possession of the second half, Kierra Harris capped a 62-yard drive on the 10th play with a 16-yard touchdown run. The Bears did most of their damage on the ground on the series, rushing seven times for 53 yards on the pos-session, including a 20-yard run by Mikael Cooper-Falls. Late in the quarter, Sam Ojuri -- who tallied a game-high 118 yards on 24 carries -- pushed the visitors ahead with a 5-yard TD run. The score was set up by a fumbled MSU punt return at its own 11 yard line just two plays earlier and proved costly for the Bears. Austin Witmer’s 44-yard fi eld goal early in the fi nal period drew the Bears within four, but MSU could not take advantage of several scoring opportunities from there. Missouri State forced the Bison into a pair of three-and-outs late in the game, but the home team’s offense failed to convert a fourth-and-one at the NDSU 30 on one possession. On the Bears’ fi nal drive, Harris had rushes of 21 and 13 yards to push MSU to its own 47 before an errant pass was picked off by NDSU with 1:13 to go, clinching a 21-17 NDSU win.

Craig Bohl’s squad held MSU to just 149 total yards on the day. The Bison went on to win their second straight NCAA Division I title on the momentum of a nine-game winning streak to end the year. Schaffi tzel posted 10 tackles and 2 interceptions, including a school-record 100-yard return in the fi rst quarter. His efforts earned him Valley Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second week in a row as well as three national defensive player awards.

Hot Streak Ends in Chilly Cedar FallsHot Streak Ends in Chilly Cedar Falls After a week off to recover from the narrow loss to North Dakota State, the Bears headed to Northern Iowa for the season fi nale on Nov. 17. MSU looked to be catching the perennial league front runners at a good time with UNI entering the fi nal week of the year at 4-6 overall and the same 3-4 league record as the Bears. However, after allowing the fi rst 38 points of the game, the Bears had to put together a pair of impressive fourth-quarter drives of 92 and 87 yards to make the fi nal score a respectable 38-13. With 5:41 remaining in the game, the Bears scored fi rst on a six-yard touchdown run by Mikael Cooper-Falls that capped a 13-play scoring drive covering a season-high 92 yards. A 38-yard completion from Kierra Harris to Cadarrius Dotson set up the score by Cooper-Falls. Harris fi nished 29-for-39 through the air for 230 yards while tying a school record for completed passes. Dotson, a senior, had 101 yards receiving in his fi nal career effort, while Dorian Buford caught 9 passes for 73 yards. Buford’s fi nal catch of the day was a seven-yard TD pass from Harris to cap an 87-yard scoring drive that took 12 plays. Buford’s catch came with just 18 seconds left in the game and gave the Bears 324 yards of total offense -- 179 on the fi nal two drives of the day. UNI produced 460 total yards and 20 fi rst downs in winning its seventh straight against MSU.

Sept. 1, 2012, Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, Kan.

Missouri State ........................................................9(22) Kansas State ................................................51

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Missouri State matched 22nd-ranked Kansas State blow for blow for nearly three quarters before the Wildcats reeled off 42 unanswered points to run away with a 51-9 victory before a sellout crowd of 50,007 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kansas State rushed for 324 yards – including 222 in the second half -- on 40 total carries, and Collin Klein passed for 169 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns. The K-State defense and special teams fueled its second-half rally. KSU got a pair of big punt returns that led to touchdowns, while its defense held MSU scoreless after a game-tying fi eld goal at the end of the Bears’ opening drive of the second half. The Bears’ offense enjoyed success moving the football, as Missouri transfer Ashton Glaser paced the MSU offense in his debut outing, throwing for 257 yards on 22-of-44 passing. Dorian Buford turned in 114 yards on seven catches to lead the receiving corps, and Cadarrius Dotson grabbed six receptions for 82 yards to top the 1,000 career receiving yardage mark. After both defenses combined to seal the goal lines over the fi rst 38 minutes of the contest, Klein came up with the game-changing play when he found Tramaine Thompson in the corner of the end zone on a critical third-and-14 from the Missouri State 18-yard line to put the Wildcats on top for good, 16-9. That play capped a 48-yard drive over which Klein was a perfect 5-of-5 for 45 yards through the air. Just as they did all night, special teams played a pivotal role in another KSU scor-ing chance that ultimately handed the Wildcats their fi rst double-digit lead of the night late in the third quarter. MSU’s Chris Sullens boomed the fi rst of three long punts to send return man Tyler Lockett deep into his own territory, but the sophomore outran the Bears’ coverage to bring the ball all the way to the MSU 32 with a 43-yard return. Five plays later, Braden Wilson took it in from four yards out to make it 23-9. In spite of a 67-yard Sullens punt that pinned the Wildcats on the two-yard line early in the fourth period, KSU found a way once again. On the second play of the drive, John Hubert took a handoff from Klein and raced 95 yards to put KSU up, 30-9. Hubert’s dash eclipsed a Missouri State opponent record for the longest rush. The lopsided fi nish came in the wake of a highly competitive fi rst half that was highlighted by a pair of fi eld goals by MSU’s Austin Witmer who made it a 9-6 game at the intermission.

Sept. 8, 2012, Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, Ky.

Missouri State .........................................................7(23) Louisville ......................................................35

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Despite another competitive performance against a Top 25 FBS opponent, the Bears fell victim to a career passing day by Louisville quarter-back Teddy Bridgewater in a 35-7 loss to the 23rd-ranked Cardinals at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. Bridgewater, who completed 30-of-39 passes for 344 yards and a pair of touch-downs, connected with 10 different receivers in surpassing previous career highs for completions and passing yardage to help keep the Cardinals in control. UL racked up 475 yards of total offense and was a combined 11-of-17 on third and fourth downs. The Cardinals defense did its part as well, holding the MSU offense to just 249 yards on the day. Louisville was particularly effective in grounding the Bears’ rushing attack, limiting MSU to 99 yards on 31 carries. The Cardinals scored the fi rst 18 points of the game before taking an 11-point lead into intermission. The U of L defense allowed the Bears just 111 yards of total offense and fi ve fi rst downs in the opening half, while Bridgewater completed 21-of-26 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown through the fi rst 30 minutes. Louisville got the ball rolling on its second offensive possession of the day, capital-izing on a 55-yard Bridgewater completion to Charles Gaines to set up the Cardinals deep in MSU territory. After Louisville converted a fourth and one opportunity at the 11, the Bears’ defense stiffened, stopping Bridgewater at the three on a third-down rush attempt to force a 19-yard fi eld goal by Matt Nakatani. The Bears appeared to catch a break midway through the fi rst quarter when Gaines muffed a punt return, and MSU’s Anthony Lee pounced on the loose ball at the Cardinal 30 yard line. But the call was overturned after an offi cial review con-cluded that the ball was untouched, giving Louisville a fi rst down instead. The Cardinals took advantage of the reprieve, marching 70 yards in 12 plays over 4:08 to reach the end zone and ultimately take an 11-0 lead. Bridgewater led the charge, coming up with a trio of third-down conversions to keep the drive alive, the biggest of which was a 21-yard hookup with Andrell Smith that gave Louisville a fi rst-and-goal at the fi ve. Senorise Perry punched it in from three yards out two plays later, and the Cards tacked on a two-point conversion to lead 11-0 late in the fi rst period. MSU, which didn’t register a fi rst down until midway through the second period, fi nally got in gear in the closing minutes of the half. Ashton Glaser engineered the Bears’ late push, completing all fi ve of his pass attempts for 63 yards on the drive, including a six-yard scoring toss to Cadarrius Dotson with just 0:51 to go in the half, capping a 73-yard drive that covered eight plays in just 2:27.

