Season Outlook

2010 Season Outlook Bears Chomping at the Bit

To say preseason anticipation surrounding Missouri State football is high would be an understatement. As head coach Terry Allen begins his fifth campaign with the Bears, his nucleus of 17 returning starters and 67 squad members has MSU fans buzzing.

The Bears showed great progress in 2009, demonstrating an uncanny ability to perform well on the road and giving both conference playoff representatives, Southern Illinois and South Dakota State, a run for their money.

As 2010 dawns, Allen and his squad want to translate the momentum and progress made last season into wins this season. On the 20-year anniversary of MSU’s last playoff team, nothing would make the Bears happier than to find a spot in the expanded 20-team Division I Championship playoffs.

“That’s always the goal,” said Allen. “But with so much talent returning and the expectations we have of our young players, I think we can certainly be part of the conversation.”

Allen is the first to admit that playoff discussions are only possible through hard work and on-field results. That’s where he hopes having six all-Missouri Valley Football Conference performers returning will help.

Leading the way is three-time All-MVFC selection David Arkin (Sr., ., OL, Wichita, Kan.), an All-America candidate date who is rated as one of the top offensive sive linemen in the Division I Championship hip p Subdivision. Arkin will anchor the offenfensive attack from the left tackle slot this his season and be in charge of protecting ng Cody Kirby (Sr., QB, Rogers, Ark.) from the blind side.

Kirby was an honorable mention all-MVFC signal caller last season after fter claiming second-team league honorss in 2008 and MVFC Freshman of the Year ear laurels in 2007. He is poised to make ea run at several MSU and league career eer passing records, having made 30 consecutive onsecutive starts. He is just shy of 6,000 career passing yards ds and has completed 60-percent of his passes while accounting unting for 57 touchdowns.

On the defensive side of the ball, look for the senior trio of Antoine Wilkinson (LB, B, Magnolia, Miss.), Waylon Richardet (DE, Perryville, ryville, Mo.) and Skylar Smith (SS, Springfield, Mo.) to take on leadership roles for their respective units.

Wilkinson was named MVFC Newcomer of the Year and was a first-team all-conference pick in his first season with the Bears last season. The All-America candidate was the first MSU player since 2004 to eclipse the century mark in total tackles and will hold down one of the middle linebacker spots this season with a great nose for the ball and impressive skills in all facets.

TE W. Miller Wade or Thayer WR Wooden Starnes

Richardet was as second-team all-conference selection a year ago and was named MVFC Defensive Player of the Week twice. The fifth-year senior is a key part of the three-man defensive line and brings an aggressive style of play up front that resulted in two fumble recoveries, a blocked kick, an interception and 2.5 sacks last season. second-team last season after Smith jumped to MVFC’s M notching 94 tackles in the secondary. He was the team leader in solo tackles (49) and broke up five passes.

Also returning from fro the all-conference team is punter Jordan Chiles (Jr., Hillsboro, Ill.) who averaged 40.1 Ch yards per punt his sophomore season with six 50yard kicks and 13 downed inside the 20. He finished 24th nationally in punting average and should 24t bring consistency and confidence to the brin special teams after earning the starting job the spec past two years.

Quarterbacks Qua Kirby is motivated to make an impact on the program his senior season, and his confidence in spring drills seemed to carry the offense more and more each week. His 183-yard performance in the Maroon and White game in April included completions on 13 of 18 attempts for an impressive .722 percentage to carry that m momentum into fall camp.

Last seas season, he threw for a career-high 2,120 yards to go along with another career-best 61.8-percent compl completion percentage. He was also nationally ranked in passing p efficiency and total offense. Even though his 16 interceptions in 2009 exceeded the 15 he threw in his first two seasons combined, all indications point to Kirby carrying the offensive load on his shoulders this t fall by using his speed, toughness and arm strength strengt to generate the scoring drives the squad needs.

Redshirt freshman Trevor Wooden (High Springs, back up Kirby and serve as the primary kick Fla.) will ba holder. He proved to be a capable team leader in spring drills and appears to be the heir apparent for the starting job down the road. He was 17-for-25 in three spring scrimmages and turned heads in the Maroon and White Game with 84 yards on four receptions as a receiver. Wooden’s athleticism makes him a threat in any situation, and Allen has indicated the redshirt freshman playmaker will be on the field in a variety of roles.

MissouriStateBears.com

Season Outlook Fellow redshirt freshman Tim Williams (Springfield, Mo.) will also be in the mix at quarterback. He demonstrated his arm strength with 77 yards on eight completions this spring and has a bright future in store if he continues to develop.

Running Backs After missing the entire 2009 season with a knee injury suffered in fall camp, Stephen Johnston (Jr., Mansfield, Texas) is back in the saddle and emerged from spring drills as the team’s top tailb tailback. Johnston averaged n nearly six yards per carry a as a sophomore in 2008 a and tallied three touchdowns. His size and speed d m make him a tough load to b bring down, and his fourth season with the program has the potential to be his best.

Pushing Johnston will w be Chris Douglas (Jr., Lawrenceville, Ga.) who was as the Bears’ top ground attacker this spring with 150 atta attacke rushing yards in three scrimmages. mage Last year, he produced 4.5 yards per carry and scored y four touchdowns in his first season seas at Missouri State. If the oft-injured Douglas can remain healthy, he has the rem ability abili to bounce off tacklers and stretch long runs which s can only help the Bears improve a ground attack that ranked rank fifth in the league last season.

Team pick Mikael CooperMVFC All-Newcomer T Falls (So., Springfield, Mo.) led Missouri State in rushing as a true freshman in 2009 with 424 yards on a team-high 92 carries, despite starting just two contests. How fast he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered this April will dictate how much he can contribute in 2010. However, if he returns in top form, the Bears’ backfield will shift to a strength for the upcoming campaign.

The late addition of former Missouri prep star Drew Temple (So., Kansas City, Mo.) over the summer is also significant to note. With great power, speed and a low center of gravity, Temple was perhaps the state’s top prospect out of Rockhurst High School three years ago. Stops at Big 12 schools Missouri and Kansas have followed, and despite not playing in a game since his high school senior season in 2007, his upside as a potential feature back could pay dividends.

Wide Receivers Missouri State returns three of its top five pass receivers from a year ago with 16 combined starts from youngsters Cadarrius Dotson (So., Memphis, Tenn.), Jermaine Saffold (Jr., Grandview, Mo.) and Adrian Williams (So., Jacksonville, Fla.).

Dotson was one of two MSU offensive players, along with running back Cooper-Falls, to earn MVFC All-Newcomer honors last year. As a true freshman, he caught 28 passes which

MissouriStateBears.com Mi iSt t B

ranked second on the squad behind All-America tight end Clay Harbor. This spring, he averaged nearly 16 yards per catch and solidified his spot among the team’s front runners at wideout.

Williams emerged from the spring as the big surprise, collecting more than 10 yards per catch and surpassing Dotson on the summer depth chart. He caught 10 balls for 90 yards as a true freshman in 2009.

Saffold has the size of a feature receiver and was the squad’s top receiver in spring drills. He caught 14 passes for 157 yards in three spring games and is coming off a 25-reception season in 2009 that netted 439 yards. His yardage total and three touchdowns were second on the club to Harbor, while his reception total ranked third.

Veterans Justin Fuselier (Sr., Tulsa, Okla.) and Adrian Taylor (Jr., Memphis, Tenn.) are both expected to make full recoveries from spring injuries and should challenge for starting positions as well. Fuselier earned the starting call three times in the squad’s last five games in 2009, while Taylor’s big-play ability, speed and vertical leap make him a dangerous weapon in any situation.

