ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS

2009 Game 10

Today’s Game: The Missouri State Bears will play their final home game of the 2009 campaign this week when they entertain the Indiana State Sycamores at Plaster Field for a 1 p.m. kickoff on Senior Day. Missouri State will pay tribute to its 2009 senior class that includes Cedric Alvis (CB, Columbia, Mo.), Mike Daniels (DT, Leesburg, Ga.), Jared Emery (WR, Mountain Grove, Mo.), Clay Harbor (TE, Dwight, Ill.), Tyler Horner (QB, Dayton, Ohio), Matt Hottelman (K, O’Fallon, Mo.), John Mayberry (OT, Oceanside, Calif.), Connor McDonough (DE, Belton, Mo.), Miguel Warren (TB, Raytown, Mo.), and Andy Watts (OG, Springfield, Mo.) in pregame ceremonies involving the players’ parents.

MSU is coming off a 24-14 homecoming loss to Illinois State last week in a hard-fought defensive contest that snapped a two-game winning streak for the Bears. The Redbirds scored on the final play of the first half and tacked on a fourth-quarter field goal to overcome a 14-14 tie and spoil the Bears’ first home contest in three weeks.

The Bears had sensational individual efforts from a pair of upper classmen in the game. Antoine Wilkinson (Jr., LB, Magnolia, Miss.) recorded a game-high and career-high 20 tackles in the game, including 10 solo tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass break-up. Clay Harbor (Sr., TE, Dwight, Ill.) posted his third 100-yard receiving game of the season -- and second in three weeks -- by reeling in eight receptions for 102 yards in the contest. Harbor also became Missouri State’s career receptions leader by collecting his 138th pass in the contest and moving within 206 yards of the school record for career receiving yards.

Indiana State is coming off a 33-0 home loss to No. 3 Southern Illinois last week. The Salukis held ISU to just six first downs and 90 total yards in the contest. SIU rolled up 161 rushing yards on 44 carries (3.7) and scored three touchdowns on the ground. The Salukis also scored on a blocked punt return, a field goal and a safety.

This season, the Bears are 5-4 overall, 2-3 at Plaster Field, and 3-3 in MVFC play (0-3 at home). Overall, Missouri State is 437-438-39 (.499) in 98 seasons all-time, including a 194-145-12 (.569) record in 68 seasons at Plaster Field, 67-89-1 (.430) mark in MVFC play, and 150-152-3 (.497) record at the NCAA Division I FCS level.

The Series: Missouri State has won the last two meetings between the two clubs, and has been victorious in five of the last six games against ISU. All-time, the Bears are 15-8 overall and 9-2 at home against the Sycamores, including three straight wins. Indiana State’s two previous wins in Springfield were in 1995 (16-9) and 2001 (25-19).

Last year in Terre Haute, the two teams battled for 60 minutes before the Bears were able to prevail in overtime, 27-24 in an unlikely come-from-behind win. On the last play of regulation, Cody Kirby found senior Chris Geisz in the endzone for a 19-yard touchdown reception to tie the game, 21-21. The play was set up by a facemasking penalty on the Sycamores that moved the ball from the ISU 34 to the 19 to give the Bears a shot at the end zone. In overtime, ISU gained just two yards and took a 24-21 lead on a 39-yard field goal, but Kirby rallied the Bears again with runs of six and 19 yards for the game-winning touchdown two plays later.

The Coach: Missouri State head coach Terry Allen (Northern Iowa, 1979) is 112-84 (.571) overall in his 17th season as a head coach. Allen is 17-25 (.405) in his fourth season at Missouri State. He is also 89-48 (.650) in Missouri Valley Football Conference games, including his tenure at Northern Iowa (1989-96). Allen is 9-2 all-time against ISU. With the Bears, Allen is 10-12 at home, 7-13 away, 9-18 in conference play (4-10 at home), 8-7 in non-conference games (6-2 at home), 1-0 in overtime, 0-1 in shutouts, and 9-9 in games decided by 10 points or less.

First and Ten: Ten Missouri state quick hits relating to today’s game:  Clay Harbor broke the MSU all-time receiving record last week against Illinois State with his 138th career reception. He is now 206 receiving yards shy of Steve Newbold’s (1977-80) all-time receiving yards record of 1,990. He is the second MSU player to record three seasons with 40 catches or more (Jason Cannon, 1995-96-97) and will tie Cannon for the MSU record for consecutive games with a pass reception (33) if he catches at least one pass in the team’s final two games. He is also one 100-yard receiving game shy of tying the MSU season (4) and career (6) marks.  Cody Kirby needs one touchdown to suprass Mitch Ware (1976-79) and Jeremy Hoog (1994-97) for the Missouri State career TD passing record. Kirby tied Ware and Hoog with his 36th career touchdown pass against Illinois State.