Murray State ......................................................... 28Missouri State ..................................................... 23

SPRINGFIELD - Despite outgaining visiting Murray State, the Bears came up short on the scoreboard in a rainy, back-and-forth 28-23 season opener at Plaster Field. Murray State quarterback Casey Brockman helped stake the Racers to a 14-point lead in the fi rst half, then put them on top for good early in the fourth quarter with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Jaamal Berry to overcome a late Missouri State lead. Murray State, which trailed the Bears on two different occasions in the second half, delivered in dramatic fashion. The two clubs traded leads throughout a competi-tive third quarter before Brockman’s second touchdown pass of the night with 14:20 left in the game settled the score for good. Brockman, who broke a Bears’ opponent record for passing yards (520) in the clubs’ last meeting, established Bear opponent records for pass completions (41) and attempts (59) this time, fi nding 11 different receivers in racking up 313 passing yards. The Bears mounted the only serious scoring threat in the game’s fi rst 15 minutes, as quarterback Ashton Glaser hooked up with Dorian Buford on a 69-yard completion from deep in MSU territory to give the Bears a fi rst down at the Murray State 28-yard line. However, the Racers’ Jarius Williams stepped in front of Glaser’s second-down pass for an interception. The visitors then seized control over a seven-minute stretch, using a 12-play, 72-yard drive to put the game’s fi rst points on the board. Murray State covered the fi nal 25 yards of its fi rst scoring drive on the ground and took to the air for its second touchdown to lead 14-0 with just over three minutes left in the half. Missouri State got into the scoring act on its fi nal possession of the half, moving the ball 75 yards in just 1:10 to cut its defi cit to 14-7. The two offenses heated up in the third quarter, combining for 23 points and 321 yards of total offense. The Bears continued their comeback by driving the ball 71 yards to pay dirt on their fi rst possession of the second half. Glaser, who completed all seven of his pass attempts for 59 yards on the drive, found a wide-open Julian Burton over the middle for a 32-yard strike to pull the Bears even at 14-14. Murray State wasted little time in reclaiming the lead at 21-17 on a one-yard touchdown run by Brockman to cap a 63-yard drive late in the third, but Glaser scored on a six-yard run to punctuate a 75-yard drive for the Bears, putting the home team back in the lead. The Racers later came up with a key block on Austin Witmer’s PAT try, keeping the margin at 23-21 with 1:22 left in the third.

Southern Illinois..................................................14Missouri State ........................................................6

SPRINGFIELD - Southern Illinois raced out to a 14-point lead in the fi rst 10 minutes of the contest then rode a strong performance from its defense to close out a 14-6 win over the Bears at Plaster Field. The Saluki defense forced three key turn-overs, including an interception return for a touchdown, to send MSU to an 0-4 start. Despite dominating nearly every offensive statistical category and generating several scoring opportunities, the Bears never could reach the end zone against the Saluki defense. SIU held the Bears to 120 yards of offense in a scoreless second half to preserve the win, overshadowing a standout effort from the MSU defense, which limited the Salukis to 198 yards on the day and held the visitors without a third-down conversion in 13 tries. Freshman running back Ryan Heaston led the MSU offense with 126 yards on 22 rushes, while junior receiver Dorian Buford reeled in nine catches to match his personal best for receptions. Additionally, Matt Thayer hauled eight receptions for 72 yards, both representing career-best totals for the senior tight end. Missouri State outgained the Salukis 362 to 198 and recorded 20 fi rst downs to just 11 for SIU, but a series of missed opportunities and 100 penalty yards, combined with a clutch defensive effort by SIU proved to be more than the Bears could overcome. SIU scored fi rst, getting a key defensive play to take an early 7-0 lead. Emmanuel Souarin stepped in front of an Ashton Glaser pass and returned the ball 44 yards for a Saluki touchdown just four minutes and 59 seconds into the game. After stopping the Bears’ offense on the ensuing possession, the Salukis put together a 63-yard scoring drive to take a commanding 14-point lead. Kalokoh sparked the drive with a 36-yard run to set up SIU in the red zone, before taking a swing pass from Faulkner and trotting into the end zone with 5:54 remaining in the period. The Bears answered with an 11-play drive to put their fi rst points on the score-board. Heaston ripped off a 14-yard rush, and Glaser connected on all four of his pass attempts to help MSU drive 68 yards to the SIU seven before the drive stalled. Witmer then nailed a 25-yard fi eld-goal attempt to draw the Bears to within 14-3. Missouri State moved the ball deep into Saluki territory again on its next posses-sion, thanks to a pair of long Glaser completions. The junior transfer connected with Eric Christophel on a key 30-yard gain on third down from the MSU 33, then hit Thay-er for a 14-yard completion to push the chains to the Saluki 23. SIU forced a fi eld goal attempt, but a running into the kicker penalty gave the Bears new life at the SIU 12. Three straight Heaston rushes moved the ball to the fi ve, but the Salukis came up big on fourth down, stopping Heaston just shy of the fi rst down to halt the drive. After forcing another SIU punt deep in its own territory, the Bears took over in prime position. A 26-yard punt gave MSU the ball at the SIU 30, but the Bears moved the ball just four yards before Witmer kicked a 43-yard fi eld goal to make it 14-6.

