RB - Chris DOUGLAS

Bears look to raise bar, top expectations in 2011 With arguably one of the best offensive backfields in the Division I FCS ranks and an impressive group of skills players in the fold, the Missouri State Bears enter the 2011 season knowing what their strengths are.

The senior duo of Chris Douglas and Stephen Johnston combined for 1,803 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns and seven 100-yard games in 2010. Mobile quarterback Trevor Wooden, who started at receiver a year ago, will also be a threat to cover ground in a hurry.

Likewise seven of the club’s top eight pass receivers return this fall with All-MVFC standout Jermaine Saffold

snagging 53 passes for 869 yards last season. Fellow starters Cadarrius Dotson and Wooden combined for 59 more catches, while five lettermen in all return at the wideout positions.

The Bears, however, lost 13 starters from a team that tied for third place in the MVFC, including seven on defense and four on the offensive line.

With expectations high and something to prove, will the 2011 squad’s cast of 33 returning lettermen and 55 squadmen step up to keep MSU competitive?

2011 Football Guide WHAT THEY’RE SAYING Head coach Terry Allen takes an expectantlyoptimistic view of the season ahead. And despite a couple of obvious question marks, he says Bears’ fans will have a lot to cheer about this fall.

“We have question marks at quarterback and offensive line, but we have some big-time skills players,” Allen said. “On defense, we will be fine.

We are losing some quality players at linebacker, but I like our guys up front. Our secondary will be fine, and even though we lost two senior safeties, we’ll be very athletic in the secondary.”

Offensive coordinator Rob Christophel echoed Allen’s thoughts on his side of the ball.

“I’m terribly excited about the skill positions,” Christophel said. “If they perform to their ability, we could be very good offensively. Quarterback is going to be the key. If Trevor Wooden plays well, we will be fine.”

Defensive coordinator and associate head coach D.J. Vokolek has just four starters back, but says his unit is up to the task.

“As a whole, we have a lot of positions without a great deal of experience,” Vokolek explained. “But, we can certainly improve in a lot of areas from last year. Even though we have young guys who will have to play very quickly, this year’s group is very enthusiastic and athletic. From a coach’s perspective, that’s a great place to start.”

QUARTERBACK With the graduation of the top passer in school history, Cody Kirby, the Bears will begin a new era at QB this fall.

The heir apparent is sophomore Trevor Wooden who spent his redshirt year in 2009 learning the MSU system and then earned a starting role at wide receiver last fall while waiting in the wings. He finished third on the squad in pass receptions (21) in 2010, but his success at wideout limited his reps as backup quarterback.

This spring, Wooden finally got to take the bulk of the team’s snaps and did an impressive job of moving the ball and finding open targets. In four spring scrimmages, he collected 563 yards of total offense, including a team-high 185 rushing yards (all in the yellow jersey).

His lightning-quick scrambling ability will give the Bears another weapon in the offensive backfield and keep blitzing defenses in check. Look for the triple threat to continue to improve his pass accuracy as 2011 progresses, and provide the Bears consistent yards with his ability to tuck and run.

“It’s tough to replace a guy like Cody Kirby, but Trevor is a tremendous athlete,” said Offensive Coordinator Rob Christophel. “He understands what it takes to be a quarterback at the Division I level, and he’s worked on everything we’ve asked him to.”

Backing up Wooden will be redshirt freshman Mitchell Jenkins who was 29-for-57 passing in spring scrimmages with no interceptions and 200 yards. Jenkins also has better-than-average speed out of the pocket and will provide a nice understudy.

Newcomer Kierra Harris also brings a host of potential to the Bears’ system for the future and will be fun to monitor as he learns the MSU spread offense in the Bears’ system.

2011 Football Guide

Season Outlook fold came just shy of breaking the school record for single-season receiving yards in 2010. His 53 catches for 869 yards (16.4) was 36 yards shy of the MSU standard and ranked 28th nationally in yards per game (79.00). He led the club with 9 receptions for 150 yards this spring and can do the little things the Bears need to work with a young quarterback.

Also back in the fold is junior Cadarrius Dotson.

The Memphis native caught passes in the first 21 games of his career before being shut out in the 2010 season finale. He managed 38 receptions 495 yards a year ago and will look to resume his role as one of the club’s three staring wideouts.

Redshirt freshman Julian Burton, who suffered a season-ending injury in week three last season, is coming off a great spring and will push Dotson for time at the B slot. Burton is also a solid return man who provides great speed and acceleration in the open field.

“We need the seniors to step up,” Christophel said. “Saffold will be one of the top receivers in the league, and getting Julian Burton back will be huge.

We will be very deep and we’ll need those guys to give us minutes to keep our starters fresh.”

Willie White, a former Georgia Tech signee, got ample minutes on special teams a year ago and enters his senior year with something to prove. White played all 11 games in 2010 and could push for a starting job with his great height and leaping ability.

Dorian Buford, a walk-on from McCluer North, had a shocking spring and made sure everyone took notice. With speed, size and leaping ability in his arsenal, Buford was second on the squad in spring receptions with 8 for 113 yards.

Experienced squad members Ian Starnes, Adrian Williams, Dan Reichert and Duane Atteberry will also be expected to play bigger roles in 2011, while newcomers Eric Brown, Eric Christophel and Robert Fields are on the scene to contribute and bring their impressive credentials to campus.

Robert Fields (6-1, 185, Fr., Memphis, Tenn.)