Fourth-year squadman Ian Starnes (Jr., Springfield, Mo.) and speedy Dan Reichert (So., Harrisonville, Mo.), who sat out the 2009 season in residence to meet NCAA transfer rules, are also primed to see significant playing time this fall. Starnes has reliable hands and is a natural leader, while Reichert’s reputation as a speedster will make him a welcome addition.

Offensive Line All you need to know about the Bears’ offensive line this season is: four returning starters and an All-America candidate.

In short, that sums up the high expectations of the o-line this season.

Living up to those expectations willl not be easy. For the ring leader, David id Arkin (Sr., Wichita, Kan.), it will mean n a shift from right guard, where he was ranked as the No. 1 player in Division I FCS football this summer, to left tackle. Protecting Kirby’s blind side is certainly a valid reason for the shift with Arkin grading out at 87 percent last season and earning All-MVFC honors for the third straight season.

Helping Arkin on the left side will be fourth-year junior Travis Simmons (Mexico, Mo.) who was a three-game starter last season after missing all of 2008 with an injury. His contributions will be critical if the Bears are to dominate the offensive line and execute in all phases of the game.

Erik Dahl (Sr., Olathe, Kan.) and Bob Shapel (Sr., Iola, Kan.) have been college teammates for three seasons, including time at Butler (Kan.) Community College.

They started nine games together at MSU in 2009 with Dahl looking to return to his duties at center and

Season Outlook Shapel moving from left tackle to right guard. The move will give the pair closer proximity and give the Bears more options up front.

Jake Duron (Sr., Springdale, Ark.) is the only lineman returning to his familiar spot after he graded out at 81 percent with 58 knockdowns a year ago at right tackle.

Senior Brent Chojnacki (Florissant, Mo.) leads the reserves up front. He started all 11 games in 2008 at center and will be a key factor in the trenches in 2010. The rest of the returnees are impressive young squad members who should be ready for regular game action this fall. Tackles Justin Aumen (RFr., Milford, Kan.) and Kyle Hahn (RFr., O’Fallon, Mo.) will provide depth, as well as guards Kurt Kutter (RFr., O’Fallon, Mo.), Philip Terhaar (So., O’Fallon, Ill.) and center Harrison Menke (So., Joplin, Mo.).

Tight Ends The Bears may have to take a tight end “by committee” approach in the preseason in hopes of finding the right combination of personnel for the upcoming season.

Tight ends coach Bob Montgomery was quick to point out this spring that teams cannot replace the talent of a player like All-American Clay Harbor -- who was a fourth-round draft pick by the Eagles this spring -- but as a unit, they have the talent to do the job.

Leading the charge is Wes Miller (Sr., St. Joseph, Mo.), a fifth-year squad member who had three receptions and a touchdown a year ago, while earning four starts.

Pushing Miller will w be Matt Thayer (So., Bellevue, Neb.), a transfer Belle from Iowa Western Community C College, and third-year sophomore Garett Wade soph (Lebanon, Mo.) who played in (Leba all 11 games a year ago and made a stellar catch in the Maroon and White Game this Maro spring. Second-year squad sprin member Matt Swan (RFr., mem Springfield, Mo.) could also Sprin and will bring adsee time t ditional depth and experience dition to a kkey spot up front.

Linebackers Line Sim Simply put, the Bears may have the deepest linebacker unit in i the conference this season. seas With all four starters returnWi ing and a 10 lettermen bringing a combined com 24 years experience to the corps, Missouri State will be fully armed for its se second season in a 3-4 scheme. sche On the outside, the Bears feature a vicious pair of hard-hitting rd returning starters in Michael Keck (Jr., Harrisonville, Mo.) and Terian Washingto Washington (Sr., Pine Bluff, Ark.).

Both men started all a 11 games last year,

2010 Missouri State Bears Football

and both are impact players. Keck was named to the conference AllNewcomer team after turning in 65 tackles, 6.5 TFLs and 2.5 sacks in his first year with the Bears after transferring from Missouri, while Washington is a fourthyear senior who notched 49 total stops and 7 for loss with five passes defended a year ago.

The Bears will have ee other er the luxury of three en at the OLB posireturning lettermen th and n challenge tions to add depth a Block (Sr., for starting roles.. Sam Kolby Hurt (Sr., Ozark, Mo.) and Ko r three-year letterBoonville, Mo.) are ar performers who will push a men and fifth-year he Sam Linebacker spot. Hurt and Washington at the So Lee’s Summit Rodney Kelly (So., Summit, Mo Mo.)) will also back up Keck at the Will LB position.

Returning squad men Rick Dansdill (RFr., Lake St. Louis, Mo.) and Chad Jones (So., Ocala, Fla.) are both talented young outside linebackers who should also contribute in 2010.

Dansdill shared the team’s Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year Award as a true freshman and should transition easily to linebacker after spending 2009 in the secondary.

Leading the way among the inside backers is 2009 MVFC Newcomer of the Year and first-team all-conference selection Antoine Wilkinson (Sr., Magnolia, Miss.). He is one of the top 10 middle linebackers in America, according to several publications, and the preseason All-American brings a predator’s mentality behind the line of scrimmage. With equal skills in ball pursuit and pass coverage, Wilkinson accumulated 113 tackles last season, becoming the first Bear since 2004 to reach the century mark in total stops. He also broke up a team-best eight passes, forced two fumbles and snagged an interception.

Also helping up the middle will be Adam Beauchamp (Sr., His big-play abilities and physical presence in the middle should help keep opponents in check again after he notched 80 tackles

Season Outlook a year ago. Like Wilkinson, he is ranked among the top 30 inside linebackers in the FCS and should push for postseason league honors again after making the MVFC All-Newcomer squad last season. Beauchamp missed the spring season while recovering from an injury but appears primed for a healthy return when camp opens.

David Ingram (Jr., Siloam Springs, Ark.) had a great spring running with the first unit in Beauchamp’s absence and will also be a key ILB. He and Byron Hightower (Sr., Raytown, Mo.) will push the returning starters and create great competition in the middle with seven combined seasons under their respective belts.

Also up the middle, Ryan Callender (So., Dallas, Texas) played in all 11 games as a true freshman in 2009. Fellow returning squad member Chad Moses (So., Jacksonville, Fla.) rounds out the talented group of inside backers.

Defensive Backs The Bears’ defense features nine returning starters overall, including three in the defensive secondary.

Derek Miller (Sr., Olathe, Kan.) looks to hold down the free safety spot after he snagged a team-high four interceptions and tallied 70 total stops a year ago. The two-year starter begins his fifth season with the Bears and should be pivotal as a leader on the defensive unit.

Likewise, fellow fifth-year senior Skylar Smith (Springfield, Mo.) will work the strong safety position for the third straight season. Smith was a second-team all-conference pick in 2009 and notched 94 total tackles with five pass break-ups to help anchor the defensive backfield. The success of the Miller-Smith tandem will be critical if the Bears are to improve on the 208 yards per game they allowed through the air last season.

On the corners, look for junior Jimmie Strong (Texarkana, Texas) to return to his post at the right corner where he started all 11 games a year ago. He accumulated 42 tackles last season and broke up four passes with one interception. Coming off a strong spring, Strong looks to be poised for a breakthrough campaign.