BROOKINGS, S.D. - Another gritty effort by the Missouri State defense was over-shadowed by fi ve turnovers in the Bears’ 17-7 loss to No. 25 South Dakota State. The Bears failed to fi nd the endzone in the second half, despite numerous opportu-nities created by the club’s defense. For the second week in a row, freshman Ryan Heaston showcased his fl ashy moves with 185 all-purpose yards, including 150 rushing on 20 carries. Starting quar-terback Ashton Glaser fi nished 15-for-39 with four interceptions and a fumble. Aside from an 88-yard scamper by Jackrabbits’ running back Zach Zenner in the fi rst quarter, the Bears’ defense was able to limit the nation’s leading rusher to an av-erage of 3.2 yards per carry on his other 29 attempts. Zenner eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in just fi fth game of the season and fi nished with 182 yards on 30 carries. It looked as if the MSU offense would respond on its third drive. The Bears moved the chains with back-to-back Heaston runs of 24 and 22 yards. Two plays later though, the momentum shifted with Glaser’s fi rst interception of the night. Starting on its own 37, SDSU then advanced the ball all the way down to the MSU 30 before Zenner coughed it up. Forced by safety Mike Crutcher, cornerback Howard Scarborough fell on the ball at the spot of the fumble. The duo of Scarborough and Crutcher came up big again as the Jackrabbits looked to recover from their turnover in the previous drive. Scarborough’s tip traveled right into the hands of Crutcher for SDSU’s second turnover of the game. But, the Bears had just one subsequent fi rst down and were unable to capitalize. Before the end of the fi rst half, SDSU tapped in a 23-yard fi eld goal to lead 10-0. Heaston went to work with runs of 9 and 22 yards before receiver Julian Burton pulled down a Glaser pass and tiptoed down the sideline for a 28-yard reception to the SDSU 3-yard line. Heaston moved it ahead another two yards, before Gla-ser pushed it in for the score. Glaser’s one-yard run capped a fi ve-play drive and snapped a six-quarter drought by the MSU offense. The third quarter belonged to the defensive units as the two teams combined for three turnovers, three punts and a missed fi eld goal. That theme carried into the fourth quarter as MSU’s Sybhrian Berry killed a Jackrabbits’ drive deep in Bears’ ter-ritory. On the fi rst play of the quarter, Berry went airborne in the endzone and pulled down his second pick of the night to become just the fourth Bear in the Terry Allen era to record two interceptions in a game. Eerily similar to the fi rst half, Missouri State soon turned it right back over with Glaser’s third interception and fourth turnover overall. SDSU benefi tted from the costly turnover and capped a short four-play drive with an 8-yard TD strike from Sumner to Brandon Hubert. With MSU attempting to rally late in the fourth, Glaser threw a fourth pick deep in the endzone. As the SDSU defender raced the other way, Burton caught him and took the ball back. However, the Bears were unable to muster a score and ultimately fell to 0-5 all-time against South Dakota State.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - It was a tale of two halves for the Bears, but in the end it was the league’s defending offensive player of the year who made the difference as Shakir Bell carried Indiana State to a 31-17 win over visiting Missouri State. Bell collected 113 yards on 25 carries, including a key fourth-quarter touchdown to put the game out of reach. The Bears turned the ball over three times in the fi rst half and surrendered a long kickoff return to fall behind 14-7 at the intermission. But reserve quarterback Kierra Harris jumpstarted the MSU offense early in the third quarter with a pair of quick scor-ing drives to give Missouri State the lead. Harris led the Bears to scoring drives on their fi rst two possessions of the second half. The fi rst a 38-yard fi eld goal by Austin Witmer at the 8:18 mark, set up by a partially-blocked punt on the Sycamores’ fi rst drive of the second half. The Bears covered just 21 yards on the ensuing seven-play drive, but pulled within 14-10. The Bears forced ISU into a three-and-out on the home team’s next series to take over in good fi eld position at their own 44. On second-and-10 from there, Harris hit Julian Burton in stride to the Indiana State 9 for a 47-yard completion. Three plays later, Harris hit Matt Thayer for a 2-yard pass to give the Bears a 17-14 lead. ISU bounced off the canvas with a 75-yard drive of its own. Michael Mardis had receptions of 31 and 16 yards on the six-play scoring possession, and ISU got helped by a facemask penalty against the Bears to set the Sycamores up at the MSU 16. The next play, Mike Perish hit Mardis from 16 yards out on a misdirection play to put the home club back ahead 21-17 with 1:23 left in the third quarter. After forcing the Bears into their fourth punt of the afternoon, the Sycamores then turned to Bell to seal the win. Bell, who had been held in check throughout the after-noon to that point, took the game on his shoulders and collected 67 ground yards on eight rushes on the next drive, including a 24-yard touchdown run. His scamper at the 9:23 mark of the fi nal quarter pushed ISU ahead 28-17. It was Bell’s fi rst carry of more than 9 yards on the day. The Bears went three-and-out on their next series and punted the ball back with 8:27 to go. Indiana State then took advantage of a running-into-the-punter penalty to sustain the drive at the 6:45 mark, then converted a pair of fourth-down plays to keep the clock running. ISU drove all the way to the MSU 9-yard line before settling for a 26-yard Tanner Fritschle fi eld goal with 2:22 left. The Bears rallied on their fi nal drive of the game before ISU ended the trheat with its third interception of the game.

SPRINGFIELD – Austin Witmer’s 33-yard fi eld goal as time expired capped Mis-souri State’s fourth-quarter comeback and gave the Bears a 27-24 league victory over South Dakota at Plaster Field. The Bears, who trailed 21-3 at halftime, scored 17 points over the fi nal fi ve-and-a-half minutes to post their fi rst win of the 2012 season in dramatic fashion. Missouri State, which entered play without having scored in the fourth quarter this season, mustered just 283 yards of total offense on the day. But 173 of the Bears’ yards came in the fi nal period, and the Bears played turnover-free football for the fi rst time in 2012. Sophomore quarterback Kierra Harris turned in a strong performance in his fi rst starting assignment of the season, fi nishing 20-of-33 for 214 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Julian Burton totaled 166 all-purpose yards, including three punt returns for 68 yards and four receptions for 98 yards. Harris led the Bears’ late charge, connecting with Burton on a 60-yard scoring strike with 5:27 to play, then fi nding Eric Christophel from 25 yards out on the equaliz-ing touchdown with just under two minutes left on the clock. The Bears’ defense also came up big late in the contest, as Andrew Beisel and Mike Crutcher teamed up to force a critical fumble that ultimately led to Christophel’s game-tying touchdown. MSU then came up with a key stop on the Coyotes’ ensuing drive, and Burton’s 30-yard punt return--a Missouri State season long--set up Wit-mer’s second fi eld goal of the day that handed the Bears their fi rst home victory since a November 20, 2010 win over North Dakota State. After yielding 265 yards of total offense in falling behind by 18 points in the opening half, the MSU defense stiffened in the second stanza, limiting the Coyotes to 110 yards after the half. Anthony Grady played a starring role in the turnaround, totaling two of his three sacks in the second half and coming up with the key recovery of the momentum-swinging USD fumble with just over three minutes to play. The Bears’ defense also received a lift from Beisel and Crutcher, who fi nished with 12 and 10 tackles, respectively, while leading tackler Caleb Schaffi tzel came up with 11 stops. The late turnaround came on the heels of a dominant fi rst-half effort from the Coy-otes in their fi rst-ever meeting with the Bears, who committed eight penalties for 75 yards in the fi rst 30 minutes. USD quarterback Josh Vander Maten accounted for 197 yards of total offense in the half, including 80 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns, to lead USD’s attack. The Coyotes dominated most offensive categories in the open-ing half, including fi rst downs (17 to 5) and time of possession (22:16 to 7:44).