TIGHT END Look no further than junior Matt Thayer as the top man at tight end this fall for MSU. Thayer split time with then-senior Wes Miller in 2010, but has worked as hard as anyone this spring and summer to take over the starting job full time in 2011.

He had 7 receptions this spring and is a solid blocker and presence on the line. A year ago, he 10 passes for 109 yards while starting four games.

Third-year sophomore Matt Swan suffered a knee injury this spring and will miss significant time, which means a transfer and two freshman signees may be pushed into duty early. Richard Darden from Memphis and fellow freshman Daniel Wood will add depth and need to mature quickly, while Missouri transfer Tim Struckhoff has experience at a position Christophel says is thin from the onset.

“Thayer is one of the top tight ends in the league,” Christophel said. “However, depth will be a concern for us at tight end. Matt is a good one to have at

OFFENSIVE LINE The Bears’ success will hinge in large part on the development of a score of young offensive linemen.

MSU departed with four seniors in 2010 and return just starting left guard Travis Simmons to the front five. He graded out at 71 percent his junior year and will take on a pivotal leadership role in 2011.

Fourth-year junior Harrison Menke will also bring experience up front. He is slated to take over the starting center job, while Kurt Kutter, a third-year sophomore who played in all 11 games in 2010, is slated as the front runner at right guard.

At left tackle, redshirt freshman Zack Cooley came out of the spring as the top man, but juco transfer Clay Spruill pushed him during the spring and will challenge for the job and playing time.

At right tackle, sophomores Kyle Hahn and Justin Aumen bring a solid 1-2 punch to a key spot.

Fellow returnees Richard Galbierz and Jordan Rainey will back up Simmons and Cutter, respectively, but the pair of redshirt freshman have a year of college ball under their belts now and are ready to contribute. Fellow redshirt freshman Joe Burgess is coming off knee surgery, while juco transfer Randy Richards will have to be ready to play right away at center. The Bears also hope some of the six freshman newcomers will be ready to jump in with both feet.

“I’m pleased with the progress of our offensive linemen,” Christophel said. “Replacing four starters is tough. Our young guys are going to have to step up, and we’ll have to use a lot of guys so we have depth and can keep guys rested.”

Charleston Antwine (6-5, 297, Fr., Wake Village, Texas) Jake Arthur (6-5, 293, Fr., Eldridge, Iowa) Joe Burgess (6-6, 300, RFr., Florissant, Mo.)

DEFENSIVE LINE The front three on the Missouri State defensive line will be critical if the Bears are to improve on the defensive side of the ball this season.

Senior Mikel Ruder will anchor the d-line from his spot at left end after starting all 11 games at nose tackle a year ago. His 42 stops were a close second among the club’s defensive linemen, and his pass rushing prowess make him a threat in all facets of the defensive scheme.

Martin Montgomery, who played 11 games with a start as a true freshman will push Ruder.

Sophomore Anthony Grady will likely hold down the starting right end spot, while junior Tevan Ferguson will battle second-year sophomore Eric Pearce for the starting job at nose tackle.

“Ruder’s a guy who has played every position on the defensive line,” said Defensive Coordinator D.J. Vokolek. “He will be a big key for us, while Ferguson and Pearce will have to step up, and Grady and Montgomery will be forced into significant roles.”

Returning squad members Chris Current and Isaia Falealii will set the standard for the seven incoming freshman on the defensive line who will also provide needed depth.

Jordan White (6-6, 280, Fr., Van Buren, Ark.) James Barnes (5-10, 260, Fr., St. Louis, Mo.) Jordan Gardner (6-3, 230, Fr., Springfield, Mo.)

INSIDE LINEBACKER Fifth-year senior David Ingram is poised and ready to step up in a big way for the interior defense. He has waited patiently for his opportunity and began preparing for the starting role in 2010 when he played all 11 games and tallied 13 tackles in a reserve capacity.

He’ll team up with Ryan Callender who missed all but two games last season with an injury after an impressive freshman campaign in 2009. Redshirt freshman Andrew Beisel, who brought down four ball carriers in the Maroon and White Spring Game will push Callender for the starting Mac LB spot.

Fellow returning squadmen Chris Moses had a team-high 8 tackles in the Maroon and White game this spring, while Andrew Jordan and Geoff Stanford will have to mature quickly to provide depth.

Newcomers Jamarius Smith, Dondelaro Crosby and Christian Hoffman are nice additions who should make a quick impact on arrival.

“Ingram has waited for his turn,” Vokolek said.

“He is smart and will need to be a leader for us. Callender and Beisel will have to step up too.”

OUTSIDE LINEBACKER Look for Missouri Valley Football Conference AllNewcomer pick Nick Canavan to lead a deep group at outside linebacker. Canavan had his redshirt pulled in week four of his freshman season in 2010 and then punished opposing offenses to the tune of 50 tackles over eight games. He finished fourth on the squad in total stops with 6 tackles for loss.

He will likely hold down the starting spot on the Will side, while fourth-year junior Rodney Kelly is amped for his opportunity on the Sam side as the preseason leader on the depth chart. Kelly will be pushed by Darius Blow, who was in on 7 tackles in the Maroon and White Game and would love to begin his senior season with a starting role.

“Canavan is a returning starter who will have to pick up where he left off and continue to improve,” Vokolek explained. “Rodney Kelly will have an opportunity right away to step up, and (juco transfer) Nate) Davis will help us somewhere.”

Davis had 85 tackles a year ago at the juco level and will try to step into a leadership role quickly with walk-on Pat Fornadel, redshirt freshmen Josh Mattes and true freshman Rufus Sullivan also looking to contribute.