He is also 218 yards shy of becoming the second MSU passer (Jeremy Hoog, 1996-97) to have two 2,000-yard seasons.  Kirby has thrown a touchdown pass in seven straight games.  Over the last eight games, Missouri State has not allowed an opponent to score on its opening drive of the second half. During that span, opponents have punted five times, committed two turnovers and missed one field goal.  The Bears are looking to secure a four-win conference season for the first time since 1993. Since joining the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 1985, MSU has had just five seasons with four or more league wins.  MSU is one win shy of tying its decade high for wins (6). Missouri State has finished 6-5 three times this decade -- 2001, 2004 and 2007. During the Division I era (1982-present), the Bears have won six or more games 12 times.  Antoine Wilkinson is 8 tackles shy of 100 stops this season. He would become the first MSU defender to hit the century mark in total tackles since Darryl Johnson in 2004. This season, Wilkinson has recorded double-figure tackles five times and has nine or more stops in seven of the team’s nine games.  Over its previous three games, MSU had manufactured 13 drives of 60 yards or more, but was able to sustain just one 60-yard drive last week against Illinois State, a 79-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown. During the last four games, MSU has had 13 drives that have consumed at least 10 plays.  MSU is looking for its first home MVFC victory this season. The last time the Bears were winless at home in the league was 1995 (0-3) under first-year coach Del Miller. Ironically, the Bears are 3-0 in MVFC road games in 2009.  Terry Allen is one win away from securing his second winning season as Bears’ head coach. He would also become just the fifth MSU coach to win six games in his fourth season, joining Jesse Branch (10 wins in 1989), Howard Blair (8 wins in 1941), Rich Johanningmeier (7 wins in 1979), and Orville Pottenger (6 wins in 1964).

Last Game: After tying the game twice in the first half, the Bears were held scoreless in the third and fourth quarters in a 24-14 homecoming loss to Illinois State. The loss was the third in a row at home for the Bears.

The game got off to a rocky start as the Bears were held to just eight yards on their opening sequence. The ensuing punt was missed by Jordan Chiles, and ISU recovered at the Missouri State 16-yard line. Four plays later, Geno Blow scored from the one-yard line to put the Redbirds up 7-0.

MSU rallied with a 47-yard touchdown strike from Cody Kirby (Jr., QB, Rogers, Ark.) to Jermaine Saffold (So., WR, Grandview, Mo.) with 5:03 to play in the opening quarter to tie the game, 7-7.

After falling behind 14-7 early in the second quarter, MSU posted a 79-yard touchdown drive that consumed 10 plays and was capped by a sensational 28-yard catch-and-run score by Cadarrius Dotson (Fr., WR, Memphis, Tenn.) to tie the game, 14-14, with 10:03 to play in the half.

However, on the final play of the second quarter, Illinois State’s desperation pass into the end zone bounced around before Brandon Venson pulled it down for the Redbirds to give ISU a 21-14 lead at the intermission.

The second half stalemate produced only a 42-yard field goal by the Redbirds, and despite 248 passing yards from Kirby and 102 receiving yards by Clay Harbor (Sr., TE, Dwight, Ill.), ending the Bears’ two-game winning streak.

He was MSU Player of the Week on 10/3/09 for his 101-yard effort in the Bears’ 17-7 win at Youngstown State and on 10/17/09 for his career-high 171-yard game in the win at Western Illinois. His effort in the WIU game also earned him Offensive Player of the Week by the MVFC. After collecting 40 receptions for 457 yards in 2008, Harbor earned Associated Press FCS All-America second-team honors. Harbor is a two-time, first-team All-MVFC pick as well as twice being recognized on the AP All-America list, including a third-team honor in 2007.

MVFC All-Select NFL Team: Former Missouri State football Bears Brad St. Louis and Jason Whittle have been named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference “All-Select NFL Team,” the league announced Monday (July 20) in St. Louis.

Whittle, most recently an offensive lineman with the Buffalo Bills, finished his 11th season in the NFL in 2008. He signed a free agent contract in the 2003 off-season with the New York Giants. He later moved to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2006 campaign before joining the Bills in 2007. An offensive and defensive line standout at Missouri State from 1994-97, Whittle signed with the Giants in 1998 and was a regular lineman and deep snapper for the team. His play in the 2001 Super Bowl was the first time an MSU product had played in the NFL title game.

St. Louis was released from the Cincinnati Bengals on 10/12/09 during his 10th year with the club. He was the longest-tenured player on the Bengals’ roster at the time. He starred for MSU at tight end from 1996-99 and played in both the East-West Shrine Game and the Hula Bowl after his senior MSU season prior to signing with Cincinnati. He has operated as the Bengals’ regular deep snapper each of the past six seasons with additional work at tight end.

The team includes 35 players from current and former MVFC schools. The team includes four NFL MVPs, 15 Pro-Bowl selections and other 23 Super Bowl appearances by 12 players. Sixteen former league players are active in the NFL.

National Leaders: Bears ranking among the nation’s top 50 players in this week’s NCAA Division I FCS statistics are: Antoine Wilkinson (Jr., LB, Magnolia, Miss.) has jumped 22 spots to 20th in tackles (10.22), Jordan Chiles (So., P, Hillsboro, Ill.) is 40th in punting (39.08), Clay Harbor (Sr., TE, Dwight, Ill.) is 41st in receptions per game (5.22) and 52nd in receiving yards per game (67.44). MSU is also among the top 50 teams nationally in scoring defense (49th/21.67) and on the fringe of the national top 50 in passing offense (51st/199.11) and passing efficiency (51st/126.10).

Postseason History: The Bears have appeared in three postseason games during their NCAA Division I era (1982-present).

In 1989, the Bears were ranked No. 9 in the FCS poll when they hosted Maine at Plaster Field on 11/25/89.

A 33-yard field goal by Chris Potthast with eight seconds left sent MSU to the national quarterfinals at Stephen F. Austin with a 38-35 win.

The Bears gave up 613 yards in total offense at SFA and fell 55-25, despite trailing just 23-10 at the half.

MSU finished the year 10-3.