NORMAL, Ill. - Missouri State rallied in the fourth quarter for the second straight week and claimed its second Missouri Valley Football Conference win, topping No. 11 Illinois State, 24-17, behind a long drive late in the game. Down 14-12 with 9:25 to go, the Bears and backup quarterback Ashton Glaser went to work. Mikael Cooper-Falls helped lead the team down the fi eld, carrying seven times on the possession to burn the clock and move the chains. But it was Glaser’s clutch passes that kept the Bears’ hopes alive. First, on a third-and-three play from their own 31, Glaser hit Matt Thayer for three yards to sustain the possession. Later, the junior signal caller connected with Thayer for 18 yards to the ISU 22. And fi nally a 15-yard completion to Tre Kelley to the Redbirds’ 11-yard line set up the winning touchdown - a two-yard run by Glaser -- two plays later. Glaser entered the game late in the fi rst half when starter Kierra Harris took a helmet to his hip. Harris would return briefl y, but Glaser completed the game-winning drive. He fi nished 5-for-5 through air for 49 yards to go with 13 ground yards. After the Bears took the 19-14 lead, the Redbirds muffed the ensuing kickoff out of bounds at their own three-yard line and set up shop there with 2:53 to play. But on the fi rst play from scrimmage, Howard Scarborough tackled Darrelynn Dunn in the end zone for the visitors’ second safety of the afternoon to make it a 21-14 game. The Bears recovered the on-sides free kick, then ran another 1:42 off the clock before calling on Austin Witmer who booted a 42-yard fi eld goal, his second of the game. Witmer’s kick made it 24-14. Later, the Redbirds got a 47-yard fi eld goal by Nick Aussieker with 10 seconds left in the game to sustain hope. The 46-yard desperation drive took just 53 seconds and seven plays. However, the ensuing kick was recovered by Matt Swan for the Bears who ran out the clock and snapped a four-game road skid. Cooper-Falls fi nished with 61 rushing yards on 19 carries, while Dorian Buford had a team-high four receptions for 100 yards, his third 100-yard receiving game of the campaign for MSU. MSU’s comeback came after a rough third quarter that belonged to Illinois State. The Redbirds outgained the Bears 104-24 in the quarter and took the lead at the 3:04 mark of the period on a pass from Matt Brown to Tyrone Walker from 15 yards out. The scoring grab capped a six-play scoring drive and gave the Redbirds their fi rst lead of the afternoon, 14-9, before MSU rallied for 15 points in the fi nal period.

Western Illinois .....................................................3Missouri State ..................................................... 42

SPRINGFIELD – Behind three fi rst-half touchdown passes by sophomore quarter-back Kierra Harris and another dominant defensive effort, the Missouri State Bears thrilled a Homecoming crowd of 10,076 at Plaster Field with a commanding 42-3 win over Western Illinois. The Bears reeled off 35 unanswered points to seal their third straight victory, MSU’s longest win streak since the 2004 season.

Harris, who recorded all 13 completions in the fi rst half for 130 yards, led Missouri State’s quick-strike offense that posted six scoring drives on the day, none of which lasted more than 2:26. He guided the Bears on three second-quarter touchdown drives to build a 28-3 halftime advantage after the MSU defense twice set up the offense with prime fi eld position. The Bears never looked back, adding a pair of second-half touchdowns to put the game out of reach, as their defense limited the WIU to just 220 yards for the game while forcing three interceptions.

Mikael Cooper-Falls also turned in a big performance for the Bears, fi nishing the day with a game and season-highs of 95 yards rushing on 12 carries and 117 all-purpose yards. The Springfi eld native piled up 73 yards in the second half--including his second touchdown of the season--to help ice the victory for Missouri State.

Sophomore safety Caleb Schaffi tzel sparked the Bears’ strong defensive perfor-mance, intercepting two passes and recording nine tackles on the day. Junior Nick Canavan played a vital role for MSU as well, totaling a game-high 13 tackles and half a sack, as the Bears held the Leathernecks to 11-of-26 passing for 70 yards and limited WIU to just 6-of-20 on third down.

MSU’s 39-point margin of victory marked the largest for the Bears since a 63-7 Homecoming win over Indiana State fi ve years ago to the day. The 42-point outburst represented not only the Bears’ top point total of 2012, but also their most-productive offensive performance since a 51-41 victory over Southern Illinois in 2010.

The Bears fi red the fi rst salvo of the day late in the opening quarter, as Harris’ 24-yard scamper ignited an 80-yard drive that ultimately put MSU on top, 7-0. His 38-yard pass to Dorian Buford gave the Bears the early lead late in the opening period.

Western Illinois answered the Bears’ fi rst score with a 15-play march deep into MSU territory, relying heavily on a ground game that accounted for 43 of the Leath-ernecks’ 55 yards on the drive. WIU ran the ball on nine straight plays and had a 2nd-and-goal from the 5-yard line before a false start penalty and an incomplete pass halted the drive. The visitors instead settled for a 27-yard Pat Smith fi eld goal. But Missouri State responded with a 21 unanswered points in the fi nal 7:40 of the half with Harris fi ring two TD passes and rushing for another score.