SAFETY

SPECIAL TEAMS

Competition at safety will be fierce this fall with both starting spots undecided after spring drills.

Replacing graduated senior Skylar Smith, a threetime All-MFVC selection, at strong safety will be fifth-year senior Jarrett Wright or redshirt freshman Caleb Schaffitzel.

Wright has 26 college games under his belt and recorded 6 tackles a year ago backing up Smith.

Schaffitzel is a remarkable athlete who broke nearly every Missouri high school rushing record and then became strictly a defensive threat upon his arrival at MSU a year ago. Wright’s experience and strength may trump Schaffitzel’s athleticism and speed, but both will be in the mix from the onset.

At free safety, junior Anthony “L.T.” Lee played all 11 games in 2010 and had 12 tackles to his credit.

Redshirt freshman Mike Crutcher will push Lee for the starting job after bringing down five ball carriers in the Maroon and White Game this spring, second only to Schaffitzel among the defensive backs.

“Jarrett Wright and Anthony Lee know it’s their turn,” Vokolek explained. “But Schaffitzel and Crutcher are not going to just give it to them. There will be good competition at safety this fall, and that will push all of them to be better.”

The Bears will have a bulk of their specialists back in camp this fall, including fourth-year starting punter Jordan Chiles. The MVFC Honor Roll regular averaged 38.3 yards per punt last fall, but half of his 56 kicks were fair caught or rolled inside the opponents’ 20. He should be poised for postseason honors this fall and has the experience to give the Bears a needed spark on fourth down.

Likewise, sophomore Austin Witmer will return as the club’s top place kicker. He averaged 60.3 yards per kickoff last year and took all but one of the club’s kickoffs. He took over PAT and field goal duties in week eight earned National Special Teams Player of the Week in his first career start. He finished the year 10-for-10 on extra points and 6-of-9 on field goals, including the game-winner in a 3-0 win over eventual national quarterfinalist North Dakota State in the season finale.

Long snapper Kaleb Mueller is as solid as they come and will use his senior season to prove why few on the club have more heart and determination.

Mueller was in on four special teams tackles and recovered a fumble last year -- a rare task for a long snapper at any level.

Trevor Wooden was the primary holder for PATs

If the Bears have one defensive position with some certainty in store, it’s at cornerback. The starting tandem of Jimmie Strong and Howard Scarborough were in the starting lineup for every game they were healthy in 2010, and both should be factors again this fall.

Despite missing two games with an injury, Strong snagged 4 interceptions as a junior and collected 31 tackles. He has garnered preseason recognition from Phil Steele and College Football Performance Awards and should be in contention for MVFC honors as well.

Strong will likely hold down the right corner spot, although he’ll be pushed by sophomore Sybhrian Berry who played all 11 games as a true freshman and came out of spring holding aces. The competition and depth will help the Bears ultimately on both sides.

Scarborough defended a team-high 8 passes in 2010 and brought down 47 opposing ball carriers, which was sixth on the club. He also recovered three fumbles and has a nose for the football in every situation. He will hold down the left corner and be backed up by James Caine, an Iowa Western transfer who was competitive all spring.

“Jimmie Strong needs to have a good year,” Vokolek said. “He was hurt last year and that affected us as a team. We also will look for big things from Howard (Scarborough) and Sybhrian (Berry).”

MISSOURI STATE TEAM TRAVEL SUMMARY

SCHEDULE The Bears will have two Division I Football Bowl Subdivision opponents on the 2011 slate with the team’s opener Sept. 3 at Arkansas and a trip to Oregon for week three on Sept. 17.

It will be the first time the club has played two FBS opponents in the same season since the playoff season of 1990 when Jesse Branch took MSU to UNLV and Tulsa.

Sandwiched in between the games against the BCS powerhouses is a return trip to Eastern Kentucky (Sept. 10) from the Ohio Valley Conference, a team the Bears beat at Plaster Field, 31-9 a year ago.

After the non-conference slate is complete, the Bears will travel to Carbondale for their MVFC opener at Southern Illinois (Sept. 24) to close out a brutal opening month on the road.

Head coach Terry Allen says the true grit of his 2011 squad will start to take shape once the Bears return home on Oct. 1.

“We’ll find out how good we are in October,” Allen said. “Having to play the first four games on the road, hopefully we can mature and become competitive. Our guys should be ready to come back home

Bears

SERIES NOTES The Bears are 0-6 all-time against Arkansas and have never played Oregon. Missouri State’s only previous victory over a Division I FBS program was a 31-24 win at UNLV in 1990.

MSU won the first-ever meeting with Eastern Kentucky in the 2010 season opener at Plaster Field.

The Bears snapped a seven-game losing streak to Southern Illinois with a 51-41 home win over the Salukis last October. This will be the club’s first trip to the new stadium in Carbondale where the Bears last won in 2001.

Missouri State has split the last four meetings with Illinois State and has won six of eight against Indiana State. MSU owns two-game win streaks again North Dakota State and Western Illinois and a three-game streak against Youngstown State.

UNI has claimed five straight wins over the Bears and has won 11 of the last 12 meetings. The last MSU victory in the series was a 24-21 decision at Plaster Field in 2005 MSU has never beaten South Dakota State in three previous meetings.

COACHES

2011 Football Guide

Terry Allen Terry Allen enters his sixth season at the helm of the Missouri State program with one of the toughest Division I FCS schedules in the country on his plate and a young team anxious to prove itself in elite company.

