2008 Season Review

Recapping the 2008 Campaign Great Expectations

Going into the 2008 season, Missouri State had its sights set on a breakthrough campaign on the heels of the program’s first winning season since 2004. The high-octane Bears that produced a 6-5 ledger and school record 399 points in 2007 returned 45 lettermen and 15 starters to Plaster Field last fall. Third-year head coach Terry Allen also cornered three preseason all-conference selections in sophomore standouts David Arkin (OG) and Cody Kirby (QB), along with All-America tight end Clay Harbor. For the first time since 2001, Missouri State’s football conference expanded with the addition of new members North Dakota State and South Dakota State to the renamed Missouri Valley Football Conference. The two new schools brought the membership in the former Gateway Conference to nine schools. NDSU earned the top spot in the preseason poll, while SDSU was sixth, just ahead of the Bears who were tabbed seventh. The Bears used the league poll snub as motivation through fall camp and early practice sessions as they prepared for their September 4 opener.

Slow Out of the Gate

Opening night at Plaster Field had the makings of a great debut as the Bears moved the ball seemingly at will against Division II Washburn. The Bears threw for a season-best 261 passing yards, gathered 24 first downs and ran off 82 offensive plays. MSU’s 433 yards of total offense was its second-best output of the year, and after falling behind 14-0 in the early going, the Bears went on a 24-7 run to lead 24-21 with 6:13 to go in the third quarter. The Washburn offense, however, also had an impressive night, racking up 374 yards and posting touchdown drives of 64 and 60 yards in a span of less than five minutes to reclaim an 11-point lead early in the fourth quarter. Not to be outdone at home, the Bears capped a 58-yard drive with 8:22 to play with a 38-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman to bring the Bears back within eight, 35-27. MSU returned fire with back-to-back defensive stops and drove to the Washburn 15 with less than a minute to go. Kirby then found senior Chris Geisz inside the five-yard line, and he stretched toward the goal line for what appeared to be a remarkable touchdown catch. However, the ball was spotted an inch shy of the goal line, and the Ichabods took over on downs with 10 seconds to go, handing the Bears just their second loss to a Division II school since 1982. Penalties were the one constant for both teams in the opener with 20 flags thrown. The Bears were penalized 10 times for a season-high 99 yards against the Ichabods, including two that impacted would-be MSU scores. Senior tackle Kevaughn Brown earned MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors after helping the Bears roll up 5.3 yards per play. The Bears then went

to Oklahoma State in Week 2 to do battle with the Cowboys, who would ultimately finish with a 9-4 record and earn a bid to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. En route to a 7-0 start, OSU throttled the Bears, 57-13, in MSU’s first-ever nationally-televised football game while the announced crowd of 43,388 was the fourth-highest total to ever see a Bears’ grid contest. If misery loves company, the Bears certainly had plenty of companions who suffered similar fate at the hands of Oklahoma State. The Cowboys posted 55 or more points in five different ball games in 2008, including four in a row during the team’s first five games. OSU brutalized the Bears on the ground in the rainy conditions in Stillwater with 56 carries for 450 yards and seven scores while claiming three 100-yard rushers. The Cowboys’ 13 penalties for 130 yards seemed inconsequential at the time, but both resulted in opponent season highs. The rain and OSU’s constant pressure kept Kirby in check to the tune of four completions for 23 yards, but the Bears’ rushing attack found some success with 173 ground yards on a seasonhigh 48 attempts, including 76 yards by Kingjack Washington and 43 by Miguel Warren. Kirby did manage a touchdown pass to Clay Harbor late in the third quarter, while Hottelman hit a career-long 49-yard field goal late in the first quarter and added a 29-yard kick in the second.

Turning the Tables

The 0-2 start didn’t seem to phase the Bears as Week 3 found them in Cape Girardeau to renew a long-time rivalry with Southeast Missouri State in the 74th meeting between the two schools. The Bears were outgained 445-314 against the Redhawks, but made up for it with four interceptions -- including picks by Chris Farrar (47 yards) and Cedric Alvis (57 yards) returned for scores -- and a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Brandon Oliver. The end result was a season-high 45 point outburst that included 195 passing yards by Kirby, including seven completions and a touchdown to Harbor. The 45-28 win was never in real jeopardy, but SEMO’s fourth-quarter touchdown drives of 73, 79 and 53 yards made things interesting as Houston Lillard completed 30-of44 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns for the Redhawks. The road win at Southeast completed the non-conference schedule before the Bears welcomed No. 21 Western Illinois to Plaster Field on October 4 for the league opener before the largest home crowd since 2004 (13,020). The Bears fell behind 20-0 at the half, but rallied for 14 unanswered points in the third quarter, including a 68-yard touchdown strike from Kirby to Justin Fuselier right after the intermission. An 11-play, 80-yard drive followed later in the quarter with Alvis recovering a WIU fumble in the end zone to set up a 7-yard scoring strike from Kirby to Oliver to make it 20-14 where it remained until midway through the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for MSU, that’s when the Leathernecks’ allconference running back Herb Donaldson took over, scoring on a pair of four-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter. Donaldson finished the game with 273 yards on 41 carries and four touchdowns, while WIU totalled 459 ground yards and 520 total yards in a 33-21 decision over the Bears. Kirby posted a season-high three touchdown passes in the game, while Byron Hightower, Jr., accumulated 17 total tackles which marked the most by a Missouri State player during the 2008 campaign.

The setback to Western Illinois would prove to be the only loss in a four-game stretch as the Bears took their early-season frustrations out on the Penguins of Youngstown State the following week at Plaster. The Bears claimed an early 14-0 lead on Homecoming and responded well in the second half after the Penguins tied the game, 14-14, just before the intermission. Washington rushed for a career-high 133 yards on 23 carries with a game-clinching touchdown late in the fourth, while classmate Stephen Johnston carried 13 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns, and Kirby also tallied a pair of ground touchdowns as part of his 56-yard outing. The team’s 272 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns were season highs, and the Bears sealed a 42-28 win over YSU, marking just the second win in 13 tries for the Bears in the series. Kirby became the fastest MSU quarterback to 2,500 career passing yards in the game, doing so in just his 16th game, while Washington eclipsed 1,000 career rushing yards making him just the fourth Bears’ sophomore to reach that milestone. Safety Roger Wright tallied 12 tackles, including 2.5 for loss in the win to earn MVFC Defensive Player of the Week laurels. The victory before 11,005 fans at Plaster set the stage for a critical road game at Illinois State and a chance to eclipse the .500 mark in the league in Week 6. After falling behind 17-7 on the Redbirds’ homecoming, Kirby engineered a 79-yard touchdown drive just before halftime to pull the Bears back within three points of the lead, as the sophomore signal caller called his own number for the second of three rushing touchdowns on the day to make it 17-14. Jeremy Dawson’s blocked field goal on the final play of the first half took the momentum into the locker room for Missouri State at the intermission and kept the deficit at three. ISU tacked on a pair of scores in the third quarter to build its lead to 26-14, which set the stage for a Kirby-led clutch comeback. Three consecutive touchdown drives of 79, 78 and 83 yards nullified poor field position and resulted in three straight MSU touchdowns, including a go-ahead 26-yard touchdown run by Johnston at the 8:32 mark, and a thrilling 77-yard Kirby-to-Fuselier strike with 4:50 remaining that gave the Bears a 34-26 lead CLOCKWISE from left: Chris Geisz comes up inches short of a potential game-tying touchdown against Washburn.