In 1990, MSU hosted No. 13 Idaho at Plaster Field in the first round of the playoffs. After a field goal by Richard Grote on the first play of the fourth quarter tied the game, 35-35, the Bears gave up field goals of 29 and 50 yards later in the quarter, and the potential game-winning drive stalled at the Idaho 45 with 30 seconds remaining in a 41-35 defeat.

Prior to their Division I days, the Bears appeared in three bowl games, falling 34-20 to Emporia State in the 1948 Mo-Kan Bowl, dropping a 21-14 decision to Northern Illinois in the 1963 Mineral Water Bowl, and coming up short, 14-8, to Adams State in the 1966 Mineral Water Bowl.

Including its three bowl games, MSU is 1-5 all-time in postseason.

Last Time it Happened

2009 NCAA Football Rules Changes 1. Player Safety.

Flagrant Personal Fouls (Rule 9-6). For 2009-10 the rules committee has added a new section that calls for conferences in the days following a game to review certain particularly dangerous plays. This new rule says that if a player is ejected for any flagrant personal foul the conference must review the game video for possible further action. In addition, if the officials call fouls for targeting defenseless players or using the crown of the helmet and the player is not ejected, the rules mandate a conference review. Furthermore, if the review by the conference reveals actions that should have resulted in a personal foul but were not called, the conference may impose sanctions.

Chin Strap Included in Face-Mask Fouls (Rule 9-1-2-q) The helmet chin strap is included in the face-mask foul. It is a personal foul if a player twists, turns or pulls the face mask, any helmet opening, or now the chin strap of an opponent.

2. Sportsmanship.

The committee made no changes in the sportsmanship rules. Furthermore, the committee was unanimous in its endorsement of the way the sportsmanship rules are currently written and officiated. To underscore its concerns, the committee added a Statement on Sportsmanship to the introductory section of the rule book. This statement emphasizes the importance of discipline by players and coaches, and reminds coaches of their responsibility for controlling the behavior of their players.

3. Competitive Balance.

Rugby-Style Kicker (Rule 9-1-4-a-5) The recent trend toward punters using a rugbystyle kick has created a competitive disadvantage favoring the punting team. Because the player runs for several yards before kicking the ball, his teammates have more time to move downfield for coverage. Furthermore, there has been officiating inconsistency regarding whether such a rugby-style kicker has the same protection afforded a “normal” punter. Under the new rules, if a potential kicker carries the ball outside the tackle box (defined as extending five yards on each side of the snapper) before kicking the ball, there will be no foul for running-into or roughing if he is blocked or tackled by an opponent. The kicker remains protected, as always, from unnecessary roughness fouls.

4. Other Changes.

Jersey Colors (Rule 1-4-3-a) The rules for many years have required white jerseys to be worn by one team, which must be the visiting team unless the opponent agrees otherwise prior to the start of the season. The new rule creates a process whereby both teams may wear colored jerseys if the visitors have received written permission from the home team, and if the home team’s conference agrees that the jerseys are of contrasting colors. If the visitors wear colored jerseys without having such agreements, they will receive a 15-yard penalty following the opening kickoff of each half.

Extension of Periods (Rule 3-2-3) If a foul takes place on a play during which time expires in a quarter, the period is normally extended if the penalty is accepted. Starting in 2009, the period is not extended if the penalty includes loss of down.

Offensive Scrimmage Formation (Rules 1-1-1-b-2 and 7-1-3-b) The requirement for having at least seven offensive players on the line of scrimmage has been re-stated to allow no more than four players in the backfield. This is not a rule change but merely a different way of writing the same requirement. It does eliminate the foul for a team having ten players when there are only six on the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, the requirements for scrimmage formations remain the same.

Plaster Sports Complex: Home of the Missouri State Bears since 1941, the 2009 campaign marks football Bears’ 68th season in the facility (the school did not field teams two years during World War II (1943-44).

MSU has a 194-145-12 (.570) record for 351 games in Plaster, including five undefeated and untied home seasons -- 1948, 1963, 1974, 1989 and 1992.

The Bears were 5-1 at home in 2007, 1-4 at home in 2008, 2-3 at home in 2009, and are 10-12 overall at Plaster under Terry Allen. The team is currently riding a three-game home losing streak.

Originally named SMS Stadium (1941-70), the facility was renamed Briggs Stadium (1970-1991) in honor of former head coach and long-time athletics director Arthur Briggs. A four-phase expansion project that began in 1987 saw the addition of artificial turf (1987), an all-weather track (1988), additional student seating (1990), and second grandstand level and press box (1991) added. The facility was renamed Robert W. Plaster Sports Complex in 1991 at the conclusion of the expansion initiative.

The Bancorp South video scoreboard was added over the summer of 2008. The multi-million dollar system features a high-quality video system, enhanced graphics 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.

One of the top FCS facilities in the nation, Plaster Field seats 16,300 spectators and features 24 skyboxes and a 40seat University box. The complex includes 12 racquetball courts and locker rooms, as well as the Plaster Strength Center -- a 7,200-square foot weight room which is Rushing one of the largest in the Missouri Valley Rushing Attempts 44, Mike Harris, Truman vs. Missouri State, 11/11/78 Football Conference.

Missouri State Bears.........................................10 Arkansas Razorbacks ...................................... 48

The Bears gave up a 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the opening play of the game and didn’t settle in until Arkansas was up 14-0 early in the first quarter, eventually falling to the Razorbacks, 48-10, at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. The announced crowd of 55,572 was the second-largest in Missouri State history.