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 lost another contest by 10 points. The team landed three players on the 2006 all-conference list and set the foundation for the program’s future.

Allen then took his charges to an exciting 6-5 campaign in 2007, the biggest 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 also knocked off three ranked opponents in 2007 and landed three on the All-MVFC squad. Sophomore tight end Clay Harbor and freshman lineman David Arkin joined Nathan Stokes for league honors.

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

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

team’s performance showed a 3-3 road mark, which matched the school’s most road victories since 1996. Likewise, the team’s 3-5 record in the new-look Missouri Valley Football Conference equalled the team’s most league wins since 1993. MSU also lost two games by margins of eight points or less along the way.

Even more impressive in 2008 was the effort put forth by the program’s inventory of underclassmen. Harbor, a junior, earned All-MVFC 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.

Last season, Allen’s Bears went undefeated at home, marking the first time since 1992 that an MSU team had gone unbeaten at Plaster Sports Complex.

The 2010 Bears also knocked off three Top 25 opponents -- No. 20 Youngstown State, No. 18 Western Illinois and No. 17 North Dakota State. MSU also beat two Division I playoff opponents, including eventual national quarterfinalist North Dakota State, en route to tying for third place in the competitive MVFC standings.

The Bears landed seven players on the 2010 All-MVFC Team, including Arkin and Wilkinson on the first team, junior WR Jermaine Saffold

www.MissouriStateBears.com

and senior safety Skylar Smith on the second team, plus honorable mention picks in junior TB Chris Douglas and seniors Kirby and OLB Terian Washington.

Arkin became the second Bear picked in the NFL Draft in as many years when the Dallas Cowboys picked him up in the fourth round, capping a consensus All-America season for the standout tackle.

Allen came to MSU for his second stint in the league. 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 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

Missouri State

2011 Football Guide

COACHES 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.

He 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 head coaching career, he has mentored 19 AP All-America players and 193 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.

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

COACHES

2011 Football Guide

D.J. Vokolek D.J. Vokolek is in his sixth season as the Bears’ defensive coordinator, and will also assist with coaching duties in the defensive secondary this season. 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 the 2005 conference co-champion and NCAA Division I runner-up Northern Iowa program.

The 2010 campaign was highlighted by a season-ending shutout over No. 17 North Dakota State, a program that ultimately advanced to the Division I quarterfinals. The win marked MSU’s first shutout win during the Terry Allen era.

Last season’s Bears also finished 24th nationally in sacks per game (2.45), finishing third in the MFVC in that category, while

Defensive Coordinator, 6th year

ranking 30th in turnover margin (+0.36) behind 11 interceptions by the MSU secondary.

Under Vokolek’s leadership, the Bears changed to a 3-4 look in 2009 and improved by nearly 120 yards per game in total defense.

In his first five seasons at Missouri State, Vokolek has boasted seven MVFC AllNewcomer selections, including 2009 Valley Newcomer of the Year Antoine Wilkinson, and 16 all-conference picks on the defensive side of the ball.

Vokolek came 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.

Among the many outstanding recruits he landed at UNO was current MSU assistant coach Taiwo Onatolu.

A native of Lincoln, Neb., Vokolek was a four-year gridder at Nebraska-Kearney,

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.

Vokolek and his wife, Pam, have two children, Travis and Leah.

Offensive Coordinator, 5th year

Rob Christophel Rob Christophel is in his fifth season on the Missouri State staff as the Bears’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Upon arrival at MSU, Christophel installed a no-huddle, spread offense that 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-Missouri Valley Football Conference selections.

In 2009, Harbor collected AP All-America and first-team All-MVFC honors for the third straight year, and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

Likewise, the 2010offensive unit pro-

duced a consensus All-American in tackle David Arkin who was picked up by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

The 2010 Bears finished 13th in the nation in total offense (425.45) and 11th in rushing yards per game (214.18), while committing just 13 turnovers in 11 games.

A veteran with more than 20 years of offensive coaching experience at the college level, Christophel came to Missouri State after spending five campaigns as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. ULL ranked seventh in Division FBS rushing offense in 2005 while leading the Sun Belt Conference in nine offensive categories. In 2006, the Ragin’ Cajuns were 14th nationally and first in the Sun Belt in rushing offense and second in total offense.

From 1997 to 2002, Christophel was offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., where the offensive units he guided were among the top 10 in passing offense and total offense in the NAIA from 1998-

2000. 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 University in Clarksville, Tenn.

He and his wife, Paula, have two sons, Tyler and first-year Bears’ wide receiver Eric.

With four seniors in the 2010 starting lineup, Coughlin’s trench workers helped MSU average 425.45 yards per game last season, which ranked 13th in the Division I FCS ranks and second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Bears also tallied 214.18 yards per game on the ground which ranked 11th in the nation.

In 2009, newcomers Erik Dahl and Bob Shapel helped mold a solid front line that included All-MVFC first-teamer David Arkin.

Arkin would eventually become a four-time All-MVFC performer.

After working four new starters into the offensive line alignment in 2007, Coughlin returned four starters to the trenches in 2008, which helped the Bears boast one of the league’s top pass protection units and highest scoring offenses.

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, working 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 working with the offensive line while pursuing his master’s degree in higher education (2006).

The Kildeer, Ill., native earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Drake in 2001.

He is the NFL liaison on the Missouri State coaching staff and coordinates all compliance efforts and summer team camps in addition to all computer-related projects.

Coughlin is also the team’s NFL liaison and video exchange coordinator.