2008 Season Review

with less than five minutes to play. The Bears surrendered a late safety in an attempt to run out the clock on fourth down and secured a 34-28 road win to improve to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the MVFC. Kirby for his part earned MVFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after amassing 313 yards total offense and accounting for four touchdowns. Guard Seth Reichert also earned league honors with MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week laurels in the victory over the Redbirds. Wright also had a great game defensively, posting 14 tackles, including nine solos.

One Play Away

On the heels of back-to-back league wins, the Bears welcomed No. 13 Southern Illinois to Plaster Field on October 25. In perhaps the best defensive effort of the season by Missouri State, the Bears forced five turnovers and held the Salukis to just three points through the game’s first three quarters. A 36-yard blocked punt return for a touchdown by Derek Miller gave the Bears a 7-3 lead with 3:59 to go in the third quarter and seemed to lift the home crowd. The Bears’ offense to that point had been stagnant, punting in six of its first nine possessions in addition to a missed field goal, interception and a series that ended at halftime. The late surge by the Bears took a hit when the Salukis scored on their next two possessions to build a 17-7 lead with 9:03 to go in the ball game. However, Kirby marched the Bears back into field goal range with 4:11 to go as Hottelman added a 20-yard three-pointer to cap a 76-yard drive that covered 12 plays. After forcing SIU to punt, the Bears took over again on their own 13 with 1:42 remaining. Kirby passed for 63 yards and rushed for nine more on the drive and hit Brandon Oliver for a 26-yard touchdown strike with just 18 seconds left to tie the game. The strike from Kirby extended his streak to eight games with a touchdown pass and capped the second-longest touchdown drive of the season by the team, while giving the league’s defending Offensive Player of the Week impressive fourth-quarter comebacks in back-to-back weeks. With the score tied 17-17, the Salukis took over on their own 34 yard line with just 18 seconds to go, and it appeared the teams were headed to overtime for the third time in their series. But, on the final play of the game, SIU quarterback Chris Dieker somehow escaped two would-be tacklers and hit Marc Cheatham in stride for a 51-yard touchdown pass as time expired to hand the Bears a stunning 23-17 defeat. Kirby’s 22 completions matched a career high, while Sam Block’s 10 tackles, fumble recovery and interception highlighted a tremendous defensive effort.

2008 Season Review

Road Worries

The sting of the home loss to SIU seemed to linger the next two weeks as the Bears took to the road for their first-ever trip to league newcomer South Dakota State as well as a trip to league front-runner Northern Iowa. The Bears never got in-sync in Brookings, falling behind 19-0 early to the Jackrabbits. Missouri State took some momentum into the intermission by capping a 67-yard drive with a three-yard TD pass from Kirby to Geisz, but South Dakota State scored the game’s next 24 points and amassed 580 yards total offense in a 43-13 win. The Bears collected just 35 rushing yards on 20 carries, but managed to play turnover-free football. Kirby completed 21 passes for 165 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Roger Wright collected 14 tackles on the defensive side. SDSU was 8-for-13 on third down and finished with 318 passing yards on a mild November afternoon in South Dakota. The following week, the Bears took on No. 4 Northern Iowa at the storied UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Fighting for national seedings and an opportunity to stay atop the MVFC standings, the Panthers were relentless in their attack, amassing 504 yards total offense, including 363 ground yards on 62 carries. UNI held the Bears to just 81 yards total offense, matching an all-time low in the Division I era and handing the Bears their first shutout loss in 94 games. Kirby completed 14-of-26 passes for 78 yards, and Jeff Sargent’s 15 yards rushing on two carries -- his first of the season -- led MSU rushers. Jeremy Dawson’s 10 tackles led the Bears’ defense, while Clay Harbor had four receptions. Kirby’s only interception of the day was fatal, coming deep in UNI territory late in the fourth quarter at the UNI 33. From there, his pass was picked by Craig James and returned 75 yards for a touchdown to make it 42-0 in the final scoring play of the ball game. The Panthers would represent the MVFC in the Division I FCS Playoffs, advancing to the national semifinals, before suffering a stunning 21-20 home loss in the final minute to eventual national champion Richmond.

Finishing Strong

The Bears returned home to face No. 25 North Dakota State on November 15 for their Plaster Field finale. The Bison had spent time at No. 1 during the season and were the league preseason favorites, but had struggled on the road and came to Springfield with a 5-4 record. The Bears matched NDSU punch-for-punch in the first half, getting a pair of Hottelman field goals and a five-yard touchdown run by Kirby to go into the locker room tied 13-13 at the half. However, the Bears committed two turnovers in their first two

possessions of the second half which resulted in 14 unanswered North Dakota State points as the Bison built a 27-13 advantage. Kirby’s second touchdown run of the game with 1:26 left in the third quarter brought the Bears back within seven points. And after NDSU scored again just before the end of the quarter, the Bears retaliated with a 15-yard strike from Kirby to Geisz with 7:50 remaining to make it 34-27. The Geisz score was set up by a fumble recovery by Clayton Dickehut at the Bison 19-yard line three plays earlier. The one-possession game took a turn for the worse on the ensuing series as NDSU’s Tyler Roehl went 80 yards on the first play of the drive to extend the visitors’ lead to 14 points in an eventual 48-27 Bears’ loss. Kirby finished with 217 passing yards, his fifth 200-yard game of the season and completed 15-of28 passes despite being sacked eight times for 67 yards. Kirby also eclipsed 3,500 career passing yards in the contest. Harbor had a career day, catching eight passes for a career-best 113 yards. Memories of the team’s second straight heartbreaking home loss would be short-lived as the Bears finished up the regular season at Indiana State. The Bears built a 14-0 lead in the first half behind a season-long 91-yard scoring drive that culminated in a 16-yard score by Miguel Warren. Kingjack Washington later capped a 12-play, 77-yard scoring drive with a two-yard touchdown run to help the Bears enjoy a double-figure lead in the early going. On a frigid afternoon in Terre Haute, the Sycamores finally warmed up late in the third quarter, marching 95 yards on 14 plays to break up the shutout on a seven-yard score by Darrius Gates. Gates would later cap an 82-yard scoring drive early in the fourth quarter to tie the game, 14-14. With time running down, Gates kept momenutm on Indiana State’s side by sprinting 77 yards to the MSU one-yard line with 48.6 seconds remaining. Gates’ mad dash set up a one-yard score by Ryan Roberts on the next play and gave ISU a late 2114 advantage. After the ensuing kickoff, the Bears took over on their own 46 with 39.9 seconds left. A pair of completions, first to Warren for five yards and then to Chase Mejia for 14 yards, moved the ball to the ISU 34 with 21 seconds to go. After a pair of incomplete passes, the Sycamores were whistled for a facemask penalty on Kirby with 2.3 seconds left, moving the ball to the 19-yard line.