Bears’ QB Cody Kirby threw an interception on the team’s opening sequence after the Bears advanced past midfield and seemed to be moving the ball well against the Southeastern Conference foe. After Arkansas converted the turnover into seven points to make it 14-0, Kirby marched the Bears to the Arkansas 36 before the team settled for a career-long 53-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman to make it 14-3.

Arkansas took just 99 seconds to drive 74 yards on its next possession to go up 21-3, and then capped an 83-yard drive in 16 plays, consuming just under eight minutes to make it 28-3.

The Bears then put together their biggest drive of the evening, marching 53 yards on 10 plays for their only touchdown. After Clay Harbor was blatantly held in the endzone on a fourth-and-five play, the Bears were given new life after the pass interference flag gave MSU a first-and-goal at the two. From there, Jonathan Davis carried it in to the end zone for the first MSU touchdown of the season and making the score 28-10.

Newcomers Chris Douglas and Mikael Cooper-Falls accounted for 38 and 34 rushing yards, respectively to lead the Bears, while Kirby passed for 107 yards on 12-of-20 with two interceptions. Harbor led six Bears’ receivers with catches on the night, collecting four passes for 61 yards and extending his consecutive games with a reception streak to 23.

Defensively, the Bears were led by newcomer Antoine Wilkinson who brought down 11 Razorbacks, including eight solos, while Derek Miller had nine tackles and seven solos.

Arkansas’ 447 passing yards was a new school record.

MSU won the field position battle, but the Razorbacks were unphased, converting scoring drives of 74, 83, 77, 99 and 78 yards on the night.

UT Martin Skyhawks ..........................................14 Missouri State Bears ....................................... 24

Missouri State’s defense stepped up its pressure on visiting Tennessee-Martin in the second half, as the Bears overcame three turnovers to secure a 24-14 win over the Skyhawks. It was the fewest points allowed by Missouri State’s defense in 15 games as the Bears improved to 1-1 on the season.

After the Bears built a 17-7 halftime lead, UT Martin drove 44 yards to the Missouri State 16 on its opening possession of the third quarter only to miss a 33-yard field goal. The Bears responded by driving 80 yards on 12 plays for their third touchdown of the day on a nine-yard carry by Mikael Cooper-Falls (Fr., TB, Springfield, Mo.) to make it 24-7.

The Skyhawks battled 78 yards on 13 plays on their next possession for the final score of the game, a one-yard touchdown run by Tevin Barksdale, to make it 24-14.

But, the Bears forced UTM into another missed field goal, their third of the game, in the fourth quarter and later got a a fourth-down stop on the Missouri State 25 with 4:14 to play.

The Skyhawks outgained the Bears 322-288, but Missouri State’s ground attack produced 185 yards on 45 carries, including a team-best 54 yards by Miguel Warren, to control the clock. With the ground success, the Bears threw only 16 times on the afternoon, as Cody Kirby completed nine attempts for 103 yards -- and just 20 yards in the second half -- with one interception.

UTM had 127 rushing yards on 37 carries, but quarterback Cade Thompson completed 21-of-34 passes for 195 yards.

In the first half, the Bears fumbled on the first play of the game, but bounced back on a 23-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman to break up a scoreless game at the 6:44 mark of the opening quarter. Later in the first period, Jonathan Davis scored his second touchdown in as many games on a five-yard trot to cap a five-play, 35-yard drive.

The Bears scored the final play of the half, going 60 yards on six plays in 1:55, as Kirby kept it from 11 yards out for his 18th career rushing touchdown to extend Missouri State’s lead to 17-7.

Kirby finished the first half 6-for-11 through the air for 83 yards, including three catches for 38 yards by freshman Adrian Williams. Early in the second quarter, Clay Harbor extended his consecutive games reception streak to 24 and finished with 3 receptions for 30 yards.

The Bears had several stars on defense, including linebackers Adam Beauchamp, Antoine Wilkinson, and Michael Keck. Beauchamp had a team-high 10 tackles, while Wilkinson posted nine stops. Keck had nine total tackles, six solos, and two tackles for loss.

Murray State Racers ..........................................10 Missouri State Bears........................................35

Behind a pair of defensive touchdowns and 392 yards of total offense, Missouri State turned back Murray State, 35-10, in the Bears’ final non-conference game of the season.

Playing in wet conditions most of the day, Missouri State overcame an early 3-0 deficit to roll off 35 unanswered points and improve to 2-1 on the season.

Murray State took the early advantage on a 22-yard field goal by Kienan Cullen that bounced off the left upright and through on the game’s opening drive. The drive was Murray State’s longest in yards (65) and plays (10) on the afternoon.

The Bears retaliated with a 10-play, 62-yard touchdown drive of their own as Cody Kirby hit freshman Cadarrius Dotson from eight yards out to cap the four-minute, 22-second series and give Missouri State a 7-3 advantage.

After Murray State turned the ball over on downs at the Missouri State 27, the Bears marched 73 yards for another score two-and-a-half minutes later. This time it was Kirby connecting with Jermaine Saffold for a 26-yard touchdown strike to make it 14-3.

In the second quarter, Missouri State’s defense rose up with a series of sensational plays. The first momentum builder came on a 55-yard fumble recovery and return by Skylar Smith to make it 21-3. Later in the quarter, after Murray State killed a Bears’ drive at the Racers’ three-yard line with an interception by Harry McCall, Travis Ribbing came off the left end three plays later to sack Jeff Ehrhardt, forcing the ball loose. Waylon Richardet jumped on the fumble in the end zone for a touchdown to increase the Bears’ lead to 28-3.