Asst. Coach/Defensive Line, 4th year

Courtney Sanders Courtney Sanders is in his fourth season on the Bears’ coaching staff after coming to Missouri State in May 2008.

He will once again coach the Bears’ defensive linemen this season for a unit that includes five returning lettermen to the trenches.

Last season, the Bears’ front three included seniors Levi Moore and Waylon Richardet who combined for 79 total stops in the 3-4 set. This fall, Sanders will have the opportunity to work with fellow starter Mikel Ruder, who has started 22 straight games and will transition from nose tackle to defensive end in 2011.

Also returning for the Bears is talented second-year man Martin Montgomery who earned one start as a true freshman in 2010, along with Tevan Ferguson who also has starting experience. Lettermen Anthony Grady and Eric Pearce round out a

solid cast of returnees up front for the MSU defensive line.

The 2010 Bears ranked 24th nationally in sacks per game (2.45) and were 69th in rushing defense.

In his second season with the Bears in 2009, Sanders coached second-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference defensive end Waylon Richardet, and fellow starter Ruder. The pair combined to start 22 games and accumulate 89 total tackles, including 10 for loss.

Over the last three seasons, Sanders has helped the Bears’ pass rush improve dramatically, from 0.91 sacks per game in 2008 to a nationally-ranked 2.45 avearge in 2010.

Sanders is a native of Stamps, Ark., where he was a four-sport athlete in high school with numerous all-state honors in football as a senior. He played football for three seasons for the Boll Weevils at Arkansas-Monticello and graduated in 2002 from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where he also earned his master’s degree in 2006.

While at Arkansas, he worked on the Razorbacks’ football staff in a variety of assignments from 2001-08.

Among those tasks was working in quality control on both offense and defense, including

film breakdown and academic monitoring of student-athletes. He was also a graduate assistant on the defensive side of the football, and worked for one season in the strength and conditioning department.

During his tenure with the Razorbacks, he worked alongside several future NFL players, including Eagles’ offensive tackle Jason Peters, Atlanta defensive end Jamaal Anderson, and Chicago Bears’ defensive tackle Marcus Harrison, among others.

In addition to his duties as the Bears’ defensive line coach, he is responsible for recruiting the state of Arkansas while serving as a liaison with the Bears’ strength and conditioning program.

Coach Sanders and his wife, Veronica, are the proud parents of a daughter, Courtland.

2011 Football Guide

Bob Montgomery Former Iowa State standout Bob Montgomery is in his fourth 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 personnel and instruction for the MSU coaching staff.

Montgomery’s coaching tenure with MSU has included mentoring arguably the best tight end in Missouri Valley Football Conference history in consensus All-American 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 setting the 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

Asst. Coach/Tight Ends & Special Teams, 4th year

named to the MVFC All-Silver Anniversary Team squad.

In 2010, he accepted the challenge of replacing Harbor by bringing fifth-year senior Wes Miller into the fold as the primary starter, while junior college transfer Matt Thayer also earned time in the starting lineup and emerged as a physical presence on the offensive line. The pair combined to 17 catches for 173 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but more importantly provided ample blocking up front for the 11th-best rushing attack in the Division I FCS ranks.

Thayer heads into his junior season looking to lead a talented cast of young tight ends and provide support for an MSU running game that returns 82 percent of its ground yards from last season.

Likewise, Montgomery’s special teams group will include returning starters Jordan Chiles and Austin Witmer, at punter and kicker, respectively, along with a host of talented return specialists.

Montgomery started his coaching career with three seasons as offensive line coach and running game coordinator at Bryant (R.I.) University, advancing to 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 the 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. He was a Big 12 Conference allacademic 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 also is an Iowa State graduate. The couple are parents of a twoyear-old daughter, Kinsley.

Asst. Coach/Wide Receivers, 2nd year

Mike Chandler Wide receivers coach Mike Chandler is currently in his second season on the Missouri State staff.

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 current MSU head coach Terry Allen.

From Kansas, Chandler went to the Charleston (S.C.) Swampfoxes of the Arena Football League where he played from 2000-03 and earned team captain honors in his first season. He put together a stellar pro career as a receiver and defensive back for the Swampfoxes during his three seasons with the club.

He also enjoyed professional stints with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian

Football League, Buffalo (N.Y.) Destroyers of the Arena Football, and a brief stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001.

After pro football, he went into private 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 for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. He also served as strength and conditioning coordinator and video supervisor at Fort Scott before coming to Missouri State in August, 2009 as a part-time assistant.

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

In 2010, he continued to advance the MSU receiving

corps with 12 different players registering pass receptions during a 5-6 campaign.

Junior standout Jermaine Saffold earned All-MFVC second-team honors after collecting 53 catches for 869 yards and coming just shy of breaking the school receiving yards record in a season. Likewise, Dotson picked up where he left off his freshman year and had 38 catches, including a reception in each of his first 21 games as a Bear.

MSU will return 90 percent of its pass receptions and 92 percent of its receiving yards in 2011 with Dotson and Saffold leading the way with 32 collective career starts.

The Bears have six of seven wide receiver letter winners returning for the 2011 season.

Chandler is single and currently resides in Springfield.

Asst. Coach/Running Backs, 2nd year

Gerald Davis Second-year running backs coach Gerald Davis is no stranger to Missouri State football fans. After a successful playing career at MSU, Davis returned to the program in 2010 as a member of the coaching staff and made an immediate impact.

Last season, the Bears finished 11th in the nation in rushing offense (214.18) and 13th in total offense (425.45) as Davis helped guide a solid group of tailbacks.