On the next play, Kirby hit senior Geisz in the end zone for a touchdown as time expired, and Hottelman converted the PAT to force overtime with the score tied, 21-21. The improbable MSU comeback gave Kirby a fourth-quarter touchdown pass in seven of the team’s last eight games on the season, but gave new life to a team that had seen the Sycamores run off 21 unanswered points. In overtime, Indiana State netted just two yards on its first possession, resulting in a 39-yard field goal to retake the lead 24-21. Kirby then took things in his own hands, calling his own number on runs of six and 19 yards for the only two plays the Bears had in extra time to lift Missouri State to a 27-24 overtime victory. Kirby finished 17-for-35 for 193 yards, while Washington led the Bears’ rushing attack with 113 yards on 20 carries in the program’s first overtime win in eight tries. MSU’s 439 yards total offense was its secondbest output of the 2008 campaign, but the Bears’ four turnovers was a season high.

Honors & Milestones

The Bears capped a 4-7 campaign with a 3-5 record in the MVFC, which tied MSU for sixth place -- one rung higher than predicted in the league’s preseason poll. A deeper look inside the numbers reveals that the Bears’ three road wins in 2008 was second only to league champion Northern Iowa in the conference and matched the most road victories by the Bears since they went 4-2 away from home in 1996. The team’s three conference wins also matched the most by the program since 1993. And despite cold weather in the home finale affecting attendance, the Bears managed to draw 8,958 per game at Plaster Field, which ranked 42nd nationally among all 118 Division I FCS schools and was well above the national average in the FCS division. Individually, Clay Harbor was the only MSU player on the AllMVFC First-Team for the second year in a row, while he earned Associated Press All-America Second Team distinction and claimed a spot on the College Sporting News’ Fabulous Fifty AllAmerica Team. Earning All-MVFC Second-Team honors were quarterback Cody Kirby, safety Roger Wright and guard David Arkin, while cornerback Cedric Alvis, safety Skylar Smith, and wide receiver Chris Geisz were named to the honorable mention squad. Freshmen Jordan Chiles (punter) and David Ingram (linebacker) also earned spots on the MVFC All-Newcomer squad. Senior defensive lineman Chris Brehmer led a cast of three Bears to earn MVFC All-Academic honors along with Arkin and Geisz, while receiver Jared Emery and defensive end Clayton Dickehut were All-Academic honorable mention selections.

September 4, 2008, Plaster Field, Springfield

Washburn .................................... 35 Missouri State ............................ 27

Missouri State fell behind 14-0 in its season opener, but took the lead midway through the third quarter only to fall inches short in the final seconds in a 35-27 loss to visiting Division II Washburn. On the Bears’ final play of the night, sophomore Cody Kirby completed a pass to senior Chris Geisz at the goal-line, but Washburn defender Casey Curran made a game-saving tackle. The ball was spotted inches short of the goal line, and the fourth-down and goal play ended MSU’s comeback hopes when Washburn took over on downs with 10 seconds to go. Kirby finished with 261 passing yards, his second-best single-game output, with 21 completions on 42 attempts and a career-high 314 total yards. Geisz led nine Bears receivers with 61 yards and a touchdown on his three catches. Freshman Chase Mejia, who left the game with a third-quarter injury, had a team-high four receptions for 40 yards. The Bears managed 172 yards on the ground with a trio of sophomores getting all the carries. Kingjack Washington accounted for 68 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. Kirby matched a career-high 53 rushing yards, while Stephen Johnston added 51. Jeremy Dawson posted a career-high 13 tackles and had a forced fumble and a recovery. Fellow co-captain Roger Wright secured 10 tackles. Bears’ sophomore Justin Fuselier scored his first career touchdown on a 16-yard pass from Kirby with 16 seconds left in the half to knot the game, 2121. The Bears took the lead briefly on a 31-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman in the third quarter, 24-21. After 14 unanswered Ichabod points, Hottelman added a 38-yard field goal with 8:22 left to pull the Bears within eight, a deficit they could not overcome despite the late-game 38-yard drive.

Missouri State ........................... 13 Oklahoma State .......................... 57

In their first-ever nationally-televised game, the Missouri State Bears got out of the gate slowly and never caught the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a 57-13 road loss. The Cowboys amassed 572 yards total offense, including 492 on the ground, and scored the game’s first 22 points. The rainy conditions came into play early as the Bears’ Kingjack Washington fumbled on the first play of the game, turning the ball over at the Missouri State 14 and setting up OSU’ first score of the afternoon five plays later. The Cowboys were brutal on the ground with three players tallying over 100 yards -- Keith Toston (148), Beau Johnson (138) and Kendall Hunter (132) combined for 418 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Bears’ junior kicker Matt Hottelman broke up OSU’s shutout with 17 seconds left in the first quarter on a career-long 49-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 22-3 going into the second period. Hottelman added a 29-yarder just before the half that capped a 17-play, 59 yard drive that consumed nearly eight minutes. On that drive reserve Miguel Warren had 31 rushing yards and finished with 43 yards for the game. The Cowboys built their lead to 50-6, before Cody Kirby hit tight end Clay Harbor from 15 yards out to make it 50-13. The score capped an 11-play, 78-yard drive. It marked the 13th straight game Harbor has had at least one reception, and the third game in a row with at least one touchdown pass for Kirby who finished 3-for-15 for just 25 yards. Sophomore Skylar Smith led the Bears with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. Tony Randolph added seven stops, and Chris Farrar had six.