The left corner job appears to be wide open with redshirt freshman Howard Scarborough (Tulsa, Okla.) and third-year man Andre Anderson (So., Muskogee, Okla.) emerging as the preseason favorites.

The Bears should get plenty of help from their impressive crop of newcomers in the secondary, but can also count on significant contributions from junior Jarrett Wright (Grandview, Mo.) and Anthony Lee (So., Bonner Springs, Kan.), safeties who played in all 11 games last year. Lee was also the top tackler in the Maroon and White Game this spring and also tallied an interception in that contest. Corner Darius Blow (Jr., Grandview, Mo.) should also provide key depth at the corner spots.

Defensive Line The MSU defense returns to its three-man

MissouriStateBears.com Mi iSt t B

look on the line in 2010 with plenty of experience to lead the way.

Waylon Richardet (Sr., Perryville, Mo.), an All-MVFC Second Team defensive end will move from right end to left end this season and create havoc on the other side of the ball. In 2009, Richardet was twice named conference defensive player of the week and notched 43 tackles, including six for loss. He recorded 2.5 sacks, recovered two fumbles and had an interception.

Richardet’s move to left end was due in part to the opening at nose tackle created by the departure of 2009 senior Mike Daniels. The nose tackle spot will be filled by Mikel Ruder (Jr., Lawrence, Kan.) who had a breakout season a year ago as the left tackle starter in all 11 games.

Ruder was in on 46 tackles last season, tops among the Bears’ defensive linemen. He knocked down two passes, recorded three sacks and contributed four sacks.

The right end spot will likely go to Levi Moore (Sr., Mountain View, Mo.) with competition from fellow letterman Joe Day (So., O’Fallon, Mo.). Moore approaches the game with the heart of a lion and has a nose for the ball. The fifth-year senior started two games in 2007, and has battled his way back into the discussion as a starter with hard work. His leadership on special teams and as a reserve lineman a year ago has left a lasting mark as he pushes for a breakout season.

Day tied for fifth on the team in tackles for loss last season and looks to take his game to the next level in his third year with the program. He also had 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 2009.

Providing additional depth will be Tevan Ferguson (So., Nashville, Tenn.) who got one start at nose tackle in his Missouri State debut in 2009 and will support Ruder this season.

On the ends, Anthony Grady (RFr., Texarkana, Ark.), Curtis King (RFr., Memphis, Tenn.) and Chris Current (Jr., St. Louis, Mo.) grew up quickly this spring and seemed up to the challenge to give additional depth up front at key positions.

Special Teams The one constant on special teams is honorable mention All-MVFC punter Jordan Chiles (Jr., Hillsboro, Ill.). The two-year starter upped his average to 40.1 yards per attempt in 2009 and

Season Outlook finished as one of the top 25 punters in the nation. He enters his junior season with 17 career punts of 50 yards are more and 30 career kicks down inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.

Chiles is also a formidable kicker and will challenge for the starting job with the vacancy left behind by outgoing senior Matt Hottelman. Hottelman handled kickoffs the past four seasons as well as field goals and PATs the last two years. Chiles will have competition from Jason Bromley (Sr., Cassville, Mo.) who returns to the program after a year away from football. Bromley finished the spring 2-for-3 in field goals in three scrimmages, including a 42-yarder in the Maroon and White Game.

Incoming freshman Austin Witmer (Grand Island, Neb.) should also have the opportunity to win the kicking job after a successful prep career that culminated in a Nebraska Shrine Bowl appearance in June.

Another special teams question mark will be punt and kick return duties. Saffold was the team’s top kickoff returner in 2009, averaging 20.5 yards per return on 13 tries, while Dotson returned five kickoffs for a 16.8 average. Both men appear to be viable options this season. Dotson could also be the team’s first choice on punt return assignments, along with Reichert.

New long snapper Kaleb Mueller (Jr., Paola, Kan.) was a welcome addition this spring after transferring from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College, and Wooden should take over the holding duties on field goals and extra points.

The Schedule The Bears will open their 29th NCAA Division I campaign with a Thursday night home game against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 2. The Colonels are coming off a 5-6 season, but tied for second in the Ohio Valley Conference with a 5-3 league record that included a road win over OVC champion Eastern Illinois.

The Bears then embark on their annual game against a Football Bowl Subdivision program with Kansas State on Sept. 11.

The Wildcats of coach Bill Snyder return more than 40 lettermen from a squad that tied for second in the Big 12 North.

The other non-conference road opponent on this year’s schedule is Murray State on October 9, Missouri State’s fifth game of the season. The Ohio Valley Conference squad was 3-8 in 2009, including a 35-10 loss in Springfield.

MSU’s fifth-year head coach Terry Allen says he likes the early challenges on his 2010 slate and thinks they will help prepare the Bears for the difficult road ahead in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

ule will provide,” said Allen. “Eastern Kentucky is a great opponent to open the season with, and will tell us a lot of things about our squad early. The road games at Kansas State and Murray State will absolutely push us and prepare us for conference play. Of course, our ultimate goal is to be competitive in the Missouri Valley Football Conference and continue to climb the ladder in our league this season.”

After the game at Kansas State in week two, the Bears get a week off before beginning MVFC play at Illinois State on Sept.

25. The Redbirds should be one of the preseason front-runners for the conference title after winning four of their last five MVFC games to close out a breakthrough 6-5 campaign in 2009.

The Bears will then return to Plaster Field to take on Youngstown State on Oct. 2 for a Family Weekend contest. The Bears have won two in a row against the Penguins who will feature a new head coach in hometown product Eric Wolford.

Following the road game at Murray State on Oct. 9, Missouri State will wrap a two-game road series at Indiana State on Oct. 16. The much-improved Sycamores have dropped six of the last seven to the Bears, but split the last four head-to-head meetings in Terre Haute with two overtime games in that span.

After playing four of their first six contests on the road, the Bears will make it a true Homecoming on Oct. 23 when they host Western Illinois and then take on defending league champion Southern Illinois on Oct. 30. The Bears earned a dramatic come-from-behind win at WIU last season, while Missouri State’s 464 yards in total offense against Southern Illinois in the season finale was the most allowed by the Salukis all season.

The squad’s final two conference road games will be at 2009 playoff participant South Dakota State on Nov. 6 and at perennial league power Northern Iowa on Nov. 13. The two Valley foes finished second and third, respectively, in the conference a year ago and combined to win nine of their 11 home games.

Missouri State will close out the 2010 campaign on Nov. 20 against North Dakota State at Plaster Field. The Bears defeated the Bison in Fargo, 21-17, last season to hand NDSU just its second-ever loss in a Harvest Bowl contest and just its 19th home loss in a span of 18 seasons

Head Coach Terry Allen, 5th season

Terry Allen enters his fifth season at the helm of the Missouri State program with a solid nucleus of returning talent and high hopes for the season ahead.

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 season and dropped another contest by 10 points.

The team landed three players on the 2006 all-conference list and set the foundation for the program’s future.

Allen then took his charges to an exciting

6-5 campaign in 2007, the biggest improvement for a Missouri State team in 19 years. The Bears were 5-1 at home in year two and produced 36.3 points per game, MSU’s best scoring average ever for an 11-game season. MSU also scored 49.5 points a game for the team’s six home contests.

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 sophomore tight end Clay Harbor and freshman lineman David Arkin joined Nathan Stokes for league honors.

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

In 2008, the Bears continued to make strides under Allen’s leadership. Despite a 4-7 overall record, the substance of the team’s performance showed a 3-3 road mark, which matched

2010 Missouri State Bears Football

the school’s most road victories since 1996.