The Bears ended the first half with a missed 52-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman, and then drove to the Murray State 26 on their first possession of the second half, only to see Hottelman miss a 43-yarder. Both kicks were wide left.

On its third possession of the third quarter, Missouri State drove 76 yards on just five plays for their final score of the day as Kirby hit tight end Wes Miller in the end zone to make it 35-3 with 1:03 to play in the period.

The Racers produced their only touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter as Ehrhardt connected with DeAngelo Nelson down the left sideline for a 35-yard touchdown score. Murray State would stop the Bears on downs in the red zone on the next two possessions, but could pull no closer as the rains intensified late in the ball game.

Murray State was held to just 27 rushing yards on 30 carries. The Bears used their balanced rushing attack to account for 169 yards on 44 carries, including Miguel Warren’s career-high 79 yards on six carries. Kirby was 17-for-28 through the air for 223 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was Kirby’s first three-TD effort since Oct. 4, 2008.

(3) Northern Iowa Panthers ..........................35 Missouri State Bears............................................7

No. 3 Northern Iowa outgained Missouri State 396-185 on Saturday, but the Bears rallied for a 16-play touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter to break up the shutout in a 35-7 Panthers win before 15,038 at Plaster Field in the Missouri Valley Football Conference opener for both teams.

The crowd was the ninth-largest home crowd ever for the Bears.

The game was dictated by a fast-paced first half by the Panthers. After the Bears intercepted UNI’s Pat Grace on the Panthers’ opening drive of the game, UNI reeled off touchdown drives in three of its next four possessions to build a 21-0 halftime lead. The Bears were unable to convert the interception by Cedric Alvis, the fifth of his career, into points and punted on their first five possessions.

After turning the ball over on their opening series for the first time this season, the Panthers found their mark. With 3:50 to play in the opening quarter, Jarred Herring capped an 83-yard touchdown drive with a three-yard carry to make it 7-0. UNI tacked on seven more points at the 6:17 mark of the second quarter as Grace ran for paydirt from 11 yards out. Just over four minutes later, Grace connected with D.P Eyman for a 27-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-0. The Panthers’ third touchdown drive of the first half consumed 75 yards on just six plays.

The Bears drove to the UNI 30 on their final drive of the half and passed up an opportunity for a field goal attempt with seven seconds to play to take a shot at the end zone. Cody Kirby‘s pass into the corner of the end zone was picked off by Quentin Scott to end the half.

Missouri State went three-and-out on the opening possession of the second half, then returned the favor to the Panthers, forcing them to give up the ball after three plays. However, the ensuing punt was fumbled by Miguel Warren at the MSU 10 yard line, setting up a one-yard touchdown run by Carlos Anderson three plays later.

The final dagger came on Northern Iowa’s next possession when the Bears pinned the Panthers in at their own 11. Grace led his team 89 yards on nine plays for the team’s final touchdown of the game as he connected with Eyman for a 26-yard catch and run on a third-and-12 play.

The Bears’ late touchdown drive consumed a season-high 16 plays. Kirby connected with Clay Harbor on a third-and-goal from the five for Missouri State’s only score. Harbor had a game-high and season-high seven receptions for 43 yards.

Jonathan Davis led all Bears’ rushers with nine carries for 47 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Starter Miguel Warren carried 14 times for 34 yards, and Kirby was 17-for-30 for 116. He was sacked four times, all in the first half.

Also highlighting Missouri State’s efforts was a 72-yard punt by sophomore Jordan Chiles in the second quarter that matched the sixth-longest kick in school history.

(19) South Dakota St. Jackrabbits.............. 24 Missouri State Bears......................................... 17

The Bears (3-2, 1-1) earned their first-ever win at Youngstown State, holding the Penguins scoreless in the second half, forcing four turnovers and throwing for 252 yards in a 17-7 conference victory.

The Bears jumped out of the gates quickly in the first quarter, taking the game’s opening possession and marching 64 yards on just four plays to take a 7-0 lead.

On the fourth play of the drive, quarterback Cody Kirby found All-America tight end Clay Harbor for a 52-yard touchdown strike. Harbor collected the pass at the 22 and strolled into the endzone as Kirby was flushed out of the pocket and found Harbor for a career-long reception.

After forcing the Penguins to punt on their first series, the Bears scored again, driving all the way to the YSU one-yard line before settling for a 20-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman to make it 10-0. The scoring driving include a 57-yard completion from Kirby to Jonathan Davis at the Youngstown eight-yard line. An illegal participation penalty against the Penguins move the ball to the four, but the Bears couldn’t punch it in on three straight rushing attempts and settled for the field goal.

Youngstown State drove into Bears’ territory on its first possession of the second quarter, going to the Bears 41 before Brandon Summers’ pass was picked off by Derek Miller at the Bears’ 20-yard line. It was Miller’s third interception of the season.

However, Youngstown was able to put points on the board on its next series after forcing the Bears to punt for a second straight possession. Summers’ hit Donald Jones for a 32-yard touchdown pass to cap an 11-play, 76-yard touchdown drive to make it 10-7 with 3:34 to play in the first half.

The Bears attempted to rally and drove to the YSU 30 as time wound down in the second quarter. However, Kirby was intercepted on a one-handed snag by Lenny Wicks at the one-yard line to keep the score 10-7 at the intermission.