SPRINGFIELD – Despite holding the nation’s No. 1 team to 84 yards of total of-fense in the second half, the Bears fell short in their bid for a monumental comeback over North Dakota State, as the Bison escaped Plaster Field with a 21-17 victory. MSU held the top-ranked club in the FCS ranks to just 5 fi rst downs after intermis-sion and had several scoring chances late. The Bears could never come all the way back after a key turnover late in the third period set up NDSU’s go-ahead TD. Sam Ojuri rushed for a game-high 118 yards on 24 carries and scored what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown with 3:35 to play in the third period after a fumbled punt return gave the Bison a short fi eld at the MSU 11-yard line. In spite of the game-changing turnover, the Bears created multiple scoring op-portunities in the fi nal quarter. Austin Witmer’s 44-yard fi eld goal early in the fourth drew MSU to within 21-17 following a 12-play, 48-yard drive. The MSU defense came up with another turnover to set up the potential go-ahead drive when Mike Crutcher hauled in his second pick of the season at the NDSU 39. However, the NDSU defense came up with the fi rst of several critical stops down the stretch on a fourth-and-one at the 30. Travis Beck forced a Mikael Cooper-Falls fumble, and Grant Olson fell on the ball to put a halt to the Bears’ drive. The Bears’ defense forced punts on two-straight NDSU possessions late in the game to give the home team a chance, but the Bison forced a three-and-out with just over seven minutes to play, then came up with a game-clinching turnover on the Bears’ fi nal drive. After Harris ripped off rushes of 21 and 13 yards to give the Bears a fi rst down at their own 47, Christian Dudzik intercepted an errant pass at the 1:31 mark to extinguish the Bears’ fi nal hope for a comeback. Cooper-Falls paced the Bears’ attack for a second-straight week, fi nishing with 78 rushing yards, 69 of which came in the second half. Caleb Schaffi tzel rallied the MSU defense with his second-straight two-interception game to go along with 10 tackles, and Andrew Beisel registered a game-high 13 stops and one sack. Schaffi tzel pro-vided one of the few highlights for the Bears in the fi rst half, establishing a Missouri State and Plaster Field record with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. A pair of second-quarter touchdowns and a dominant defensive effort helped the Bison to a 14-7 halftime lead, as Brock Jensen’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Smith with 58 seconds left on the clock broke a 7-7 tie and capped a strong second period in which NDSU used a pair of long scoring drives to overcome an early defi cit. The Bears found new life in the second half, marching 62 yards to pay dirt on their fi rst possession after the break to even the score once again. MSU did most of its damage on the ground, rushing seven times for 53 yards, the last 16 of which came on Harris’s third touchdown run of the season after Cooper-Falls carried the Bears into the red zone for the fi rst time all day with a 20-yard rush.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The 2012 season fi nale started slowly before a late rally made the fi nal score respectable in a 38-13 loss at UNI. The loss ended the Bears’ season at 3-8 overall and 3-5 in the MVFC, eighth in the 10-team league. After allowing the fi rst 38 points of the game, the Bears put together a pair of im-pressive fourth-quarter drives of 92 and 87 yards. With 5:41 remaining in the game, the Bears scored fi rst on a six-yard touchdown run by Mikael Cooper-Falls. The carry capped a 13-play scoring drive that saw the Bears eat up a season-high 92 yards. A 38-yard completion from Kierra Harris to Cadarrius Dotson set up the score by Cooper-Falls who fi nished with a team-high 33 ground yards on 11 carries. Harris fi nished 29-for-39 through the air for 230 yards while tying a school record for completed passes. Dotson, a senior, had 101 yards receiving in his fi nal career ef-fort, while Dorian Buford caught 9 passes for 73 yards. Buford’s fi nal catch of the day was a seven-yard TD pass from Harris to cap an 87-yard scoring drive that took 12 plays. Buford’s catch came with just 18 seconds left in the game and gave the Bears 324 yards of total offense -- 179 on the fi nal two drives of the day. UNI signal caller Sawyer Kollmorgen was 20-for-25 for 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns as UNI produced 460 total yards and 20 fi rst downs. The Panthers wasted no time jumping on the visitors early as David Johnson took UNI’s fi rst play from scrimmage 77 yards to paydirt to put Northern Iowa ahead 7-0. MSU fell behind 10-0 less than four minutes later after its second straight three-and-out with a 36-yard fi eld goal by Tyler Sievertsen that capped a 39-yard scoring drive. Early in the second quarter, the Panthers tacked on seven more points on a trick play with 14:53 left in the half. Johnson took a second-down handoff, rolled right and then threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Brett LeMaster to make it 17-0. The Bears then responded with their fi rst substantial drive of the half. Cooper-Falls entered the game and helped get the Bears into UNI territory with a solid effort in the backfi eld. A pair of third-down completions from Harris to Dotson kept the drive alive to the 34 before a personal-foul penalty and a Harris interception killed the threat. Just before the intermission, UNI scored another touchdown to go ahead 24-0 at the break. The Panthers capped an 80-yard, 12-play drive with an eight-yard TD pass from Kollmorgen to Terrell Sinkfi eld on a laser-like strike over the middle. In the third quarter, the Bears’ fi rst legitimate threat of the day was snuffed out at the UNI 16. The Bears faked a 33-yard fi eld goal attempt by Austin Witmer when holder Ashton Glaser took the snap and rolled left. He bobbled what looked to be a pitch intended to Witmer, and the Panthers recovered at their own 19 to end the drive and keep it a 24-0 game at the time.

SPRINGFIELD – A dramatic 71-yard touchdown pass from Ashton Glaser to Julian Burton on the fi nal play of the afternoon put the wraps on Saturday’s an-nual Missouri State Spring Game at Plaster Field with Glaser leading the second-team unit to a 14-10 come-from-behind victory. Glaser fi nished 8-for-17 through the air for 207 yards, while fi rst-team starter Kierra Harris was 13-for-22 for 82 yards. Burton was one of a handful of standouts on the offensive side, securing 7 receptions for 113 yards, while Marvell Saffold notched 4 catches for 84 yards. The fi rst-team offense had much more success on the ground than their counterparts, collecting 5.5 yards per carry and 164 yards total behind the efforts of sophomore Ryan Heaston. Heaston had 10 carries for 110 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown run to lead the fi rst unit. Heaston’s scamper was the fi rst score of the day and capped a four-play scor-ing drive that consumed 69 yards. Austin Witmer tacked on the extra point to put Harris’ White squad up 7-0. That score held until the second half when Glaser connected 58 yards with Stacey Thornton to the one-yard line. The senior QB called his own number on the next play to cap the four-play scoring drive, and Marcelo Bonani added the extra point to tie the game, 7-7. Harris and Heaston would waste no time bringing the White squad back. Heaston racked up 33 ground yards on the drive, and Harris got the Bears on the door step of another touchdown before they settled for a short, 18-yard fi eld goal by Witmer to make it 10-7. It looked as if the White Team would put things out of reach midway through the fourth quarter with Brodie Lambert engineering a drive into the red zone again. But a fourth-down pitch to Vernon Scott was smothered by Tevan Fergu-son after Dylan Cole caused the fumble. Taking over at their own six-yard line, the Maroon squad got a 23-yard carry from Heaston before Glaser hit Burton in stride for the winning score. After 109 offi cial plays, Head Coach Terry Allen then blew the whistle and called the teams together with just over four minutes showing on the game clock. “The turnovers were disappointing, but we played fi ve different quarterbacks. All in all, it was a pretty good day,” said Allen. “We have some guys who can make plays offensively, and I still like the potential of our defense.” The MSU defense snagged three interceptions, including two by Jeremiah Plowden and one by Howard Scarborough. Rique Bentley led all players with 10 total tackles with Seginald Chaney, Tevan Ferguson, John Edwards and Christian Hoffmann each contributing 7 total stops.

PresidentSixth Year at Missouri State



Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th

A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005. During Moats’ tenure at MSU, he has hired fi ve head coaches, while leading the charge for facility upgrades in a number of areas, including the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Academic Achievement Center project, the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex, future renovations at Plaster Sports Complex, and the implementation of a long-range athletics facility improvement plan. In a busy fi rst year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new multi-year television contract with KY3, Inc. Year two for Moats in Springfi eld saw Missouri State fi nish second in the 2010-11 MVC All-Sports Trophy standings—its best fi nish in fi ve years. Conference titles by men’s basketball, women’s swimming and softball, as well as postseason tournament berths for both MSU basketball programs highighted the Bears’ year. In 2011-12, Moats’ third year at the helm, Missouri State enjoyed its fi nest campaign in nearly a decade, capturing the Missouri Valley Conference All-Sports Trophy for just the fourth time. The Bears won Valley titles in women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and fi eld, women’s basketball and women’s golf this year along with a co-championship in men’s soccer. Additionally, four MSU teams advanced to postseason play, including NCAA Tournament appearances for the Bears’ volleyball, women’s golf and baseball programs. This past academic year, Moats’ efforts helped make the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex a reality. The $3.7 million construction project will feature state-of-the art locker rooms, training facilities, offi ces and meeting space in JQH Arena. Additionally, all 16 MSU athletic programs met the NCAA’s APR requirements this past spring, while a record 157 student-athletes posted grade-point averages of 3.25 or better over the last year. Prior to his arrival in Springfi eld, Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville. In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups. Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years at Marquette University, where he oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM. He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02).