Likewise, the team’s 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 inventory of underclassmen. Harbor, a junior earned All-MVFC first team honors for the second straight year, while moving up to Second Team on the AP All-America list. Joining Harbor on the all-conference squad were sophomore guard Arkin and second-year quarterback Cody Kirby.

In 2009, the Bears notched their second winning campaign in three years under Allen, once again going 6-5 and 4-4 in the MVFC. Missouri State was 3-2 on the road, including first-ever wins at Youngstown State and North Dakota State to complement the squad’s first victory at Western Illinois since 2001.

Eight players were recognized by the MVFC as all-conference performers, including first-teamers Harbor, Arkin and Valley Newcomer of the Year Antoine Wilkinson (LB).

Harbor became Allen’s first Missouri State player drafted into the NFL when he was snagged in the fourth round of the 2010 Draft by the Eagles.

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

His Panther teams won or shared league titles seven straight seasons from 1990-96 and competed in the NCAA playoffs each of his last seven 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 in 1992 and 1996.

Allen’s UNI teams did not lose a home conference game 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 once each.

Starting in 1992, UNI was nationally ranked

MissouriStateBears.com

Coaches & Staff for 87 consecutive weeks.

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

Allen’s teams were 20-33 his five seasons as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks. Included in that tenure were wins over nationally-ranked Colorado, a win over Oklahoma, and three victories over arch-rival Missouri. He also guided Kansas to its 500th all-time win in 1997 and opened his final season at KU 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 who was Allen’s prep track coach in Iowa City.

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

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

Allen was a standout prep quarterback at West High School in Iowa City and would start three seasons as UNI’s top QB. In his 16-year head coaching career, he has mentored 18 AP All-America players and 186 all-conference selections.

Allen’s father, Robert, was a football player and national champion swimmer at 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.

Coaches & Staff

D.J. Vokolek Defensive Coordinator, 5th season

D.J. Vokolek is the Bears’ fifth-year defensive coordinator, and coaches the Missouri State inside linebackers. He has also been the Bears’ assistant head coach since he joined the staff of head coach Terry Allen in 2006.

Vokolek came to Missouri State after holding the same three positions on the staff of 2005 Conference co-champion and NCAA FCS finalist Northern Iowa.

The Bears changed to a 3-4 look in 2009, under Vokolek’s leadership, and improved by nearly 120 yards per game in total defense. The upgrade in defensive scheme

and depth should be evident again this season with nine returning starters and 21 lettermen from the 2009 squad.

In his first four seasons at Missouri State, Vokolek has boasted six MVFC All-Newcomer selections, including 2009 Valley Newcomer of the Year Antoine Wilkinson, and 13 allconference picks on the defensive side of the ball.

Vokolek moved to UNI on the staff of Panthers’ head coach Mark Farley in 2003 as assistant head coach and linebackers coach. He added the position of co-defensive coordinator in 2004 and assumed all the defensive duties for the 2005 campaign.

Vokolek went to UNI after having spent six years as an assistant coach at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. From 1997 to 1999 he was linebacker coach and academic coordinator for the Mavericks and coached linebackers as defensive coordinator at UNO from 2000 to 2002.

A native of Lincoln, Neb., Vokolek was a four-year gridder at Nebraska-Kearney, serving as team captain three seasons and winning NCAA Division II All-Nebraska honors three times as a linebacker. He graduated from UNK in 1992 with a degree in biology and was a graduate assistant for three seasons at Nebraska-Omaha, earning his master’s degree in physical education at UNO in 1996. He coached the defensive secondary at Wayne State for one season before returning to UNO for a six-year stint there.

Vokolek has administrative responsibilities on the football staff including facilities and grounds, training room and medical liaison, marketing and promotion, and a number of other assignments to assist coach Allen.

The club’s primary recruiter for the state of Oklahoma, Vokolek and his wife, Pam, have two children, Travis and Leah.

Rob Christophel Offensive Coordinator, 4th season

Rob Christophel moves into his fourth season on the Missouri State staff as the Bears’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Upon arrival at MSU, Christophel installed a no-huddle attack which produced the highest scoring average in school history for an 11-game season in 2007 as the Bears averaged 36.3 points. The Bears averaged 49.5 points a game at Plaster Field that season, going 5-1 in home games.

In 2008, the Bears’ offense produced 312.9 yards per game, an All-American tight end in Clay Harbor, and four All-

Christophel held a similar position from 1992 to 1997 at Idaho State University of the Big Sky Conference.

He was wide receivers coach three years and quarterback/receiver coach for five years in a tenure at Murray State University from 1984 to 1992.

A native of Reading, Ohio, Christophel is a 1984 graduate of Austin Peay State.

Rob Bolks Asst. Coach/Defensive Backs, 5th season

Rob Bolks begins his fifth season at Missouri State this fall after joining the staff assembled in 2006 when Terry Allen took over the Bears’ program. Like defensive coordinator D.J. Vokolek, Bolks resumed a lengthy acquaintance with Allen when the two came to MSU together.

Bolks will again supervise the Bears’ defensive secondary after having held a similar position at UNI as the Panthers shared the league crown and advanced to the NCAA FCS championship in 2005.

Bolks will feature three returning starters in the secondary in 2009, including two-

time All-Missouri Valley Football Conference safety Skylar Smith, 2008 MVFC All-Newcomer free safety Derek Miller, and corner Jimmie Strong.

Bolks is a native of Hull, Iowa, and played in two bowl games as a defensive back during his career at Iowa State.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from ISU in 1974 in physical education and spent two

years as a graduate assistant.

He was a high school head coach for three seasons at Allamakee High in Waukon, Iowa, and then started a five-year run at three Kansas junior colleges, including service in 1980 as an assistant at Highland Community College, in 1981 and 1982 as an assistant at Independence Community College, and from 1983 to 1984 at Butler County Community College.

Bolks moved to UNI in 1985 to coach the Panther defensive backfield and serve as recruiting coordinator for four seasons, then spent one year at Murray State, one year at Vanderbilt, two seasons at Western Illinois and three years at Idaho State. He was a high school coach in Cedar Falls during the 1997 season and then moved to Allen’s staff at Kansas, serving as director of football operations from 1998-2001. Bolks became defensive coordinator at UNI in 2002 and took over as recruiting coordinator in 2003 while coaching the Panther secondary all four years.

Bolks is MSU’s recruiting coordinator, including setting up all campus visits. He manages the football operations budget and oversees team travel.

Coaches & Staff

Sean Coughlin Asst. Coach/Offensive Line, 5th season

Sean Coughlin begins his fifth season at Missouri State after joining the Bears’ staff in 2006 as one of eight new assistants when head coach Terry Allen took over the Bears’ program.

Coughlin came with Allen to Missouri State from Iowa State. He worked with the Bears’ tight ends and fullbacks his first two years and took over offensive line coaching duties in 2008.

After working four new starters into the offensive line alignment in 2007, Coughlin returned four starters to the trenches in 2008, which helped the Bears boast one

of the league’s top pass protection units two years ago.

Last year, newcomers Erik Dahl and Bob Shapel helped mold a solid front line that included 2009 MVFC first-teamer David Arkin, along with Jake Duron and senior Andy Watts. Over the past three seasons alone, Coughlin has boasted eight MVFC Offensive Linemen of the Week, including Arkin on four occasions.