Junior Chris Douglas was named to the All-Missouri Valley Football Conference squad as an honorable mention pick, while becoming MSU’s 10th 1,000-yard rusher.

Douglas finished second in the nation in yards per carry (6.9) and was 27th nationally in rushing yards (95.55). Classmate Stephen Johnston accounted for 752 yards on 147 carries and had a solid comeback season after missing the entire 2009 campaign.

When Bears fans last saw Gerald Davis, he was racking up touchdowns on his way to a record-setting senior season in 2007.

This year, fans will once again see the familiar face on the sidelines as a first-year, part-time assistant coach working with the team’s running backs.

Before completing his degree at Missouri State in 2008, Davis played two seasons for Terry Allen and set Missouri State’s single-season records for most touchdowns (19) and points (114).

He guided the Bears to a 6-5 campaign in 2007 and was named honorable mention All-MVFC after earning the team’s Most Valuable Player Award. He rushed for a team-best 830 yards on 156 carries in his final season.

The St. Louis, Mo., native was a fouryear letterman from 2004-07.

The Pattonville High product notched a school record five rushing touchdowns against Indiana State (10/2707) and claimed Coors Player of the Year honors as a senior co-captain. He also had two 100-yard rushing games as a senior, including a career-high 123-yard effort against Illinois State (10/6/07).

In 2011, Davis will have the pleasure of working with seniors Douglas and Johnston as well as 2009 MVFC AllNewcomer pick Mikael Cooper-

Falls, solid sophomore Vernon Scott and a solid freshman class that includes highlytouted prep standouts Maddy Johnson and Ryan Heaston. In all, the Bears return 82 percent of their rushing yards from last season and 71 percent of their total carries.

2010 REVIEW

Season of Odd Finishes Yields Third-Place League Showing Non-Conference Swing Demonstrates Promise The roller coaster ride that was the 2010 season began at Plaster Field with a visit from Ohio Valley Conference power Eastern Kentucky.

The game took just over 22 hours to complete due to heavy lightning and a tornado warning that pushed the game from a Thursday night start to a Friday afternoon tilt. The sunny day start would kick off Labor Day Weekend in style as the Bears’ defense surrendered just three field goals in an impressive 31-9 victory.

Chris Douglas notched his first of four 100-yard rushing games on the season with 128 yards on just 10 carries, including an 86yard touchdown scamper late in the second quarter that ultimately secured the win.

MSU outgained the Colonels on the ground, 189 to 35, including a pair of touchdowns by Cody Kirby who finished 15-for-25 for 199 yards. Kirby’s first TD pass of the season came on a 28-yard completion to Jermaine Saffold in the third period.

EKU got all but 20 of its 350 yards of total offense from quarterback T.J. Pryor. The Colonels were just 2-for-15 on third down, but amassed 315 passing yards -- all by Pryor.

The Bears’ 10th season-opening win in 11 years set the stage for the club’s annual game against a FBS opponent with a Sept. 11 trip to Kansas State.

Missouri State collected 447 total yards and matched a season high with 25 first downs against the Wildcats, but couldn’t overcome an early 20-0 deficit and fell by a margin of 48-24.

The Bears got on the board with just 1:22 to go in the first half on an impressive 66-yard 6-yard strike from Kirby to Saffold to make it 20-7. The 13-point -point deficit would have been a manageable one to start the second half, but K-State mounted a 68-yard touchdown wn drive before the intermission to make it 27-7 at the end of the second quarter.

Missouri State manufactured touchdown drives rives of 74 and 99 yards in the second half, including ng an impressive 18-play drive that consumed 8:03 3 of the fourth quarter and was capped with a fourth-down down touchdown pass from Kirby to his understudyy and redshirt freshman Trevor Wooden.

Kirby finished with 281 passing yards, 333 yards total offense and a pair of touchdowns to earn Valley Offensive Player of the Week honors. Saffold was his top target with a game-high eight catches for 113 yards, his second career 100-yard game. Left tackle David Arkin also earned a league award as MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week after grading out at 85 percent.

The announced attendance of 48,672 marked the fourth-largest crowd ever for a Missouri State game.

Late Lead Slips Away in League Opener In the Missouri Valley Conference opener for the Bears two weeks later, Terry Allen’s troops showed little difficulty moving the ball in a high-scoring battle at Illinois State.

The nationally-televised game on FOX College Sports saw 957 yards of total offense, including 418 by the Bears in a shootout that included two ties and three lead changes.

The Bears took a 31-23 lead on a two-yard pass from Kirby to tight end Matt Thayer with 5:25 to go in the third quarter. That eight-

point advantage held until the No. 25 Redbirds made it a five-point game with a Steven Fetzer 20-yard field goal with 9:15 to go in the fourth.

With just under seven minutes left in regulation, the Bears pinned ISU inside its own four-yard line and seemed to be in a solid position headed down the stretch. However, the Redbirds marched 96 yards on 12 plays to take the lead behind a 15-yard run by Ashton Leggett. The Redbirds’ two-point conversion was successful, giving the home club a 34-31 lead with 2:08 on the clock.

After the ensuing kickoff, the Bears took over at their own 27 with 2:02 to go and marched 64 yards on 10 plays before settling for the game-tying field goal by Jordan Chiles as time expired in regulation.

The 26-yard kick capped an impressive drive by Kirby that took 10 plays and saw the Bears advance to the nine-yard line. Kirby’s pass intended for Jermaine Saffold in the endzone with 7.1 seconds to go sailed just high to set up the tying field goal.