Missouri State ............................ 45 Southeast Missouri St. .............. 28

Missouri State collected three first-half interceptions and tallied 314 yards total offense overall to overtake Southeast Missouri State in the 74th meeting between the two schools. The Bears got on the board with 3:46 left in the opening quarter on a 25yard TD reception by senior Chris Geisz from Cody Kirby. The early touchdown strike capped a 64-yard drive that took the Bears just seven plays. Kirby later scrambled into the end zone with 6:30 to play in the first half to make it 14-0 after Matt Hottelman’s second PAT. Senior cornerback Chris Farrar responded on the final play of the half and returned his first career interception 47 yards for a touchdown to give MSU a 21-0 halftime lead. The Redhawks broke up the shutout in the third quarter, however the Bears responded on the ensuing drive, marching 78 yards on nine plays, for their fourth touchdown of the night, a seven-yard strike from Kirby to Clay Harbor. Harbor matched a career high with seven catches on the night. Southeast scored on passing plays of 20, 22, and 36 yards in the fourth quarter, but MSU responded with a 95-yard kickoff return by Brandon Oliver, a 45-yard field goal by Matt Hottelman and Cedric Alvis’ 57-yard interception return with 58 seconds to play. The Bears were led by Kirby’s 195 passing yards on 20-of-27 attempts while Kingjack Washington had 58 rushing yards. Tony Randolph had 13 tackles for Missouri State to lead the defense, while Byron Hightower added eight, and Skylar Smith joined Chris Farrar with seven tackles apiece. Smith and Chris Miller also added interceptions for the Bears.

The largest Plaster Field crowd since 2004 saw Western Illinois use a steady diet of smash-mouth football to accumulate 459 rushing yards and take advantage of several first-half mistakes by the homestanding Bears to secure a 33-21 win in MSU’s 2008 conference opener. Missouri State fell behind early when WIU’s Herb Donaldson turned a fumbled punt by the Bears into six points on a 15-yard touchdown run three plays later. The Bears were able to drive inside the Leathernecks’ five yard line late in the first quarter before a Tyler Carey interception in the end zone gave WIU the ball back. Nine plays later, Donaldson scored again on a 38-yard run to build Western’s lead to 13-0. Dre Gibbs tacked on a 41-yard touchdown run with 3:21 left in the second quarter to make it 20-0 at half. The Bears came out of the locker room in the third quarter and struck quickly, holding WIU to three-and-out on its first possession before Cody Kirby hit Justin Fuselier on the team’s first play of the half with a 67-yard touchdown strike to make it 20-7. Fuselier finished with a career-best five catches for 92 yards. On the next possession, Western drove to the MSU 15 when Cedric Alvis recovered a fumble in the end zone to give the ball back to Missouri State. Kirby then engineered an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive on the ensuing series, capped by a seven-yard TD pass to Brandon Oliver. Matt Hottelman added his second PAT of the afternoon to make it 20-14. Donaldson, who finished with 273 yards, scored two more touchdowns, both from four yards out, to extend the Leathernecks’ lead to 33-14. MSU scored the game’s final points, when Kirby, who finished with 246 passing yards, hit Chris Geisz from 16 yards out to make the final score, 33-21. It was Geisz’s third touchdown catch of the year. Byron Hightower, Jr. led the defense with a career-high 17 tackles.

Youngstown State ...................... 28 Missouri State ............................ 42

Kingjack Washington rushed for a career high 133 yards, and the Bears collected five rushing touchdowns to defeat Youngstown State, 42-28, on Homecoming. It was the Bears’ second win in 13 meetings with YSU. After first-half rushing touchdowns by sophomores Cody Kirby and Stephen Johnston gave the Bears an early 14-0 lead, Youngstown State fought back to tie the game just before the half, 14-14. In the second half, the Bears recaptured the lead for good on Johnston’s 38-yard touchdown run with 11:58 left in the third quarter, capping a 67-yard scoring drive. On MSU’s next possession, Kirby culminated a 16-play, 80yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run to build MSU’s lead to 28-14. YSU got a one-yard touchdown run from Jabari Scott with 29 seconds left in the third quarter to pull within seven points, 28-21. Scott finished with 97 yards and three total touchdowns for the Penguins. However, the Bears answered again, marching 59 yards in just over twoand-a-half minutes, when Jeff Sargent made a physical catch and run from 12 yards out for his first career touchdown on a pass from Kirby. Sargent’s touchdown gave MSU three scores in its first three second-half drives. With 4:05 left in the game, Washington scored the Bears’ final touchdown from eight yards out to extend the lead to 42-21. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for his career, making him the fourth MSU sophomore to reach that milestone. Johnston also had a career high with 87 yards. After Scott’s final touchdown of the day with 2:00 remaining, YSU recovered the ensuing onside kick, but MSU senior Jeremy Dawson came up with an interception on the MSU 40 with 1:04 left to seal the win. Kirby finished with 127 yards on 11-for-14 passing and 183 yards total offense and became the youngest MSU QB to pass for 2,500 career yards.

Cody Kirby’s 77-yard touchdown pass to Justin Fuselier with 4:50 remaining in the game secured a 34-28 comeback win over Illinois State for the Bears, giving Missouri State back-to-back league wins for the first time since 2001 and first league road win since 2004. The Bears trailed 17-14 at the half and 26-14 going into the fourth quarter before Kirby engineered three straight touchdown drives of 79, 78 and 83 yards, respectively, in the final period. Kirby’s three rushing touchowns matched a career high, while his 59 ground yards was a career-best. He also eclipsed the 200-yard passing plateau for the third time in 2008 and sixth time overall, completing 17-of-27 passes for 254 yards. Kingjack Washington led the Bears’ rushing charges, carrying 17 times for 85 yards in the game, while Stephen Johnston had nine carries for 60 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown run with 8:32 left in the fourth quarter that gave the Bears their first lead since 7-3. Kirby’s 17 completions went to nine different receivers, including a gamehigh six catches by Clay Harbor who accounted for 66 yards, while Fuselier’s 99 yards on two catches were a game high in receiving yards. Defensively, the Bears came up with two interceptions on the day, as Tony Randolph and Byron Hightower, Jr. recorded timely picks, while Jeremy Dawson blocked a field goal on the final play of the first half. Roger Wright had a game-high 14 tackles, including nine solos, while Skylar Smith had nine stops, and Terian Washington had two sacks -- including a key sack late in the fourth quarter -- six tackles, and 2.5 tackles for loss. Kirby earned MVFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in helping MSU to its third win in four games.

2008 Season Review Game

Game

Oct. 25, 2008, Plaster Field, Springfield, Mo.