In 2010, Coughlin’s line will include four returning starters -- Arkin, Dahl, Shapel and Duron -- in addition to Travis Simmons who got the starting call three times last season.

Coughlin is a 2001 Drake University graduate and has a background as a standout offensive lineman from his playing days.

A three-time all-Pioneer Conference offensive guard at Drake, he was a first-team all-conference choice from 1998-2000 at Drake and earned All-America honors from Football Gazette his final two seasons. He was the Drake team captain in 2000.

Coughlin coached three seasons at his alma mater and worked the 2001 and 2002 seasons as assistant offensive line coach and tight ends coach for the Bulldogs. He tutored the Drake offensive line in 2003, coaching two all-conference first team linemen. He joined the Iowa State offensive staff in 2004 and spent two seasons there alongside Allen.

Bob Montgomery Asst. Coach/Tight Ends, 3rd season

Former Iowa State standout Bob Montgomery begins his third season with the Bears after joining the program in the spring of 2008 as the program’s tight end coach. He also assists with special teams assignments for the coaching staff.

Montgomery’s coaching tenure with MSU has included mentoring the best tight end in

Division I FCS football in Clay Harbor. Harbor was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft after sweeping FCS All-America honors his senior season and settin gthe school record for career receptions (150) and consecutive games with a pass reception (33). Harbor went on to earn First-Team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors for the third straight season in 2009 and was one

of five Bears named to the MVFC All-Silver Anniversary Team squad.

This season, Montgomery will look to three-year letterman Wes Miller and sophomore letterman Garett Wade to provide similar depth, work ethic and dependability at the tight end position this season.

Transfer Matt Thayer and returning squad member Justin Purvis will also push for time this fall, giving the 2010 group more of a tight-end-by-committee feel.

Montgomery spent three seasons as offensive line coach and running game coordinator at Bryant (R.I.) University. He was associate head coach in 2007. Over three years, Bryant averaged 390.3 yards a game and 200 yards per game on the ground. The Bulldogs won Northeast 10 Conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2006 and 2007. Montgomery also was strength and conditioning coordinator.

A 2004 Iowa State graduate in exercise sports medicine, he was on the ISU Dean’s List six times and was a four-year letterman and three-year offensive line starter for the Cyclones. Montgomery was a Big 12 Conference all-academic pick four times and an all-Big 12 pick as a junior and senior.

He received the ISU Scholar-Athlete Award four times and was the football team captain as a senior.

Montgomery was also an assistant coach at Ames (Iowa) High in 2004-05.

Montgomery’s wife, Kirby, is a native of Lincoln, Neb., and an Iowa State graduate.

The couple welcomed their first child, Kinsley, to the Bears family on May 18, 2009.

No stranger to Terry Allen and his staff, Mike Chandler joined the Missouri State staff this fall as wide receivers coach.

Chandler is a 2000 graduate of the University of Kansas where he earned a degree in economics. While at KU, he earned team MVP and team captain honors in 1999, while earning Big 12 All-Academic

Team honors. He played his last three seasons with the Jayhawks for Terry Allen, while current MSU assistant Rob Bolks was director of football operations.

From Kansas, Chandler went to the Charleston (S.C.) Swampfoxes of the Arena Football League where he played from 2000-03 and earned team captain honors in his first season. He was a standout receiver and defensive back for the Swampfoxes during his

three seasons with the club.

He also enjoyed professional stints with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League, Buffalo (N.Y.) Destroyers of the Arena Football, and a brief stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001.

After pro football, he went into private business before beginning his coaching tenure in April 2005 at Colleton County (S.C.) High School as wide receivers coach and assistant offensive coordinator. He spent nearly two seasons in that capacity before advancing to the college ranks in January 2007 with an appointment at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College.

He helped guide FSCC to the No. 1 nationally-ranked offense and No. 2 scoring offense, while coaching quarterbacks and running backs. He also served as strength and conditioning coordinator and video supervisor at Fort Scott before coming to Missouri State in August, 2009 as a part-time assistant.

Chandler earned full-time coaching status at Missouri State in the spring of 2010 after a superior effort during the 2009 season that saw his receivers earn two league awards, including All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honorable mention honors by Jared Emery and MVFC All-Newcomer status by freshman Cadarrius Dotson.

For the 2010 season, he will return 50-percent of the club’s total receptions, including Dotson and fellow starter Jermaine Saffold, along with part-time starters Justin Fuselier and Adrian Williams.

Chandler is single and currently resides in Springfield.

Administration Missouri State Vice Presidents & Faculty Representative

President First Year at Missouri State

Dr. James E. Cofer, Sr., began his first year as president of Missouri State University on August 2. He was introduced to the campus and Springfield community as the school’s 10th president on May 14, following a nationwide search.

Cofer came to Springfield after serving as president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe since 2002. He replaced Dr. Michael T. Nietzel, who had been MSU’s president since July 2005.

Additionally, Cofer will be a tenured professor in MSU’s College of Business Administration.

“I am deeply honored by the Board’s decision and its confidence in me,” Cofer said on May 14. “I have been a fan of Missouri State University for many years and I look forward to continuing the good work that has been done here. Working with the faculty, staff, students, community, governmental leaders and all other constituent groups, I think we can create and achieve a shared vision for the university.”

Cofer earned a reputation as the leader of an “extraordinary renaissance” at the University of Louisiana at Monroe over his eight years as president. When he and his wife, Deborah, arrived at ULM in 2002, they immediately began the “Reclaiming Our Campus” campaign, which involved more than 2,000 students, faculty, staff, community leaders, and area citizens who cleaned, planted flowers and repainted the campus.

Shortly thereafter, Cofer developed an ambitious visionary plan that included more than $80 million in new construction and renovations on campus. Students, whose academic achievements continue to proliferate every year, now enjoy the newest, up-to-date residence halls, state-of-the-art “smart classrooms,” a completely-renovated Student Union Building and multiple campus security improvements.

In 2007, students rated ULM higher than ever before – breaking a record for student satisfaction at the institution and surpassing student satisfaction at the national level.

With the help of engaged faculty, ULM also patterned its mathematics and English course redesigns after the National Center for Academic Transformation’s Roadmap to Redesign philosophy, utilizing sound methodology, student-centered learning, clear assessment criteria and effective technology incorporation in 2007.

To further encourage student success, ULM implemented living-learning communities, peer and faculty mentoring programs, extensive undergraduate research initiatives and advanced technological modalities. Cognizant of adult learners and today’s busy student, Cofer advocated “anytime, anywhere, anyplace instruction,” resulting in additional online courses and degree programs at ULM. Cofer earned his Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in December 1998. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1971 and his MBA in 1975, both from Mississippi State University.

Prior to becoming president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe in March of 2002, Cofer served as vice president for finance and administration for the University of Missouri System from 1998-2002. Prior to that, he was vice president for finance and administration for the University of Arkansas System from 1995-98; Eisenhower Fellow in Budapest, Hungary, in 1995-96; and vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer of the Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia from 1991-95.

He also has held positions in finance and administration with the Mississippi Power and Light Company; Murray State University; the State of Mississippi; and the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning.

Cofer and his wife, Deborah, have two children and two grandchildren.

Director of Athletics Second Year at Missouri State

Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005.

Moats began his duties at Missouri State in July 2009, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator.

In a busy first year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developoing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. The agreement will result in the outsourcing of the departments’ marketing and corporate sales operations while maximizing revenue potential for MSU Athletics. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new television contract this past summer.

Prior to his arrival in Springfield, Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville.