To open the second half, the Bears forced another Youngstown turnover as Antoine Wilkinson pried the ball loose from Kevin Smith, and Michael Keck recovered the fumble at the Penguins’ 36 yard line. Seven plays later, Jonathan Davis carried it into the end zone from four yards out to give the Bears a 17-7 lead. The Bears’ second touchdown drive included a key third-and-15 completion to Harbor for a 17-yard gain to the 23. A 15-yard completion to Jermaine Saffold two plays later moved the sticks to the eight, and two four-yard carries by Davis put points on the board.

The Bears secured the win in the fourth quarter by burning 5:08 off the clock late in the period, including a 14-yard scamper by Davis on a third-and-11, and a 13-yard run by Warren on a third-and-8, before Youngstown forced MSU to punt and had the ball on its own 22 with 2:24 left in the game. The Penguins were able to pick up 25 yards over the next 1:06, but turned the ball over on downs with 1:18 to play.

Kirby finished the night 19-28 for 252 yards and a touchdown, with Harbor serving as his favorite target with six grabs for 101 -- his third career 100-yard game. Davis ran for 55 yards and Warren added 36.

A fourth-quarter rally by Missouri State against No. 19 South Dakota State fell just short as the Bears drove to the six-yard line before a key interception by the Jackrabbits in the end zone with 38 seconds to play gave SDSU a 24-17 conference win.

The fourth-quarter rally came on the heels of a 16-play, 80-yard touchdown drive by the Bears with 5:29 to play in the game to cut South Dakota State’s lead to 24-17.

A five-yard touchdown pass from Cody Kirby to Jared Emery capped the impressive march down the field that consumed more than six minutes. MSU converted two fourth-down plays and one third-down on the drive.

After the score, the Bears’ defense forced SDSU into a three-and-out punt from its own 43. Dean Priddy’s ensuing kick pinned the Bears in at their own 18 with 3:41 left in the game. Kirby then went to work, first connecting with Cadarrius Dotson for 13 yards on fourth down at the MSU 24, then going deep to Jermaine Saffold for 17 yards to midfield on a third-and-14 play.

Kirby then reeled off three spectacular completions in a row to get the ball to the six. A 19-yard completion to Jermaine Saffold to the SDSU 31 set up a nine-yard completion to Clay Harbor on the next play to the 22. A sensational 16-yard grab by Emery then took the ball to the six. That’s where General Parnell intercepted Kirby’s pass in the corner of the end zone on the next play and returned it 63 yards to the MSU 37 before the Jackrabbits ran out the clock. It was Parnell’s second interception of the game.

Kirby finished 29-for-46 for 288 yards -- all career highs at the time -- but was intercepted three times. His 29 completions was an MSU record. Ten different Bears caught passes, including a game-high seven by Emery who finished with 67 yards, while Harbor caught six balls for 53 yards, and Saffold had four catches for a careerbest 101 yards, making him the team’s second 100-yard receiver in as many weeks.

Missouri State outgained South Dakota State by a 404 to 344 margin, marking the Bears’ first 400-yard game of the season and the first time MSU had outgained an opponent in a loss since the 2008 opener against Washburn.

In the first half, coach Terry Allen’s squad took their opening drive to the SDSU 32-yard line before a 49-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman gave Missouri State a 3-0 lead. Then after falling behind 14-3, the Bears rallied with a 19-play, 72-yard touchdown drive on the opening sequence of the second quarter. Miguel Warren capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown carry, the second of his career, to make it a 14-10 game. The drive consumed the most plays of any MSU scoring drive this season and took 7:37.

SDSU then tacked on a field goal with 1:39 to go in the first half, and a TD pass at the 2:31 mark of the third quarter to build a 24-10 lead before the late MSU rally.

Missouri State Bears......................................... 17 Western Illinois Leathernecks ....................16

A 72-yard drive in the final two-and-a-half minutes propelled the Missouri State Bears (4-3, 2-2) to a 17-16 conference win over Western Illinois. The game-winning, 37-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman with 36 seconds to go gave MSU its only lead of the game as it overcame a 16-0 deficit.

After taking over at his own 18 with 2:24 on the clock, Missouri State quarterback Cody Kirby completed a 44-yard pass to Clay Harbor on the first play from scrimmage to the WIU 38. Kirby then carried 10 yards to the 28 before Jonathan Davis moved the ball to the 20 on three straight carries, setting up a game-winner by Hottelman. The six-play, 72-yard drive consumed 1:48.

WIU was able to complete one pass on its final desperation drive, but never advanced past midfield.

Kirby’s 341 passing yards was a career high and the most in the Terry Allen era at MSU. He finished 18-of-32 through the air, including eight receptions for 171 yards

by Harbor, also a career high.

Missouri State outgained the Leathernecks (1-5, 0-3) 358 to 262, despite committing the game’s only three turnovers.

WIU made things difficult on the Bears early. MSU was forced to punt after just three plays, marking its first three-and-out opening drive of the season. The ensuing snap to punter Jordan Chiles sailed over his head and through the end zone for a safety to make it 2-0 Leathernecks with 7:14 to play in the opening quarter.

WIU’s Dre Gibbs finished with 39 carries and a game-high 162 yards on the day, making him just the second 100-yard rusher against the Bears this season.

After WIU made it 16-0, the Bears retaliated with a 33-yard touchdown completion from Kirby to Jermaine Saffold to cap a seven-play, 76-yard drive with 4:01 to go in the half. Matt Hottelman’s extra point made it 16-7. It was Saffold’s second touchdown of the season and second-longest play of his career.

The Bears were rock solid on defense in the second half, forcing four WIU punts and ending two series on downs in the final 30 minutes, while allowing the Leathernecks to run just 26 plays on their final six drives of the game.