In overtime, it took ISU just two plays to convert a touchdown as Leggett carried six yards to make it 41-34 after Matt Brown completed a 19-yard strike to Marvon Sanders on the first play.

The Bears, who chose to go on defense first after winning the toss, got a 24-yard completion from Kirby to Thayer to the one-yard line on their first play, followed by a one-yard TD run

by Kirby, tying his career-high three rushing touchdowns and tying the game, 41-41. ty second overtime, Chiles missed a In the sec 42-yard field goal attempt, wide left, after the Bears failed to gain any ground on three fa plays. Illinois State then went conservative just three yards before turnand gained ga ing the th game over to Fitzer who made the g game-winning 39-yard field goal, his th third of the night.

The Bears last-minute rally gave Th Kirby 187 passing yards on the night with 84 8 yards on the ground. Stephen Johnston had a game-high and careerJohn high 88 yards on 19 carries to lead the Bear who also got 50 yards on 13 Bears carrie from Douglas. carries Adam Beauchamp led the Bears Ad with a career-high 15 tackles, including 10 solos, while Terian Washington and Sam Block contributed 10 stops apiece.

ISU ran 92 offensive plays, the most by any opponent vs. MSU under Allen.

Return Home Evens the Ledger It took visiting Youngstown state just over 12 minutes to build a 17-0 lead over the Bears on Oct. 2 when Missouri State returned home to face the No. 20 Penguins.

However, the home club would reel off the game’s next 28 points in an eventual 35-25 win over YSU. The rally started with a 30-yard pass from Kirby to Cadarrius Dotson early in the second quarter and continued with a pair of game-changing defensive plays.

Late in the third quarter, Howard Scarborough jumped on a fumbled snap from center in the end zone to pull the Bears within 17-14. Just 90 seconds later, the MSU defense struck again with

Missouri State

2010 REVIEW a 40-yard interception return by Beauchamp to give MSU its first lead of the game.

The Bears would tack on a pair of fourthquarter touchdowns to secure their first win over a top-25 squad in three years as MSU finished with 410 yards of total offense, 25 first downs and three key turnovers to improve to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the MVFC. Kirby was 24-for-39 for 298 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Saffold (114) and Dotson (103) went over the century mark in receiving yards.

The Sycam Sycamores outgained the Bears 508-400, and Johnston pos posted his second straight 100-yard game for MSU, carr carrying 22 times for 112 yards as the Bears fell to 2-4 ove overall and 1-2 in the MVFC.

Quality W Wins at Plaster Provide Hope

Record Breakers and Heart Breakers One of the craziest games in school history took place on Oct. 9 when the Bears traveled to Murray State for their non-conference finale.

The game started with the Bears dominating the line of scrimmage and building a 21-3 lead just under 10 minutes in. The Bears manufactured touchdown drives of 74, 70 and 97 yards in the opening quarter and took just eight plays, including a 97-yard touchdown run by Chris Douglas, to take the early advantage.

The Bears scored on nine of their first 10 possessions and led 5238 with 2:22 to play in the third quarter. However, the Racers scored five of the game’s final six touchdowns in an amazing 72-59 victory.

The two clubs combined for 1,423 yards, including 607 by Missouri State, a Division I FCS record.

Four of Murray State’s final five scores were set up by Missouri State mistakes, starting with a Murray State on-side kick, followed by a Bears fumble at their own 20 on their second possession of the fourth quarter, and capped by two mishandled kickoff returns that led to Racers touchdown drives of 30 and 36 yards.

Despite the miscues, the Bears drove to the Murray State 13 with just over four minutes to go in the game. However, the Bears failed to cut into the 13-point deficit when a 12-yard sack on fourth-andeight ended the threat at the Racers 25.

Casey Brockman broke Murray State single-game records for yards (570) and TD passes (7). He completed 32 of 41 passes with no interceptions.

Kirby was the offensive star for the Bears, collecting four rushing touchdowns and 81 yards, both career highs. He was an efficient 10-for-14 through the air for 171 yards and no interceptions to break the MSU career passing record (7,012) and become just the 10th passer in Missouri Valley Football Conference history to surpass 7,000 yards. Douglas finished with a career-high 191 yards on just 10 carries, while Johnston carried 13 times for a career-best 164 on the ground.

The Bears took the disappointment from the Murray State loss on the road the following week as they resumed league play at Indiana State.

The third overtime game in the last five meetings in Terre Haute saw Indiana State hold off visiting Missouri State, 38-35.

The Bears built a 35-21 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana State scored 17 unanswered points to claim the win.

The game-winner came on a 32-yard field goal by Cory Little on Indiana State’s sole possession in overtime. The Sycamores’ initial drive in extra time stalled at the MSU 14, which led to the field goal attempt by Little.

It looked as if the Bears had an opportunity for victory on the next possession as Johnston carried four times for 14 yards to get the ball to the ISU five. On fourth-and-two from the five, the Bears sent back the field goal unit to go for the win. However, a false start penalty pushed the ball back to the 10-yard line and brought on Chiles for a 27-yard field goal attempt which missed left.

After the pa pair of tough road defeats, Missouri State Plaster Field for a true Homecoming and returned to P a date with No. N 18 Western Illinois, an eventual FCS playoff qualifier.

Dou Douglas had a game-high 165 yards on 18 carries, carrie including a 71-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, to lead the way for Terry Allen’s squad. Classmate Johnston also carried 18 times and finished with 130 ground yards for his third straight 100-yard effort.