In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups.

Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years at Marquette University, where oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM.

The fund’s name stands for “Building Excellence in Athletics through Recruiting and Scholarships,” and its impact on Missouri State Athletics has grown substantially throughout the 29 years of its existence. The 2009-10 drive netted over $2.75 million, marking the 22nd year in a row in which total contributions to The Bears Fund have gone beyond $1 million.

The fund is administered by the Missouri State University Foundation with additional input from coaching and administrative staff members in intercollegiate athletics.

Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations.

Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting.

Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts.

An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular latesummer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in August for each of the past 23 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment.

Bears Continue Climbing MVFC Ladder Non-Conference Non Conferrenc Conference ce Slate Sla ate Sets the th he Pace Pace The Bears opened the 2009 campaign with three straight nonconference games, and it didn’t take long for the team to find its identity.

A 48-10 setback against Arkansas in the season opener in Little Rock demonstrated the Bears had plenty to work on over the next 10 games, but did show glimpses of good things in store.

With a 2-2 ledger, the Bears took to the road for the first time since the season opener with a trip to Youngstown State. Even though MSU had defeated the Penguins in Springfield in 2008, the Bears had never won in Youngstown and knew they had their hands full with a noisy Stambaugh Stadium crowd of nearly 17,000.

An early 52-yard touchdown strike from Kirby to Harbor on the Bears’ opening sequence was the catalyst for ag good night as Allen’s squad scored the gam game’s first 10 points.

After th the teams exchanged second-quarter intercept interceptions, the Bears took a 10-7 lead into the half before befo collecting the game-clinching score with a ke key defensive stand in the third quarter.

The Bears forced SDSU into a three-and-out punt on its next sequence, giving the ball back at the MSU 18 and 3:41 on the clock.

Kirby then went to work, first connecting with Dotson for 13 yards on fourth down to the MSU 24, then going deep to 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 SDSU six. A 19-yard strike to Saffold to the SDSU 31 set up a nine-yard completion to Harbor at the 22, followed by a sensational 16-yard catch by Emery to the six.

With time running down, Kirby rolled right and fired the potential game-tying pass into the end zone where General Parnell intercepted his second Kirby pass of the afternoon. He returned the pick to the MSU 37 before his Jackrabbits ran out the clock to secure a 24-17 win.

Kirby broke a Bears’ record with 29 completions as 10 different players caught passes. He finished 29-for-46 for 288 yards -- all career highs at the time -- but was picked off three times. Saffold surpassed the 100-yard mark with four catches for 101, while Emery caught seven balls for 67 yards, and Harbor had six catches for 53 yards.

Rocking the Road With an even 3-3 ledger, the Bears took the road for arguably their most critical stretch of the 2009 campaign. Away contests at Western Illinois and North Dakota State had Allen and his staff talking opportunities with the team.

The first step was to try to upend Western Illinois in Macomb, something the team had not done since 2001. Despite falling behind 16-0 midway through the second quarter, the Bears clawed their way back into the game before pulling off a thrilling 17-16 win. A 37-yard field goal by Hottelman with 36 seconds to play sealed the victory, earning Hottelman Missouri Valley Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

The game-winning field goal seemed improbable just a few minutes earlier. The Bears broke up the shutout just before halftime with a 33-yard strike from Kirby to Saffold to make it 16-7 at the intermission.

MSU stepped up the defensive pressure ssure in the second half, forcing four Leatherneck rneck punts, ending two series on downs, and nd allowing WIU to run just 26 total plays on itss final six drives.

The defense once again gave the offense a chance, and with 9:21 to go,, the Bears mounted a 93-yard, 12-play mega drive that was capped by a two-yard run by Douglas and make it a 16-14 contest. The touchdown drive left 5:42 on the clock, and it looked as if WIU would take advantage of its chance to put the game out of reach.

and-six, but the play was called back on n an an ineligible receiver downfield penalty, and nd the he Bears forced the Leathernecks to punt two t o tw plays later.

The momentum of the victory in Macomb carried the Bears to Fargo to play North Dakota State in the Bears’ first-ever trip to the FargoDome.

MSU played opportunistic football throughout the game 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. The victory gave MSU four straight conference road victories, dating back to 2008 and handed the Bison just their second Harvest Bowl loss in 35 tries.

In the final 12 minutes, the Bears recovered an NDSU fumble 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 45 on the final North Dakota State possession of the game to get the ball back with 1:25 to go and the Bison out of timeouts.

The second-half defensive heroics overshadowed a seasonbest running effort by the Bears who tallied 220 rushing yards on 52 carries, including a 105-yard effort by Cooper-Falls. The Springfield native carried 16 times in the team’s first 100-yard effort of the year, including the game-clinching touchdown on a 57-yard run just two plays into the third quarter that gave MSU a 21-14 lead.

The Bears never trailed in the game and got on the board first after Luther Roweton blocked a Bison punt on the home team’s opening drive, setting up the Bears at the NDSU 17. Three plays later, Kirby rolled into the end zone.

Kirby also hooked up with Harbor on a 10-yard touchdown pass to wrap a 14-play, 72-yard drive late in the second quarter and break a 7-7 tie at the time.

With the running success, Kirby was just 9-for-12 through the air for 104 yards, including three completions to Harbor. Smith had 11 tackles to lead the stellar defensive effort, while Wilkinson stopped 10 Bison on the evening.

Playoff Talk Creates Buzz, Heartbreak After the pair of impressive road wins, the Bears returned home October 31 for their annual homecoming game and a shot at resurging Illinois State.

The possibility of a win over Illinois State and an upcoming visit from last-place Indiana State in Week 10 had fans of the 5-3 Bears talking about playoff possibilities for the first time in several seasons. Home wins over the Redbirds and Sycamores would leave the Bears at 7-3

2009 Season Review with one week to go, and it appeared football fever had returned to the Ozarks.

The Redbirds, however, had other plans, and used a physical ground attack to grind out a 24-14 win over MSU, paying the Bears back for spoiling their homecoming in Normal a year earlier.

With the game tied 14-14 late in the second quarter, Illinois State converted a 38-yard touchdown pass from freshman QB Matt Brown to Brandon Venson as time expired to take a sevenpoint lead into the locker room.

The Bears never fully recovered from the blow, and despite several key defensive stands by MSU, the Redbirds, who won five of their last six in league play, held on for the win.

The Bears rallied early in the fourth quarter with a drive to the Illinois State 32, but Hottelman missed a 49-yard field goal with the wind at his back, and the Redbirds responded with an 11-play, 43-yard scoring drive to the MSU 25 which set up a 42-yard field goal by Zach Kutch to give ISU a double-figure lead and the win.

Kirby was 19-for-32 for 248 yards in the game, including a 102yard receiving day by Harbor on eight receptions.

Wilkinson also stood out with 20 total tackles on the defensive side, in addition to a pass break-up and tackle for loss, to lead four MSU defenders in double figures in tackles.

Impressive Finish The setback against Illinois State did not dampen the Bears’ hopes of a solid season. A week later, MSU finished out the home slate with a 31-7 win over a young Indiana State squad.

The 349-yard outburst by the Bears capped a 3-3 home season as Chris Douglas scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of 15 and 43 yards in a 72-yard afternoon, while Cooper-Falls tallied 59 yards on 14 carries.

Kirby completed 73-percent of his passes on a 16-for-22 effort for 158 yards and rushed for a touchdown. Saffold and Dotson each had five pass receptions, while Emery scored a secondquarter touchdown in the impressive win.