respectively. Zenner, notably, set an all-time rushing record for the conference as he be-came the fi rst to surpass the 2,000-yard mark in a single season. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has four recent national championships (North Dakota State – 2011 and 2012; Western Kentucky - 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), and league members Youngstown State (3) and Southern Illinois (1) own additional titles prior to their league membership, meaning eight FCS championship trophies are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up fi nishes. Only fi ve FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS champion-ship trophy, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference is among that elite. In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. Counting last year, an MVFC member has reached the FCS semifi nals 13 times in the past 17 seasons (and 16 times overall). The league has four national championships in that span. The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past. During the decade of the 1990’s, the league compiled a 34-19 mark in the FCS playoffs, bettered only by the Southern Conference,

whose members were 37-19 in that decade. Team accomplishments have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Football Conference as an FCS elite, but individuals at the league’s member institutions are the real source of pride within the conference. Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Val-ley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best. Last year, MVFC teams combined for an FCS-best 17-4 non-conference record against FCS teams, and the league also had three wins against FBS teams (more than any other FCS conference). Despite tough schedul-ing, six teams in the conference had winning records. The Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 19 times now, including the past 15 seasons. In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed the crowned jewel for the conference, as the league had one of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s fi rst national championship, the Penguins fi nished the year ranked No. 1, marking the fi rst time a league member has held that spot in a season-ending poll. That year, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking the fi rst time the league ended the year with two teams ranked among the top six. In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Conference trumped that, as YSU fi nished the year No. 2, and Illinois State was No. 3. UNI also fi nished in the top 20 in both nationally recognized polls. In 2002, Western Kentucky added to the league’s national championship trophy case with an FCS crown, while both WKU (No. 1) and Western Illinois (No. 5) fi nished among the nation’s top fi ve in the season-ending polls. WKU became the fi rst school to earn victories against the tourney’s top three seeds en route to its national championship. In 2003, four Valley teams represented the league in the 16-team NCAA playoffs, marking the fi rst time any league has sent that many to the playoffs in the same year. In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a league-record 11 weeks as the nation’s top-ranked team, while all eight league teams received votes for the Top 25 at some point in the season. LB Boomer Grigsby of Illinois State earned a National Defensive Player of the Year honor, while SIU’s Jerry Kill was National Coach of the Year. In 2005, UNI became the fourth league school to reach the FCS championship game since 1997, while Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky combined to hold the na-tion’s No. 1 ranking in the top-25 polls for fi ve weeks. In 2006, Youngstown State won its second-straight league championship and the Pen-guins were joined in the playoff fi eld by Illinois

The Missouri Valley Football Conference is the nation’s premier NCAA Football Champi-onship Subdivision (FCS) conference. There’s not much that has eluded the Mis-souri Valley Football Conference in its fi rst 28 seasons of competition. The league’s fi rst two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national coaches of the year, No. 1 na-tional rankings, and countless All-Americans. League member North Dakota State is a two-time defending national champion, and the league also has NCAA titles in 1997 and 2002. In 2012, the MVFC, for the second-straight year, was the top-rated conference in the Gridiron Power Index, and NDSU held the top overall position in the GPI for a second-straight year as well. Strong coaching and great players have helped make the league a national force, but the stability and leadership of Commissioner Patty Viverito -- the only commissioner the league has ever known -- has helped make the Missouri Valley Football Conference a standard bearer on the FCS scene. Indeed, all signs point to continued national promi-nence for the Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence as it enters its 29th season in 2013. In June 2008, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-member Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented the second name change for the football league. Initially, the conference competed as the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference (1985-91) and the Gateway Football Confer-ence (1992-2007). Although the league shares the Missouri Valley name, the football-playing members compete under a separate administrative umbrella, as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference remain separate entities. Last year, three league teams (Illinois State, North Dakota State and South Dakota State) represented the conference in the FCS playoffs, marking the 18th-straight season in which at least two or more teams have par-ticipated in post-season play. All three teams won at least one game, and NDSU rolled to its second-straight national crown, beating Sam Houston State in the national championship game, 39-13. In 2012, the league wasn’t short of individual national accomplishments as RB Zach Zenner of South Dakota State (7th), DE Colton Underwood of Illinois State (6th), QB Sawyer Kollmorgen (2nd) and coach Craig Bohl of North Dakota State (winner) were all fi nalists in the Walter Payton, Buck Buchanan, Jerry Rice and Eddie Robinson Award voting,

Illinois). Four league schools compete in the Summit League (North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois), while Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League for its other sports. In its decade of operation, the Gateway Conference sponsored championships in ten women’s sports and football. The women’s sports were basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track & fi eld, swimming and diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and, early on, fi eld hockey. As the league approaches its 30th anniver-sary in 2015, Valley football continues to be a national leader at the FCS level.

State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16-team playoff fi eld. SIU’s Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was third in the Walter Payton Award balloting. In 2008, six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the fi rst time in league history that had happened. Those six teams were ranked for four-straight weeks. North Dakota State held the nation’s No. 1 spot for its fi rst two weeks as a conference member, while rookie coach Dale Lennon of Southern Illinois became just the third to win Coach of the Year honors in his fi rst league season. In 2011, North Dakota State won the national crown and fi nished the season atop the Top-25 rankings. UNI was No. 5 in the fi nal FCS Coaches poll, and Illinois State was ranked No. 20 in The Sports Network poll. For ISU, it marked the fi rst top-25 ranking in a season-ending poll since 2006. Six different league schools cracked into the Top 25 at some point during the season (as did newest member South Dakota). In 2012, North Dakota State re-peated as national champions, setting the stage for a possible three-peat (only Appalachian State has previ-ously accomplished this feat at the FCS level). The original Gateway Conference was founded as a women’s athletic organization in August 1982, following the dissolution of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. In September of that year, Patty Viverito was named the fi rst commissioner of the newly founded conference, a position she maintains today. Before moving to its permanent headquarters in St. Louis, the conference spent three organizational months on the campus of Eastern Illinois University. In July of 1992, the 10-team conference disbanded as its women’s programs realigned with their men’s teams in their respective conferences. The league assumed its new name on July 1, 1992, becoming the Gateway Football Conference, an NCAA FCS football league comprised of seven Midwest institu-tions. The Gateway Conference football divi-sion was born on August 21, 1985, when the Gateway Conference President’s Council voted to add a FCS football division for six of its members to the previously all-women’s athletics organization. Founding members of the football division were Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, UNI, Southern Illinois, South-

west Missouri State (now Missouri State), and Western Illinois. The creation of the football division marked the fi rst time in college annals that football was added to a women’s confer-ence. In June of 1986, Indiana State became the seventh member of the conference. In the 28 years of the football division, league membership has been stable -- with only six fl uctuations since 1986. Eastern Illinois left the league to join the Ohio Valley Conference in 1996, while Youngstown State joined the conference in 1997 to return league membership to its original seven-member status. League membership reached what was then an all-time high of eight members for the start of the 2001 season with the ad-dition of Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers left the league after six years to join the Sun Belt (FBS). North Dakota State and South Dakota State joined for the start of the 2008 season, giving the league nine members for

the fi rst time. And the league expanded to 10 members in 2012 after the

University of South Dakota was admitted.