(13) Southern Illinois ................. 23 Missouri State ............................ 17

A 51-yard touchdown pass from Chris Dieker to Marc Cheatham as time expired gave No. 13 Southern Illinois a 23-17 win. Dieker scrambled left, eluded two would-be MSU tacklers and hit a wide-open Cheatham in stride at the 21, and he went untouched into the end zone for the winning score. The three-play, 66-yard drive seemed improbable as the homestanding Bears tied the game, 17-17, with 18 seconds remaining in the fourth when Cody Kirby hit Brandon Oliver for a 26-yard touchdown strike to cap a sevenplay, 87-yard drive -- MSU’s longest TD drive of the season. Kirby passed for 63 yards and rushed for nine more on the drive while extendnig his streak to eight consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass. Trailing 17-7 with 4:11 left, Missouri State’s Matt Hottelman converted a 20-yard field goal to make it a 17-10 game as Kirby passed for 40 yards on the 12-play, 76 yard drive for the Bears’ first offensive score of the day. The Bears defense, which forced a season-high five turnovers, forced SIU to punt on the ensuing possession, setting up the game-tying drive. The Bears got on the board for the first time with 3:59 left in the third period when Cory Harbor blocked a Scott Ravanesi punt. Derek Miller picked up the loose ball and scrambled 36 yards for a touchdown, and Matt Hottelman’s extra point gave MSU a 7-3 lead. Missouri State was held to just 32 rushing yards on 24 carries – their lowest rushing total since Nov. 6, 2004. Kirby was 22-for-40 for 253 yards. His 22 completions matched a career high as he finished with his fourth 200-yard passing game of the season and seventh of his career while becoming the eighth MSU quarterback to tally 3,000 career passing yards. Junior tight end Clay Harbor went over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for his career, pulling down three catches for 49 yards, while Chase Mejia was the team’s top receiver on the day, matching a career best with five catches for 47 yards. Justin Fuselier also had four receptions for 30 yards. Tony Randolph and Sam Block topped the Bears’ defense with 10 tackles apiece. Block also had an interception and a fumble recovery.

The Bears fell behind 19-0 early and never found their stride in their firstever game against league newcomer South Dakota State. An 11-yard touchdown pass from Cody Kirby to Chase Mejia with 2:32 left in the game highlighted the Bears’ only substantial drive of the second half. The eight-play, 60 yard scoring drive put the Bears in double figures in scoring for the 24th straight game. Kirby’s strike to Mejia was his second TD pass of the game, extending his streak to 9 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass. He finished with 165 yards passing on 21 completions and 32 attempts. The Jackrabbits built a 19-0 lead with 8:14 to go in the second quarter on a pair of early field goals from Peter Reifenrath and 14-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Berry to Glen Fox. The first field goal was set up by a 63-yard completion to JaRon Harris off a tip and near-interception by MSU’s Chris Farrar that Harris reeled in and carried deep into the red zone. Farrar blocked his second field goal of the season with just under seven minutes left in the second quarter as Reifenrath attempted a 52-yard field goal. Kirby and the Bears took advantage of the momentum, culminating the ensuing drive with a three-yard touchdown pass from Kirby to Chris Geisz. It was Geisz’s fourth touchdown catch of the season, and it put the exclamation mark on a 14-play, 67-yard drive that consumed 5:56. The extra point attempt by Matt Hottelman missed wide left – his first miss in 26 attempts this season – to make it a 19-6 game at the half. MSU gave up a season-high 580 yards, and finished with just 35 ground yards on 20 attempts. Kirby completed passes to 11 receivers including four to Geisz. Roger Wright’s game-high 14 tackles led the MSU defense, while Byron Hightower and Skylar Smith each added eight stops.

2008 Season Review Game

Game

Nov. 8, 2008, UNI-Dome, Cedar Falls, Iowa

Missouri State .............................. 0 (4) Northern Iowa ....................... 42

The Bears’ second trip to the UNI-Dome under coach Terry Allen proved disastrous as the eventual national semifinalists and No. 4 ranked Panthers handed MSU a 42-0 loss. UNI kept the Bears under 100 yards total offense for just the third time in the Division I era, and the Bears’ 81 total yards matched an all-time low for offensive production, achieved also in 1986 against Jackson State. Missouri State dropped its third straight game and was shut out for the first time in 94 games. The Bears fell to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in the league. After UNI built a 19-0 halftime lead, Corey Lewis and the Panthers picked up where they left off with a one-yard touchdown run on their second possession of the third quarter. Lewis added another TD score with 53 seconds left in the third on a three-yard touchdown dive that built UNI’s lead to 33-0. The Bears were pinned deep in their own territory on their final drive of the third quarter and were forced to punt for the ninth time. However, an errant snap sailed over punter Jordan Chiles’ head for a safety to make it 35-0. The Bears ran 12 plays in the third quarter for -1 net yards. MSU drove into UNI territory for the first time midway through the fourth, moving to the Panthers’ 33 before a Cody Kirby pass was intercepted by Craig James and returned 75 yards for a touchdown. It was just Kirby’s fifth pick of the year and first in his last 74 pass attempts. The interception return made it 42-0 and handed Missouri State its first shutout defeat since being blanked at Arkansas in the 2000 season opener. Kirby was 14-for-26 for 78 yards for Missouri State and had a nine-game streak with at least one touchdown pass snapped. It was his lowest passing output since a 25-yard output at Oklahoma State earlier in the season. Jeff Sargent carried twice for 15 yards to lead MSU in rushing – his first carries of the season -- while Chase Mejia (36 yards) and Clay Harbor (17) each had four receptions. Jeremy Dawson led the defense with 10 tackles.

(25) North Dakota State.............. 48 Missouri State ........................... 13 Missouri State............................. 27

After an even first half on senior day at Missouri State, the Bears fell short as visiting North Dakota State rolled up 35 second-half points en route to a 48-27 win in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. North Dakota State turned two MSU turnovers on its first two possessions of the second half into 14 points to take a 27-13 lead and never looked back. NDSU had 462 yards total offense, but the Bears won the time of possession (35:45) and had more first downs, 19-17. Cody Kirby finished with 217 passing yards -- his fifth 200-yard game of the season -- and was 15-for-28 through the air, despite being sacked eight times on the day. Bears’ tight end Clay Harbor caught a career high eight passes for 113 yards, while Chris Geisz had a touchdown grab. Kirby also ran for two scores for the Bears, who were penalized a season-high 11 times, surrendering 127 yards in sacks and penalties on the offensive side. Trailing 27-13 in the third, Kirby brought the Bears back within 27-20 after he ran it in from one yard out. He eclipsed the 3,500-yard mark in career passing with 52 yards on 2-for-3 attempts on the 86-yard drive. Clayton Dickehut recovered a Bison fumble at the NDSU 19 with 9:52 remaining. The turnover set up a 15-yard touchdown pass from Kirby to Geisz three plays later to once again bring the Bears back within seven points at 34-27. But, Tyler Roehl turned the tides with an 80-yard touchdown run on the very next play to extend the Bison lead to 41-27. Cedric Alvis had seven tackles and an interception to lead the MSU defense, while Roger Wright had six tackles and a fumble recovery.