Wilkinson once again led the Bears’ defense with 13 total tackles, pushing him over 100 total tackles for the season and making him the first MSU player to reach that milestone since Darryl Johnson in 2004. Wilkinson kinson also had an interception in the game, while Mikel Ruder contribntributed 2.5 sacks and a career-high -high 10 tackles.

The 6-4 Bears then headed ed east for their season finale against league front runner and No. 1 ranked Southern Illinois in the he Salukis’ final regular-season game at historic McAndrew Stadium. m.

Missouri State outgained the n, top-ranked team in the nation, 464-358, and gave up just 13 3 first downs, but the Bears’ season-high on-high five turnovers was the difference ence in a 44-24 loss. ha The game started out with promising opening drive as Douglas scored his second long-yardyardage touchdown in as many weeks, s’ fourth going 65 yards on the Bears’ play of the game to cap an 83-yard opening drive. He finished with a team-high 106 yards on 17 carries

2009 Season Review Game

Sept. 5, 2009, Little Rock, Ark.

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.

Sept. 12, 2009, Plaster Field, Springfield

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.

2009 Season Review Game

Sept. 19, 2009, Plaster Field, Springfield

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 just over two minutes later. This time it was Kirby connecting with Jermaine Saffold for a 26-yard TD 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 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 in 2009, 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 a field goal opportunity with seven seconds to go. Cody Kirby‘s pass into the corner of the end zone as time expired 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 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 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 seventh-longest kick in school history.

Oct. 10, 2009, Plaster Field, Springfield

(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.

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 SDSU ran out the clock. It was Parnell’s second pick 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 in 2009 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.

2009 Season Review Game

7

Oct. 17, 2009, Stambaugh Stadium, Youngstown

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.

He finished 18-of-32, including eight catches by Harbor for a career-high 171 yards.

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. On its next series, WIU had a chance to put the game away as Wil Lunt completed what appeared to be a 42-yard touchdown pass 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 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.

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.

2009 Season Review Game

Oct. 31, 2009, Plaster Field, Springfield

Illinois State Redbirds .................................... 24 Missouri State Bears.........................................14

Visiting Illinois State held Missouri State scoreless in the second half and added a fourth-quarter field goal to secure a 24-14 win over the Bears in league play.

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 posted his 13th career 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.

Indiana State Sycamores ..................................7 Missouri State Bears.........................................31

Missouri State was able to convert three Indiana State turnovers into 14 points and accumulated five sacks to turn back the visiting Sycamores, 31-7.

The win marked the fourth time this season that MSU has responded from a loss with a victory the following week.

The Bears got on the board first, driving 71 yards on 15 plays on their first possession of the game that set up a 27-yard field goal by senior Matt Hottelman to jump out to a 3-0 advantage. MSU passed nine times on its opening drive, accounting for nearly 40 percent of its pass attempts for the game.

Midway through the second quarter, the Bears struck again when Cedric Alvis forced the ball loose from ISU running back Antoine Brown at the Sycamores’ 30-yard line, and Michael Keck recovered. Five plays later, Cody Kirby hit Jared Emery for an 11-yard touchdown strike to make it 10-0. It was Emery’s fourth career TD reception, and Kirby’s 37th career touchdown pass, a Missouri State record.

In the second half, Kirby led the Bears to paydirt again on their opening drive of the third quarter. MSU took advantage of a short field after a sky kick by ISU on the opening kickoff of the half set up coach Terry Allen’s team at the Missouri State 48.

Seven plays later, Kirby carried it into the end zone himself to put the Bears up 17-0.

The Bears put the game out of reach moments later when the Sycamores’ first play of the half was intercepted by Cedric Alvis at the ISU 43 and returned to the 16. Six plays later, Chris Douglas scored on a rush from 15 yards out to make it 24-0.

After ISU reserve quarterback Chris Stutzriem capped a nine-play, 63-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown carry at the 5:27 mark of the fourth quarter to break up the shutout, Douglas scored again for the Bears on the very next play. The MSU sophomore tailback scampered 43 yards for the longest career rush to lead 31-7.

Douglas became the first Bear this season to score multiple touchdowns in a game, putting an exclamation point on a career day with a game-high 72 yards. The Bears matched a season rushing best with 4.2 yards per carry as its backfield by committee collected 164 yards on 39 carries with three touchdowns.

Kirby finished 16-for-22 for 158 yards and a touchdown as he improved to 8-8 at home as a starter. MSU also evened its all-time record at 438-438-39.

Indiana State’s three quarterbacks combined for 192 yards, including 82 by starter Ryan Roberts, while Brown’s 16 carries for 47 yards led the Sycamores.

Also of note for Missouri State, Antoine Wilkinson finished with a game-high 13 tackles which put him over 100 tackles on the season, making him the first Bear to reach that milestone since Darryl Johnson in 2004. Mikel Ruder also had a career game with 10 tackles, including 2.5 sacks.

2009 Season Review Game

11

Nov. 14, 2009, McAndrew Stadium, Carbondale, Ill.

Missouri State Bears........................................ 24 (1) Southern Illinois Salukis ......................... 44

Missouri State outgained No. 1 Southern Illinois 464-358 and allowed just 13 first downs, but a season-high five turnovers by the Bears was the difference in a 44-24 loss in the Salukis’ final regular-season game at McAndrew Stadium.

The Bears concluded their season 6-5 overall -- tying the program’s high water mark for for victories this decade -- and 4-4 in the league.

Coach Terry Allen’s team trailed 34-7 at halftime as four first-half miscues by the Bears led directly to 14 Saluki points.

However, in the second half, the Bears scored on three of their five possessions, including an impressive five-play, 63-yard drive manufactured by senior reserve Tyler Horner in his final game. He connected with fellow senior Clay Harbor on the Bears’ final play of the season for an eight-yard touchdown pass.

Harbor finished with a career-high 11 catches for 111 yards, giving him four 100-yard games this season and six for his career, both of which tied MSU records.

Harbor finished the season with 59 receptions for 729 yards and completed his run with the Bears as the squad’s all-time receptions leader (150).

In the third quarter, Matt Hottelman connected on a 40-yard field goal to make it 41-10. In the fourth, another Bears’ senior, Miguel Warren, capped an 8-play, 80-yard drive with 6:05 remaining with a seven-yard touchdown run to make it 41-17.

The game started with a promising opening drive as Chris Douglas went 65 yards on the Bears’ fourth play of the game to cap an 83-yard touchdown drive. He finished with a team-high 106 yards on 17 carries.

However, the Salukis countered with a big third-and-eight conversion from their own 26 with a 56-yard completion from Paul McIntosh to Joe Allaria. Three plays later Deji Karim carried it into the end zone to tie the game, 7-7, with 11:30 left in the first.

Turnovers then bit the Bears three times later in the quarter. After the Salukis tied the game, MSU drove to the SIU 11 when Douglas fumbled a pitch from Cody Kirby, and SIU recovered at its own 16 to kill a 74-yard drive into the red zone.

After forcing SIU to punt four plays later, Cedric Alvis broke the Bears’ longest punt return of the season, racing 22 yards before SIU jarred the ball loose at the Bears’ 39 and recovering it there. A three-yard touchdown run by Karim followed five plays later made it 14-7. On the ensuing series, Kirby was intercepted by Brandon Williams and returned 34 yards for a Salukis touchdown to make it 21-7. SIU soon made it 27-7, converting a fourth-and-three at the MSU 27 with a circus-like touchdown pass

by McIntosh, who was under heavy pressure.