The Missouri Val-ley Football Con-ference is the only automatic FCS qualifying conference that sponsors football as its only sport, as the league completed its service to women’s

athletics follow-ing the 1991-92

season. Although the league no longer sponsors women’s

sports, the league has an historical place in the development of intercollegiate women’s athletics. The 10 founders of the original Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference currently belong to three conferences. Eight members joined their men’s programs in the Missouri Valley: Bradley, Drake, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is now in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Western Illinois competes in the Summit. Members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (and initial year of member-ship) include Illinois State University (1985), Indiana State University (1986), Missouri State University (1985), North Dakota State University (2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985), the University of South Dakota (2012), South Dakota State University (2008), Southern Illinois University (1985), Western Illinois University (1985), and Youngstown State University (1997). Five Missouri Valley Football Conference members also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference (Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and Southern

Missouri State posted another 5-0 MIAA champion-ship season in 1966 under coach Jim Mentis to earn a repeat invitation to the Mineral Water Bowl. The Bears took a 7-3 record against Adams (Colo.) State. Adams State got a scoring pass from QB Jim Attaway to HB Don Alley just before halftime and added another TD on a 19-yard run by FB Hugh Wright with seven minutes left in the last quarter. A pass from QB Tom Young to end Bill Douglass set up a one-yard plunge by FB Mike Howell for the Bears’ only score late in the game as Missouri State lost, 14-8.Missouri State 0 0 0 8 8Adams State 0 7 0 7 14

NCAA FCS First RoundNovember 25, 1989, Springfi eld, Mo.

The Missouri State Bears hosted their fi rst NCAA FCS football playoff game ever and earned the fi rst postseason grid win in MSU history as K Chris Pot-thast hit a 33-yard fi eld goal with eight seconds left in the game to beat Maine, 38-35 before a packed home crowd on an overcast but warm afternoon on the Bears' home fi eld. QB DeAndre Smith brought the Bears back from an early 17-7 defi cit with three TD runs, and QB Paul Carney ran for the Bears’ fi nal two scores after Smith went out with an injury. Both MSU passers fi red with pin-point accuracy, hitting 11-of-14 aerials for the contest. Carl Smith, the nation’s top rusher, led Maine as he ran for a pair of touchdowns, but the Bears held on to tie the all-time school mark for wins in a season with 10 and advance to the NCAA playoff quarterfi nals.Maine 3 17 8 7 35Missouri State 0 14 14 10 38

NCAA FCS Quarterfi nalsDecember 2, 1989, Nacogdoches, Texas

The pass-happy Stephen F. Austin State Lumber-jacks scored early and often on their home fi eld behind QB Todd Hammel to oust Missouri State from the Bears' fi rst appearance in the NCAA FCS playoffs, 55-25. Southland Conference champion SFA was on top 13-0 after just 3:29 of the game and MSU closed to within 26-18 late in third period, but SFA got rolling again to pull away and win the game handily. Missouri State QB DeAndre Smith amassed 307 yards in total offense and helped MSU to a new passing yardage record just six days after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, but SFA’s 613 total yards matched the most ever given up by a Missouri State team in a game. The Bears wound up the campaign with a fi nal 10-3 season record.Missouri State 3 7 8 7 25Stephen F. Austin 16 7 11 21 55

NCAA FCS First RoundNovember 24, 1990, Springfi eld, Mo.

The Missouri State Bears couldn’t handle the one-two offensive punch of the nation’s top FCS rusher, TB Devon Pearce, and the leading receiver in the nation, WR Kasey Dunn, in dropping a 41-35 shootout to the Idaho Vandals in the NCAA playoffs fi rst round. Big Sky Conference champ Idaho jumped out to a quick 14-3 lead but RB Rodney McConico scored a pair of touchdowns and helped draw closer in the game before a fi eld goal by Richard Grote made it 35-35 on the fi rst play of the fourth quarter. The Vandals added two more fi eld goals in the closing minutes and fi nally stopped Missouri State on downs on the Idaho 45 with half a minute remaining in the game to prevail.Idaho 14 7 14 6 41Missouri State 10 7 15 3 35

Retired Jerseys On Sept. 3, 2011, Missouri State honored four fomer greats in its fi rst-ever jersey retirement ceremony at Plaster Field. Those recognized were: 1 - DeAndre Smith ...................................... QB, 1987-90 27 - Ray Hailey ............................................. RB, 1947-51 71 - Rich Johanningmer ............................... OT/DT, 1960-63 Coach - Arthur Briggs .................................. Head Coach 1912-33

Statistical Notes Springfi eld’s Evangel University used Plaster Field for most home games from 1988 to 2000 and is the only other collegiate tenant of the Bears’ facility included in stadium records. The NCAA didn’t require kickoff and punt return stats until 1970, making return records incomplete on many former players, notably Bears TB Cornelius Perry (1963-65) who returned fi ve kickoffs for TDs and had several other long runbacks in three seasons at Missouri State. Defensive statistics on tackles were fi rst maintained in 1972. Complete Missouri State season stats are only available from 1956 to the present, and complete single game stats are available only from 1972 to the present. Prior to 2002, postseason stats were listed as playoff/bowl game records, but were not included in regular season NCAA stats. From an MSU standpoint, this affects the NCAA season and career stats of people who played in the Bears’ three NCAA FCS playoff games in 1989 and 1990, notably DeAndre Smith, Chris Potthast, Richard Grote, Rodney McConico, Phillip Collins, Anthony Pegues, Chuck Calhoun and Brett VonWiller. Their career stats in all categories listed include stats compiled in FCS playoff games in MSU records, but in NCAA and Valley records, stats compiled in NCAA playoffs are deleted. That method of charting records was changed with 2002 and all individual and team stats compiled in FCS playoff games are now incorporated into regular season stat categories, for purposes of noting Valley and FCS game, season and career record performances.

The Missouri State Bears play in one of the top FCS facilities in the country, a stadium which is 72 years old in 2013, but which has undergone numer-ous renovations and improvements to make it both impressive in stature and functional in its use. Recent additions have included a brand new Musco lighting system, which was installed in August 2010, and the Bancorp South video score-board, which was added over the summer of 2008. The multi-million dollar scoreboard system fea-tures a high-quality video system, enhanced graph-ics package and live scoring and timing capabilities. The Football ProStar LED Video Display has a 4.4 trillion color-capable display; 23mm pixel spacing and 153,600 total red/green/blue LED’s. The top of the scoreboard is more than three stories from the surface and extends 40 feet in width. The stadium also got a facelift in the summer of 2006 with the installation of a new FieldTurf artifi cial playing surface on the football fi eld. The 400-meter running track was resurfaced most recently in 2000. A four-phase expansion of the facility between 1987 and 1991 was further enhanced in August of 1991, when it received a seven-fi gure gift from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, with the expanded facility now known as the Robert W. Plaster Sports Complex. The late Mr. Plaster was chairman of the board of Evergreen Investments LLC, of Lebanon, Mo. The Plaster Foundation has made numerous gifts to support higher education, including major gifts to Crowder College, College of the Ozarks and Southwest Baptist University. When the Bears inaugurated the new facility Sept. 14, 1991, it completed a four-stage renovation