2008 Season Review Game

Nov. 22, 2008, Memorial Stadium, Terre Haute, Ind.

Missouri State ............................ 27 ot Indiana State............................... 24

Missouri State won its season finale in improbable fashion, 27-24, over Indiana State as Bears’ quarterback Cody Kirby took things in his own hands to score the game-winner on two running plays in overtime. After Indiana State gained just two yards on its overtime possession, the Sycamores settled for a 39-yard field goal by Braulio Martinez to take a 2421 advantage. Kirby and the Bears took over, and the sophomore signal caller picked up six yards on MSU’s first overtime play on a keeper. On the next play, Kirby turned the corner on another keeper for 19 yards and the game-winning touchdown, securing a 27-24 MSU win. The Bears (4-7, 3-5) claimed their first win in four games and won their third Missouri Valley Conference game for the first time since 2004. Indiana State finished 0-12 and 0-8 in the league while extending its losing streak to 26 games. It looked as if the Sycamores’ streak was going to end late in the fourth when Darrius Gates dashed 77 yards to the MSU one-yard line with 48.6 seconds left in the fourth, setting up a one-yard score by Ryan Roberts on the next play. The three-play, 92 yard drive capped a 21-0 run for ISU and gave the Sycamores a 21-14 lead with just over 40 seconds remaining. After the ensuing kickoff, the Bears took over on their own 46 with 39.9 seconds left. A pair of completions, first to Miguel Warren for five yards and then to Chase Mejia for 14 yards, moved the ball to the ISU 34 with 21 seconds to go. After a pair of incomplete passes, the Sycamores were whistled for a facemask penalty on Kirby with 2.3 seconds left, moving the ball to the 19-yard line. On the next play, Kirby hit senior Chris Geisz in the back of the end zone for a touchdown as time expired, and Matt Hottelman made the extra point to force overtime, 21-21.

2009 April 25, 2009, Plaster Field, Springfield, Mo. Spring White............................................ 17 Game Maroon......................................... 17 A 47-yard field goal by Jordan Chiles on the final play of the day secured a 17-17 tie in the squad’s annual intrasquad exhibition. Chiles’ kick brought the White team even with 3:10 left in the fourth quarter. At that point, head coach Terry Allen brought both sides to midfield and declared the game a draw. The White team, guided by assistant coach Bob Montgomery, jumped out to an early lead on a four-yard touchdown run by Stephen Johnston in the first quarter, capping a 52-yard drive. That’s when Cody Kirby’s Maroon team got going, reeling off 17 unanswered points to build a 17-7 advantage. A 36-yard TD run by Kirby capped a six-play, 65-yard drive on the first play of the second quarter, Matt Hottelman made good on a 38-yard field goal attempt, and Kirby connected with Jared Emery on a 21-yard scoring play just before the half. Johnston, who finished with 53 yards on nine carries, brought the White team back midway through the third quarter on a nine-yard score. The drive was set up after a botched field goal attempt on a high snap by the Maroon team gave Montgomery’s side a 49-yard field to work with, and made the score 17-14. Coach John Scott then tried to bring the Maroon side back as Kirby and Kingjack Washington pushed their side to the White 15-yard line. However, sacks by Levi Moore and Terian Washington pushed Kirby and the Maroons back to the 28, and Hottelman’s ensuing 45-yard field goal missed just right. Two possessions later, Tyler Horner drove the White side 38 yards on 12 plays to the Maroon 30, setting up Chiles’ game-tying field goal. Defensively, Missouri transfer Michael Keck had eight tackles to lead the Maroon team, including three sacks and a pass break-up. Byron Hightower also added nine stops for the Maroon side, and Andre Anderson had the game’s only interception.

2008 Season Review

2008 Coors Players of the Week Game 1 vs. Washburn

Game 2 at Oklahoma State

Game 3 at Southeast Mo.

Junior kicker Matt Hottelman (O’Fallon, Mo.) connected on field goals of 31 and 38 yards in the second half while converting all three PAT opportunities. His clutch 38-yarder with 8:22 remaining pulled the Bears back within eight points of Washburn and kept them within striking distance as time wound down. He also averaged 60.5 yards per kickoff, including one touchback in the season opener.

Sophomore safety Skylar Smith (Springfield, Mo.). came up with a fumble recovery in the game at Stillwater and posted a gamehigh 11 tackles, including seven solo stops. Starting in his second collegiate game, Smith upped his season totals to 18 total tackles and 11 solos, both tops on the squad. Through two weeks, Smith was tied for fifth in the MVFC and tied for 43rd nationally in tackles per game (9.0).

Junior tight end Clay Harbor (Dwight, Ill.) matched a career high with seven receptions in the game. His 88 receiving yards were a team high and his seven-yard TD grab from Cody Kirby with 4:43 left in the third quarter came at a pivotal point in the game for the Bears, increasing their lead to 28-7 headed into the fourth quarter. He also extended his streak to 14 straight games with at least one reception.

Game 4 vs. Western Illinois

Game 5 vs. Youngstown St.

Game 6 at Illinois State

Game 7 vs. Southern Illinois

Sophomore linebacker Byron Hightower, Jr. (Raytown, Mo.) recorded a game-high 17 tackles in the Bears’ 33-21 loss to Western Illinois at Plaster Field. Starting at middle linebacker for just the second time in his career, he tallied four solo and 13 assisted tackles, including one tackle for loss and one pass break-up against the Leathernecks, nearly doubling his career total for tackles.

Sophomore tailback Kingjack Washington (Owasso, Okla.) posted career highs with 23 carries and 133 yards with a touchdown in Missouri State’s 42-28 win over Youngstown State. It was the second 100-yard game of his young career. He also became just the fourth MSU sophomore to reach the 1,000-yard career rushing plateau and helped set up four other MSU scoring drives.

Sophomore quarterback Cody Kirby (Rogers, Ark.) accounted for four touchdowns and had 313 yards total offense in MSU’ 34-28 come-from-behind win at Illinois State, helping the Bears to the first road conference win since 2004. Kirby also rushed for a career-high 59 yards in the game and threw a TD pass in his seventh straight game. He also went over the career 3,000-yard mark in total offense (17 games).

Sophomore linebacker Sam Block (Ozark, Mo.) recorded 10 tackles, including two solo stops, forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and snagged one of two Bears’ interceptions in the team’s narrow 23-17 home loss to No. 13 Southern Illinois. Block and the Bears’ defense held the Salukis to just three points in the game’s first 48 minutes and forced a season-high five turnovers in a game decided on the final play.