Spring April 24, 2010, Plaster Field, Springfield Maroon (defense) ................................................. 2 Game White (offense) ......................................................9 If there were any questions about the talent of Missouri State’s crop of young football players, they were answered in the Bears’ annual Maroon and White Scrimmage at Plaster Field.

The low-scoring scrimmage was threatened by mid-day rain, but after starting a few minutes later than scheduled, proved to be an exciting affair. Junior running back Chris Douglas carried 17 times for a game-high 63 yards to set the pace in the backfield. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Wooden stole the show as a multi-positional threat, leading the second offensive unit and pulling in four receptions for 84 yards as a wideout with the first unit.

On the defensive side, sophomores Anthony Lee and Ryan Callender shared game-high honors with six stops apiece. Lee also came up with a big interception to kill a drive by the offense at the two-yard line. Colby Broadnax, Byron Hightower and Rodney Kelly also contributed five tackles.

A 50-yard pass from Cody Kirby to Wooden in the first half was the longest play of the day as Wooden fought through a near deflection to come down with a juggling catch on the near sideline. Wooden’s athleticism was evident throughout the contest as he also carried six times for 41 yards with a team-long 19 yard carry. For the afternoon, the High Springs, Fla., native accumulated 125 all-purpose yards and was 3-for-6 for 17 yards at quarterback.

Kirby finished 13-for-18 for 183 yards and a touchdown -- a six-yard completion to Stephen Johnston to end the first half and the only touchdown of the game.

The offense also scored on a 27-yard field goal by Jordan Chiles in the first quarter.

Also helping the receiving corps were Jermaine Saffold with four catches for 48 yards, Adrian Williams (3-37), and Johnston (3-20).

The defensive squad scored a safety late in the second quarter and finished with a pair of sacks, five pass break-ups, seven tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and Lee’s interception.

2009 Season Review

Missouri State Pro Day

The 2010 NFL Scouting Combine was held Feb. 24 to March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Described as a job fair for prospective new NFL players, the event puts players through a series of drills, tests and interviews with more than 600 NFL personnel including head coaches, general managers and scouts.

Clay Harbor of Missouri State ranked among the top five tight ends in every event in which he tested, including the bench press. His 30 reps on the 225-pound bench press was the most by any tight end at the combine since 2007.

A total of 12 NFL teams were represented at Missouri State’s first Pro Day on Friday, March 19, 2010. The event saw a total of six players, including three from Missouri State, go through the paces at Plaster Field. The most notable performance came from Missouri State’s Clay Harbor who ran the 40 in 4.58 to improve upon his NFL Combine time in that event. He also ran a 4.36 in the short shuttle and a 7.12 in the three-cone drill.

Missouri Valley Football Conference

Welcome to Valley Football The past four 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, a quality nationally competitive product has been a constant for the league, which celebrated its Silver Anniversary in 2009.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 26th 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 25 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 26th season in 2010.

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 2009 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as Southern Illinois and South Dakota State represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 15th-straight season in which at least two teams have participated in post-season play. For three-straight weeks to close out the regular season, Southern Illinois enjoyed the No. 1 national ranking, while RB Deji Karim of Southern Illinois and DE Danny Batten of South Dakota State were finalists in

the Walter Payton Award and Buck Buchanan voting, finishing third, respectively.

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 13 years, the league has two national championships, and eight other semifinal trips. The league’s 36-27 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.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past.

During the decade of the 1990’s, current 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, six teams in the conference had winning records, marking the first time that’s ever happened in the 25-year history of the league. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better than .500 records in the same season 16 times now, including the past 12 seasons.

In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed the crowned jewel for the conference, as the league had one of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s first national championship, the Penguins finished the year ranked No. 1, marking the first time a league member has held that spot in a season-ending 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 also 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 Western Illinois (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 Western Kentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1 ranking in the top-25 polls for five weeks.

Missouri Valley Football Conference In 2006, Youngstown State won its second-straight 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 16-team 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.

In 2008, 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 conference.

In June of 1986, Indiana State became the seventh member of the conference.

MissouriStateBears.com

In the 25 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 10 FCS conferences that receive automatic bids to the NCAA FCS Championship. The conference has had an automatic bid since 1986, as the FCS Football Committee waived the league’s two-year 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 University (2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985), South Dakota State University (2008), Southern Illinois University (1985), Western Illinois University (1985), and Youngstown State University (1997).

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 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.

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.

Plaster Field Records

Statistical Notes 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 69 years old in 2010, but which has undergone numerous renovations and improvements to keep it in top-notch shape.

Recent additions have included a brand new Musco lighting system, which was installed in early August, 2010, and the Bancorp South video scoreboard, which was added over the summer of 2008.

The multi-million dollar scoreboard 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.

The ground level includes 12 racquetball and handball courts as well as recreational locker rooms and offices. On the second level, behind the skyboxes, one end of the facility includes a large student exercise area with extensive workout equipment. The other end contains the Plaster Strength Center, a 7,200-square foot intercollegiate athletics weight room. An elevator at the west entrance connects all three levels.

The final renovation followed three preliminary additions. The first artificial surface was added in 1987, and was replaced in 2000 and 2006. The turf was followed in 1988 by an eight-lane, 400-meter all-weather running track, paid for from student fee money at a cost of $272,000. The east bleachers were moved back and the north and south walls of the stadium were relocated to accommodate the enlarged track. The north end was reworked, and the resulting area can accommodate championship football, track and 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 known as SMS Stadium from the time it opened in 1941 until 1970, and was named Briggs Stadium from 1970 until it was renamed Plaster Field in 1991.

Arthur Briggs The Missouri State football facility was known as Briggs Stadium from 1970 until 1991 in honor of MSU athletics pioneer Arthur W. Briggs. When the Missouri State Board of Governors renamed the stadium Plaster Field in 1991, the Board voted to perpetuate the memory of Briggs by changing the name of Belmont Street, just west of the stadium, to Briggs Street; by installing a bust of Briggs at the stadium entrance; by establishing an endowed scholarship fund in his name; and by establishing the Arthur Briggs Award, to be given annually to the top scholar-athlete on the Bears’ football team.

The 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 2010 campaign is only the Bears’ 68th season 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 195-145-12 record for 342 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

Clay Harbor Philadelphia Eagles

Missouri State’s history of producing professional football talent dates back to 1945 and extends to today with Clay Harbor being picked in the fourth round by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Brad St. Louis played 10 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000-09. 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 season prior to being drafted by the Bengals. He operated as the Bengals’ regular deep snapper seven seasons with additional work at tight end.

Jason Whittle played 11 NFL seasons from 1998-2008. He signed a free agent contract in the 2003 off-season with the then-Super Bowl champ Tampa Bay Buccaneers after five years with the New York Giants. He returned to the Giants in 2004 and moved to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2006 campaign before joining the Bills in 2007. A standout lineman at MSU from 1994-97, Whittle signed a free agent contract with the Giants in 1998. He became the first MSU Bear to appear in the NFL title game when he saw action in the 2001 Super Bowl with the Giants.

The MSU alumnus with the longest and most successful professional tenure was defensive back Adrion Smith of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. He completed 12 seasons in the CFL in 2005, spending his last 10 seasons in Toronto. He led the Argonauts with eight interceptions in 2005, moving his career total to a team record 51. He helped the Argonauts to CFL Grey Cup Championships in 1997 and 2004.