in which the stadium received its fi rst artifi cial turf in 1987, a new running track in 1988, and additional seating in 1990. The home of Missouri State football for more than a half century, Plaster Field enjoys a picturesque, landscaped location at the heart of the campus. The 50th birthday revitalization of the stadium in 1991 made it a focal point of campus activity at Missouri State well into the future. The summer of 1991 saw a major construction project rise 120 feet above Kings Avenue behind the existing stadium. When the addition was fi n-ished, it nearly doubled the seating capacity, giving MSU 16,300 seats in a modern, functional home to many activities in addition to providing an impres-sive home for Missouri State Bears football. The completion of the renovation coincided with the 50th anniversary of the fi rst use of the original stadium at the corner of Kings and Grand for Bears football. MSU defeated Southeastern Oklahoma 46-0 Sept. 19, 1941, in the fi rst game in the facility. For football, Plaster now has nearly 8,500 seats in the upper deck, 24 skyboxes of 10 seats each and a 40-seat University box located at what was the back of the original stadium, and a press box at the top of the deck. The ground level includes 12 racquetball and handball courts as well as recreational locker rooms and offi ces. On the second level, behind the skyboxes, one end of the facility includes large locker room space for MSU programs. The other end contains the Plaster Strength Center, a 7,200-square foot intercollegiate athletics weight room. An elevator at the west entrance connects all three levels with the stadium press box level.

The fi nal renovation followed three preliminary additions. The fi rst artifi cial surface was added in 1987, and was replaced in 2000 and 2006. The turf was followed in 1988 by an eight-lane, 400-meter all-weather running track, paid for from student fee money at a cost of $272,000. The east bleachers were moved back and the north and south walls of the stadium were relocated to accommodate the enlarged track. The north end was reworked, and the resulting area can accommodate championship football, track and fi eld, soccer, fi eld hockey and marching band events. In 1990, an additional 2,000 seats were installed on the east side of the stadium, along with addi-tional concession stands, restrooms, ticket booths, a new student entrance. Plaster Sports Complex received many enhance-ments in the 1970s and 1980s, including additions and improvements to seating, a press box, and concession and restroom facilities. A lighting system and scoreboard and electronic message center were also added during this era. Built originally for $60,000 as a WPA project, the Plaster Sports Complex is home to Missouri State’s football, fi eld hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, and track and fi eld teams. Missouri State also hosts numerous interscholastic and club track, marching band, handball, racquetball, soccer, foot-ball, and fi eld hockey events as well as MSU and Greenwood Lab School classes and practices for a variety of sports teams. The facility was known as SMS Stadium from the time it opened in 1941 until 1970, and was named Briggs Stadium from 1970 until it was renamed Plaster Field in 1991.

Arthur Briggs The Missouri State football facility was known as Briggs Stadium from 1970 until 1991 in honor of MSU athletics pioneer Arthur W. Briggs. When the Missouri State Board of Governors renamed the stadium Plaster Field in 1991, the Board voted to perpetuate the memory of Briggs by changing the name of Belmont Street, just west of the stadium, to Briggs Street; by installing a bust of Briggs at the stadium entrance; by establishing an endowed scholarship fund in his name; and by establishing the Arthur Briggs Award, to be given annually to the top scholar-athlete on the Bears’ football team. The fi rst Missouri State athletics director, Briggs held that post from 1912 to 1938 and was physical education department head until he died in 1949. Briggs is the winningest coach in MSU football history, posting a 76-58-11 mark as fi eld boss of the grid Bears from 1912 to 1933. Briggs guided the Bears to unbeaten state title years in 1914 at 6-0 and in 1922 at 7-0. At various times, he coached every sport MSU had, including posting a 105-32 basketball record from 1913 to 1923 in the years when the Bears domi-nated the "old MIAA" of all the state's four-year small colleges. Mr. Briggs went into the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1978 and was one of the charter inductees into the MSU Wall of Fame in 2002.

Plaster Field has been the home of Missouri State football since 1941. The 2013 campaign is the Bears’ 72nd season in Plaster as MSU didn’t fi eld a football team for two seasons during World War II. MSU football moved to its present site in 1930, 10 years before the current stadium was constructed right before World War II. Prior to that time, the Bears practiced and played their games in an area on the northwest corner of the existing campus where Freudenberg-er House now stands, MSU has a 202-152-12 record for 366 games in Plaster, and the Bears have been perfect at home in six seasons in Plaster, including 1989, 1992 and 2010. The longest MSU home win streak was 20 games, compiled between 1938 and 1941.

Missouri State’s history of producing pro football talent dates back to 1945 and extends to today with two NFL Draft selections in recent years -- Clay Harbor to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 and David Arkin to the Cowboys in 2011. Five additional Bears hvae earned undrafted free agent contracts over the last three years with Randy Richards going to the Chargers this year after Jermaine Saffold (Browns) and Chris Douglas (Bills) made pro camps in 2011, and Kolby Hurt (Saints) and Jake Duron (Jets) inked free agent deals in 2010. Brad St. Louis played 10 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000-09. He starred for MSU at tight end from 1996-99 and played in both the East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl after his senior season prior to being drafted by the Bengals. He operated as the Bengals’ regular long snapper seven seasons with additional work at tight end. Former Bear Jason Whittle played 11 NFL seasons from 1998-2008. He signed a free agent contract in the 2003 off-season with then-Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay after fi ve years with the New York Giants. He returned to the Giants in 2004 and moved to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2006 campaign before joining the Bills in 2007. A standout lineman at MSU from 1994-97, Whittle signed a free agent contract with the Giants in 1998. He became the fi rst MSU Bear to appear in the NFL title game when he saw action in the 2001 Super Bowl with the Giants. The MSU alumnus with the longest and most successful professional tenure was defensive back Adrion Smith of the

Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. He completed 12 seasons in the CFL in 2005, spending his last 10 seasons in Toronto. He led the Argonauts with eight interceptions in 2005, moving his career total to a team record 51. He helped the Argonauts to CFL Grey Cup Championships in 1997 and 2004. A native of Kansas City who was a four-year starter from 1990 to 1993, Smith is the Bears’ and MVFC all-time leader in interceptions with 24. A four-time CFL all-star, he has since joined Toronto’s front offi ce community relations staff and is one of the team’s radio announcers. Cornerback Darren Barnett, an all-conference performer as a junior at Missouri State in 2004 was among the Valley and NCAA leaders in interceptions, rejoined the New York Giants for a second year in 2008 after working on the Giants’ developmental squad during 2007. Steve Watson had an All-Arena Football League season in 2008 and appeared in Arena Bowl XXII for the San Jose SaberCats. The two-time all-MVFC standout (2003-04) posted 238 tackles in 31 games at MSU. He also played for the Columbus Destroyers and Tulsa Talons.