Game 8 at South Dakota St.

Game 9 at Northern Iowa

Game 10 vs. North Dakota St.

Game 11 at Indiana State

Senior safety Roger Wright (Grandview, Mo.) recorded a game-high 14 tackles in the Bears’ 43-13 loss at MVFC newcomer South Dakota State. Wright had eight solo stops in the contest, also a game-high, and helped anchor the MSU defensive backs that accounted for 35 of the team’s 86 tackles on the afternoon. The team co-captain started his 19th straight game.

Freshman punter Jordan Chiles (Hillsboro, Ill.) averaged a season-best 42.8 yards per punt in Missouri State’s 42-0 road loss against No. 4 Northern Iowa. His nine punt attempts were also a season high. Chiles’ hit a careerlong 64-yard punt in the second quarter, pinning UNI in at its own 15. He also had punts of 45, 50 and 54 yards and helped keep UNI drives out of MSU territory.

Junior tight end Clay Harbor (Dwight, Ill.) had career highs in both receptions and yards with 8 catches for 113, including two plays over 20 yards and a long reception of 26. The preseason All-American helped Cody Kirby throw for his fifth 200-yard game of the season, collecting more than half of the team’s 15 completions, and extended his streak to 21 games with a catch.

Quarterback Cody Kirby (Rogers, Ark.) engineered the game-tying and gamewinning scores in the final seconds as the Bears posted an improbable comeback at Indiana State. Kirby marched MSU 54 yards in 40 seconds to tie the game as time expired before carrying twice for 25 yards in overtime, including the gamewinning TD. He had 259 total yards and 193 passing yards.

Missouri Valley Football Conference

Welcome to Valley Football The past three seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Within that span, the league has lost a member, gained two members and changed its name. Despite those developments, one thing -- quality, nationally competitive football -has remained constant for the league, which celebrates its Silver Anniversary in 2009. The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 25th year of existence this fall and has proven to be one of the nation’s premier NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues. There’s not much that has eluded the conference in its first 24 years of existence. The league’s first two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national coaches of the year, No. 1 national rankings, and countless All-Americans. 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 prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it enters its 25th season in 2009. In June 2008, presidents of the ninemember 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 Conference (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 will remain separate entities. While the 2008 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as UNI became the 14th different league team to reach the semifinals of the FCS playoffs, while Southern Illinois also represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 14th straight season in which at least two teams have participated in post-season play. For four-straight weeks, six league teams were ranked in the Top 25 -- the first time that had ever happened, while North Dakota State

enjoyed the No. 1 national ranking for twostraight weeks early in the 2008 campaign. RB Herb Donaldson (WIU) was a finalist in the Walter Payton Award voting while leading the nation in rushing and scoring. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has two recent national championships (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 six FCS championship trophies are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005) runner-up finishes. Only five FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship 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. During the past 12 years, the league has two national championships, and eight other semifinal trips. The league’s 35-25 playoff mark in that span is third-best among all FCS leagues, and the conference has had four teams reach the title game since 1997.

members of 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 Valley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best. Last year, despite tough scheduling, five teams in the conference had winning records, matching an all-time high. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 15 times now, including the past 11 seasons. A minimum of two league teams have won at least nine games in each of the past seven seasons. In 1997, Youngstown State claimed the national title for the conference, as the league had one of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s first national championship, the Penguins finished the year ranked No. 1, marking the first time a league member has held that spot in a seasonending poll. That year, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking the first time the league ended the year with two teams ranked among the top six. In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Conference trumped that, as Youngstown State finished the year No. 2, and Illinois State was No. 3. UNI, too, finished 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 WIU (No. 5) finished among the nation’s top five in the season-ending polls. The Hilltoppers became the first 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 first time any league has sent that many to the playoffs in the same year. In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a leaguerecord 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

Missouri Valley Football Conference Western Kentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1 ranking in the top-25 polls for five weeks. In 2006, Youngstown State won its secondstraight league championship and the Penguins were joined in the playoff field by Illinois State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16team playoff field. 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. Last year, six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the first 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 first 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 first league season. 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 first 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 institutions. The Gateway Conference football division 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, Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State), and Western Illinois. The creation of the football division marked the first 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 24 years of the football division, league membership has been stable -- with only five fluctuations 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 addition 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 first time. The Missouri Valley Football Conference is among eight FCS conferences that receive automatic bids to the NCAA FCS Championship. Those other leagues include the Big Sky, the Colonial (formerly the Atlantic-10 and the Yankee), the Mideastern Athletic, the Ohio Valley, the Patriot League, the Southern, and the Southland. The conference has had an automatic bid since 1986, as the FCS Football Committee waived the league’s twoyear waiting period and granted the league an automatic bid after just one year. The Missouri Valley Football Conference is the only automatic FCS qualifying conference that sponsors football as its only sport, as the league completed its service to women’s athletics following 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 membership) include Illinois State University (1985), Indiana State University (1986), Missouri State University (1985), North Dakota State Univer-

The 1948 Bears of Coach Tommy O’Boyle shared the MIAA title with Northwest Missouri State as each team had a 4-1 conference record. MSU then took a 9-1 season mark into the Mo-Kan Bowl game, a contest matching Missouri and Kansas small college conference champions, and came away on the short end of a 34-20 score with Emporia State. Ray Haley scored twice for MSU after Emporia State grabbed a 21-0 lead but the Hornets put the game away late. Missouri State Emporia State

November 26, 1966, Excelsior Springs, Mo.

Coach Orville Pottenger’s 1963 squad had the first perfect Missouri State season in 23 years, going 5-0 in MIAA play. The Bears went to the Mineral Water Bowl to face the nation’s top small college passer, George Bork of Northern Illinois. It was 7-7 after three periods but NIU got TD passes from Bork to Hugh Rohrschneider and Dave Broderick in just four minutes early in the final period. MSU RB Cornelius Perry got his second TD late in the period but the Bears couldn't pull even and NIU won, 21-14.

Missouri State posted another 5-0 MIAA championship 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 E 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.

The Missouri State Bears hosted their first NCAA FCS football playoff game ever and earned the first postseason grid win in MSU history as K Chris Potthast hit a 33-yard field 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 field. QB DeAndre Smith brought the Bears back from an early 17-7 deficit with three TD runs, and QB Paul Carney ran for the Bears’ final two scores after Smith went out with an injury. Both MSU passers fired 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 quarterfinals.

The pass-happy Stephen F. Austin State Lumberjacks scored early and often on their home field behind QB Todd Hammel to oust Missouri State from the Bears' first 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 final 10-3 season record.