MSU pulled within 16-14 with 5:42 to go on a two-yard touchdown run by Chris Douglas to cap a 12-play, 93-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Kirby completed five of seven passes on the drive, including completions of 22 and 28 yards to Harbor. The drive consumed 3:41 and was the team’s longest drive of the season.

On its next series, WIU had a chance to put the game away as Will Lunt completed what appeared to be a 42-yard touchdown pass to Terrium Crump on third-and-six at the MSU 42, but the play was called back on an ineligible receiver downfield penalty, and the Bears forced the Leathernecks to punt two plays later. The Bears then took over at their own nine, setting up the game-winning drive.

Oct. 24, 2009, FargoDome, Fargo, N.D.

Missouri State Bears.........................................21 North Dakota State Bison ................................ 17

Missouri State played opportunistic football on offense and used three big defensive sequences backed up against their own goal line late in the game to pull out a 21-17 league win over North Dakota State in the FargoDome.

The Bears claimed their fourth straight league road win, dating back to last season.

It was just the second Harvest Bowl loss for the Bison in 35 tries.

With NDSU operating deep in MSU territory three times in the final 12 minutes of the contest, the Bears got a fumble recovery on their own one-yard line, held the Bison to a field goal on a second drive, and then got four straight stops inside the Bears 45 on the final NDSU possession to get the ball back with 1:25 to play and North Dakota State out of time outs.

The Bears got off to a flying start, holding NDSU to a three-and-out on its opening possession before Luther Roweton blocked the ensuing punt, setting the Bears up at the Bison 17. Three plays later, Cody Kirby rolled left on a misdirection play and scrambled untouched into the end zone to give Missouri State an early 7-0 lead with just under 12 minutes to go in the opening period. The run was the junior quarterback’s 19th career rushing touchdown.

After forcing the Bison to punt again on their next possession, the Bears wasted a huge opportunity, driving from their own 20 to the NDSU 15 before Matt Hottelman missed a 33-yard field goal attempt, wide right, neutralizing a 65-yard drive.

It looked as if the damage would be minimal after the Bears’ defense held the Bison to another three-and-out on their next series. However, two personal fouls -one for roughing the kicker and one for a facemask -- extended the Bison drive to the Bears’ 27. Two plays later, Joe Mohler hit Lee Vandal for a 21-yard touchdown strike to tie the game, 7-7.

The Bears continued moving the ball on their third drive. On third-and-one at their own 49, Chris Douglas ran 51 yards for what appeared to be a go-ahead touchdown, but the play was called back with a holding penalty. Kirby, however showed his resiliance and scrambled out of the pocket to his left and hit Clay Harbor in stride for a first down to the NDSU 49 on the next play. Nine plays later, Kirby found Harbor in the end zone for a 10-yard TD strike, the ninth of Harbor’s career, to make it 14-7 with 5:26 to go in the half.

After NDSU tied the game again, Cooper-Falls rushed 57 yards for a Bears touchdown on the second play of the third quarter to put them up for good, 21-14. It was the Bears’ longest run from scrimmage this season.

With 8:14 to go in the fourth, Jordan Chiles’ punt was blocked on the Bears’ fourth series of the half, setting the Bison up at the Bears 17-yard line. However, Paschall carried to the one yard line before fumbling, where Derek Miller picked it up for the Bears with 6:58 to play. NDSU added a late field goal, but the Bears defense held strong again in the final two minutes to secure the win.

Illinois State spoiled MSU’s homecoming with a steady running attack led by Cliffton Gordon. The sophomore running back carried 30 times for 122 yards, including 67 in a stalemate of a second half, while freshman quarterback Matt Brown added 133 yards and two touchdowns through the air.

After falling behind 21-14 at the half, Missouri State had opportunities in the second half, but it could not convert them into points. The longest drive of the half took the Bears to the Illinois State 32 early in the fourth quarter, but with the wind at his back, Matt Hottelman missed a 49-yard field goal wide left.

The Redbirds responded with an 11-play, 43-yard drive to the MSU 25 which set up a 42-yard field goal by Zach Kutch to give ISU a double-figure lead, 24-14.

MSU would turn the ball over on downs twice in the fourth quarter, including what looked to be a promising drive into ISU territory in the final two minutes. However, the drive stalled at the ISU 36 when Cody Kirby’s fourth-and-eight pass attempt sailed well over his target’s head to end the threat.

Illinois State took over with 1:09 remaining and ran out the clock to return the favor after the Bears upended the Redbirds on their Homecoming in Normal a year ago.

Kirby finished with 248 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 19-of-32 pass attempts.

The junior moved into a tie with Mitch Ware (1976-79) and Jeremy Hoog (1994-97) for first place in MSU career touchdown passes with 36 in posting his 13th 200-yard passing game.

Tight end Clay Harbor also had a big game for the Bears with eight receptions for 102 yards to move into sole possession of first place on the school’s all-time receptions list with 138. It was the All-American’s third 100-yard receiving game of the season and fifth of his career.

Antoine Wilkinson led four Bears defenders in double-figures in tackles with a career-high 20 stops. He also had a pass break-up and one tackle for loss.

At the end of the first half, a desperation pass into the end zone as time expired put Illinois State up 21-14. The 38-yard pass from Brown to Brandon Venson into the end zone bounced off two Bears before Venson reeled it in to give the Redbirds a sevenpoint advantage for the third time in the game.