The Missouri State Bears couldn’t handle the onetwo 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 first 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 field goal by Richard Grote made it 35-35 on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Vandals added two more field goals in the closing minutes and finally stopped Missouri State on downs on the Idaho 45 with half a minute remaining in the game to prevail.

MSU Student-Athlete Code of Conduct Introduction Student-athletes at Missouri State University (“University”) are representatives of their teams, the Department of Athletics and the University. It is a privilege, not a right, to be a member of an intercollegiate athletics program. It has many benefits, but student-athletes receive a higher level of interest from the public and the media. That attention means student-athletes have a responsibility to be positive and effective members of their program, the University and the Department of Athletics. As a member of an athletics program, student-athletes are expected to demonstrate the pillars of good character by displaying integrity, honesty, respect for others and good sportsmanship in all academic, athletic and social activities. Additionally, student-athletes are to abide by all University policies, Athletic Department, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and conference rules and regulations, as well as city, county, state and federal laws and standards of behavior. The Student-Athlete Code of Conduct is an Athletic Department policy that applies to all student-athletes including those that are not actively competing in their sport. The standards and expectations set forth apply at all times: in season, out of season, on or off campus, and on and off the playing field. Sanctions will be applied for violation of this Code. Student-athletes have an obligation to report Code of Conduct violations to their Head Coaches or the Faculty Athletics Representative as soon as possible. Student-athletes who do not conform to this Code may be subject to greater consequences for misconduct that is not reported or that involves multiple or repeat violations. The Head Coach or Faculty Athletics Representative who learns of a Code of Conduct violation shall report same to the Athletic Director within 24 hours. A written copy of the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct will be provided to student-athletes annually. It will also be included in the Student-Athlete Handbook and will be available online at the missouristatebears.com website.

Springfield’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 five kickoffs for TDs and had several other long runbacks in three seasons at Missouri State. Defensive statistics on tackles were first 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.

History and Records

Plaster Sports Complex

The Missouri State Bears play in one of the top FCS facilities in the country, a stadium which is 68 years old in 2009, but which has undergone numerous renovations and improvements to keep it in top-notch shape. The new 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. The stadium also got a facelift in the summer of 2006 with the installation of a new FieldTurf artificial playing surface on the football field. The 400-meter running track was resurfaced 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-figure 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 first artificial turf in 1987, a new running track in 1988, and additional

seating in 1990. The home of Missouri State football for half a century, Plaster Field enjoys a picturesque, landscaped location at the heart of the campus. The 50th birthday revitalization of the stadium in 1991 will make it a focal point of campus activity at Missouri State well into the new century. The summer of 1991 saw a major construction project rise 120 feet above Kings Avenue behind the existing stadium. When the addition was finished, it nearly doubled the seating capacity, giving MSU 16,300 seats in a modern, functional home to many activities in addition to providing a superb home for Missouri State Bears football. The completion of the renovation coincided with the 50th anniversary of the first 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 first 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. Also added were restrooms, and concession and souvenir stands. The ground level includes 12 racquetball courts and recreational locker rooms. On the second level, behind the skyboxes, one end of the facility includes a large student exercise area with an extensive installation of workout equipment. The other end contains the Plaster Strength Center, a 7,200-square foot athletics weight room. The third level contains restrooms and concessions. An elevator at the west entrance connects the levels. The final renovation followed three preliminary

additions. The artificial surface was added in 1987, and replaced in 2000 and 2006. MSU became the fifth of seven schools then in the Valley with artificial turf. 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 field, soccer, field hockey and marching band events. In 1990, an additional 2,000 seats were installed on the east side of the stadium, along with additional concession stands, restrooms, ticket booths, a new student entrance and extensive landscaping. Plaster Sports Complex received many enhancements in the 1970s and 1980s, including additions and improvements to seating, the 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, field hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, and track and field teams. Missouri State also hosts numerous interscholastic and club track, marching band, handball, racquetball, soccer, football, and field hockey events as well as classes and practice for a variety of intercollegiate sports teams in the facility. The facility was the SMS Stadium from 1941 until 1970, and was Briggs Stadium from 1970 until it was renamed Plaster Field in 1991.

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 first 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 field 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 dominated 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 2009 season is only the Bears’ 67th year in Plaster as MSU didn’t field 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 Freudenberger House now stands, MSU has a 192-142-12 record for 336 games in Plaster, and the Bears have been perfect at home in five seasons in Plaster, including 1989 and 1992. The longest MSU home win streak was 20 consecutive games, compiled between 1938 and 1941.

Bears in the Pros

Jason Whittle Buffalo Bills

Missouri State’s history of producing professional football talent dates back to Charlie Mitchell’s stint with the Chicago Bears in 1945 and extends to today with two active NFL players going into the 2009 season. Buffalo Bills’ offensive lineman Jason Whittle is preparing for his 12th NFL year in 2009. He signed a free agent contract in the 2003 off-season with the 2003 Super Bowl champ Tampa Bay Buccaneers after five years with the New York Giants. Whittle returned to the Giants in 2004 and moved to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2006 campaign before joining the Bills in 2007. An offensive and defensive line standout at MSU 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 has been in the NFL title game. Brad St. Louis is entering his 10th year with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2009. St. Louis starred for MSU at tight end from 1996-99 and played in both the East-West Shrine Game and 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 the tight end position. St. Louis has been very active in the Cincinnati region in a number of community relations activities, and is joined by a number of his teammates at the Brad St. Louis Football Camp each June for youth in southern Ohio and Kentucky. The MSU alumnus with the longest and most successful pro gridiron 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 at MSU from 1990 to 1993, Smith is the Bears’ and Gateway Football Conference all-time leader in interceptions with 24. A four-time CFL all-star, Smith has since joined Toronto’s front office staff in a community relations position and is also one of the team’s radio announcers. He was a 2008 inductee into the Missouri State University Athletics Hall of Fame. Another defensive back is bidding to find his niche in the professional ranks for the 2009 season.

Missouri State Athletics Hall of Fame

The Missouri State University Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1975 by then-athletics director Aldo Sebben, and the Women’s Athletics Hall of Fame was founded in 1981 by then-women’s athletics director Dr. Mary Jo Wynn. The two shrines merged and had their first joint induction in 1999. The original Hall of Fame was a joint endeavor of the MSU Letterman Alumni Association and intercollegiate athletics. The first 23 years of the men’s hall saw 179 people enshrined, while 70 went into the first 18 induction classes of the women’s hall. The 2009 induction class brought the total membership of the combined Hall of Fame to 320 former athletes, coaches and administrators. The 2009-10 induction will be held in February of 2010. 1975-76 INDUCTION