The Bears bounced back from a rocky start that saw ISU convert a whiffed punt into seven points early in the game. MSU bounced back with a quick-strike score with 5:03 to play in the opening quarter on a 47-yard pass from Kirby to Jermaine Saffold, his second touchdown reception of the season.

After ISU regained the lead 14-7, the Bears then rallied for a 10-play, 79-yard touchdown drive that concluded with Kirby connecting with Cadarrius Dotson for a 28-yard touchdown catch-and-run to make it 14-14 before Browns’s last-second desperation TD pass. Illinois State outgained the Bears 311 to 279 in the game.

Head Coach Terry Allen

Head Coach Terry Allen, 4th season

Terry Allen’s first three-plus seasons as Missouri State’s head coach have given Bears fans reasons to be excited about the future of the MSU football program.

Allen was named Missouri State’s 19th head football coach on December 20, 2005.

In his inaugural season at Missouri State, Allen inherited a senior-heavy team that finished 2-9. However, the Bears dropped four games by a touchdown or less that campaign and dropped another contest by 10 points. The team landed three players on the 2006 all-conference list with Chris Wash (DL), Nathan Stokes (P/K), and Eric

Davis (RS) earning AllMVFC distinction.

Allen then took his charges to an exciting 6-5 campaign in 2007, the biggest improvement for a Missouri State team in 19 years. The Bears were 5-1 at home in Allen’s second season and produced 36.3 points per game, MSU’s best scoring average ever for an 11-game season, including 49.5 points a game for the team’s six home contests.

Missouri State played eight straight ranked teams in 2007 and knocked off three of them.

Once again, three Bears landed on the All-MVFC squad in 2007 as Clay Harbor (TE), David Arkin (OL), and Nathan Stokes (P/K) received honors.

Harbor was also named to the AP Third-Team All-America squad, while senior TB Gerald Davis set a season record with 19 rushing touchdowns.

In 2008, the Bears continued to make great strides under Allen’s leadership. Despite a 4-7 overall record, the substance of the team’s performance

showed a 3-3 road record, which matched the school’s most road victories since 1996.

Likewise, the Bears’ 3-5 record in the newlook 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 solid inventory of underclassmen. Harbor earned All-MVFC First Team honors for the second straight year, while moving up to Second Team on the AP All-America list. Joining the standout tight end on the all-conference squad were sophomore guard Arkin and second-year quarterback Cody Kirby.

Now in his second stint in the league, Allen left the Valley in 1996 and came back a decade later to find the league had changed in look and play quality. When he left UNI after the 1996 season, his 75-26 record made him the winningest coach in Missouri Valley Football Conference (formerly Gateway Conference) history and gave him a .743 winning percentage.

His Panther teams won or shared league titles in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and competed in the NCAA playoffs each of his last seven seasons at UNI. The Panthers advanced to the national semifinals in 1992 and 1996.

Allen was named MVFC Coach of the Year five times in his last six seasons at UNI and was named Kodak Regional Coach of the Year for the 1992 and 1996 seasons.

Allen’s UNI teams did not lose a home game in Gateway Conference play in his eight years as head coach. He lost two games in those eight seasons to Illinois State and the other league schools only beat him one time each. Starting in 1992, UNI was ranked nationally for 87 consecutive weeks.

Allen followed more than 20 years of success as a player and coach at UNI with five seasons as head coach at the University of Kansas (1997-2001), and later spent four seasons as associate head coach, tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at Iowa State University (2002-05).

Allen’s teams were 20-33 his five seasons as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks. Included in that tenure were

Head Coach Terry Allen wins over nationally-ranked Colorado, a win over Oklahoma, and three victories over arch-rival Missouri. He guided Kansas to its 500th all-time win in 1997. Allen also opened his last KU season with a 24-10 win over Missouri State in 2001.

Allen’s KU and UNI tenures finished with a collective 95-59 overall record, including a 63-4 record when his teams were ahead at halftime. Allen’s squads were 31-15 in games decided by seven points or fewer. He also tutored nine future NFL players during that stint, including Arizona Cardinals all-pro quarterback Kurt Warner who was the 1999 and 2001 NFL Offensive Player of the Year for the St. Louis Rams.

Former all-pro linebacker Bryce Paup, the 1995 NFL Defensive Player of the Year with the Buffalo Bills, 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. McCarney and Allen grew up together in Iowa City, and McCarney was Allen’s prep track coach.

In Allen’s four seasons at Iowa State, the Cyclones went to three bowl games with Allen coaching several special teams.

After graduating from UNI with a degree

in physical education in 1979, Allen joined Stan Sheriff’s staff as a graduate assistant coach. Allen moved to a full-time position the next year. He stayed on the staff when Sheriff retired and handed the reins to Darrell Mudra in 1983. Allen stayed on again when Earle Bruce became head coach in 1988. During his decade as a UNI assistant, Allen had responsibility at various times for the Panther quarterbacks, offensive backs and wide receivers.

A native of Iowa City, Iowa, Allen was a quarterback at West High School there.

He was a backup signal-caller at UNI as a freshman in 1975 and was the starting quarterback the next three seasons as the Panthers of head coach Sheriff moved to the 16,300-seat UNI-Dome.

In his 16-year head coaching career, he has mentored 17 AP All-America players and 178 all-conference selections.

Allen’s Iowa roots run deep. His father, Robert Allen, was a football player and national champion swimmer at the University of Iowa. The elder Allen served as an Iowa assistant football coach and head men’s swimming coach for 16 years.

Allen and his wife, Lynn, have three children; Angela, Chase and Alex.