After holding a 21-14 halftime lead, the Bears forced Western Illinois to punt on its first three possessions of the se second half. However, the Leathernecks retaliated early in the fourth quarter, driving 67 yards on nine plays to tie the game on an eight-yard keeper by quarterback Matt Barr with 12:21 left in the game.

That’s when the Bears’ took the lead for good. On the third play of the ensuing drive, Douglas broke a 71-yard touchdown run to put the Bears up 28-21 and give MSU a lead it would never relinquish.

A 35-yard field goal by freshman Austin Witmer, the first of his career, on MSU’s next possession extended its advantage to 31-21 with 4:21 to left.

The Leathernecks kept their hopes alive with a 76-yard touchdown drive moments later. The 44-second scoring effort took just four plays and made it a three-point game after Lito Senatus sprung free for a 38-yard completion from Matt Barr.

After WIU kicked off deep with 3:32 to go, the Bears were able to eat away all but six seconds before punting to the Leathernecks’ 10 yard line. A last minute, desperation pass by Barr was complete to the MSU 45, but Antoine Wilkinson and Skylar Smith were there to make the tackle and preserve the win.

Antoine Wilkinson, a Buck Buchanan Watch List finalist, finished with 14 tackles and a sack to lead Missouri State’s defense had four sacks and held WIU to just 94 rushing yards on 34 attempts. Jimmie Strong also had two interceptions for the Bears.

Missouri State then evened its season record at 4-4 the following week with a 51-41 win over rival Southern Illinois as Kirby threw for a career-high 348 yards, and Douglas o turn scored three touchdowns to back the Salukis for the firstt time since 2002.

2011 Football Guide Terry Allen’s Bears then scored on their next two possessions to extend their lead to 34-19. An SIU fumble set up a two-yard touchdown run by Douglas to cap a 28-yard drive, and an impressive 89-yard touchdown drive that concluded with a two-yard scoring pass from Kirby to Wes Miller gave Missouri State its biggest lead of the afternoon.

The preseason MVFC favorites kept things interesting with the final two scores of the third quarter. The Salukis would eventually tie the game, 41-41, with 11:23 to go in the fourth, however the Bears’ defense held the Salukis to a three-and-out after a 30-yard field goal

by Witmer gave the edge back to the home team, 44-41.

SIU then turned the ball over on downs with 7:03 remaining, giving MSU the ball on its own 36. Kirby then took over, completing three of four passes for 35 yards and rushing for nine more to set up an eight-yard touchdown run by Douglas with 2:20 to go and secure a 51-41 win. The game-winning 64-yard drive took 10 plays, but more importantly, ate 4:49 off the clock in an otherwise high-flying affair.

Kirby was 24-for-36 passing with a pair of touchdown strikes, while Douglas posted a team-best 86 yards on 15 carries. Missouri State finished with 495 yards of total offense.

Saffold caught nine passes to lead seven MSU receivers. He finished with a career-high 176 receiving yards. Witmer, in his first career start, scored 15 points, including three field goals and earned National Special Teams Player of the Week by The Sports Network.

Bears Squander More Road Opportunities The wins over Western Illinois and Southern Illinois brought the Bears back within one game of first-place Northern Iowa with three games remaining in the regular season.

A pair of critical road games awaited the maroon and white -- a Nov. 6 game at South Dakota State followed by a trip to leagueleading UNI the following week.

The first stop on the two-game tour saw the Bears miss a number of opportunities in a 31-10 loss to the SDSU Jackrabbits.

Trailing 16-10 at the intermission, the Bears used an effective ground game to set up a pair of long drives early in the second half.

The first stalled at the SDSU 21 on a failed fourth-down conversion, and the second saw MSU fall short on an another fourth down later in the quarter at the Jackrabbits’ 36.

Meanwhile the home club put together an impressive 12-play, 79yard drive of its own late in the third to build a 24-10 advantage.

Despite Kyle Minett grinding out 111 yards on 29 carries, the Bears’ defense held strong for the remainder of the game to give the offense a chance. However, a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown by Cole Brodie with 2:04 left in the contest sealed Missouri State’s fate as the Bears failed to put any points on the board in the second half in a game much closer than the final score.

Kirby slumped through a 15-for-37 day with 167 yards and two interceptions, while Johnston and Douglas combined for 119 yards on 21 carries. Defensively, Beauchamp was the star, accounting for 18 total stops, while Wilkinson contributed 12.

South Dakota State was 9-for-16 on third down which gave the home club ample opportunities to run clock and hang on for the win.

A week later, MSU gave No. 17 UNI everything it wanted in the early going. A pair of first-quarter touchdown drives by the Bears made it 14-14 as Kirby put together a 14-play, 79-yard effort with 8:15 to go in the first, and later Johnston found paydirt from 18 yards out to cap a short 33-yard drive created by a long Justin Fuselier punt return.

Despite collecting 20 first downs and outgaining the Panthers 355-342, Missouri State would not score again. The Panthers (6-3, 5-1) scored 14 unanswered points in the second quarter and tacked on 10 more in the second half in a 38-14 win that clinched the MVFC regular-season title for UNI.

2010 REVIEW Douglas carried 18 times for 92 yards, and Kirby was 19-for-25 for 210 yards in the loss

Impressive Finish Missouri State closed out its first perfect home campaign since 1992 with a 3-0 win over No. 17 North Dakota State in the season finale.

The Bears, who finished 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the MVFC, outgained the eventual national quarterfinalists of NDSU 334-120 on senior day at Plaster Field and finished the season with a 5-0 record at home.

Douglas led all players with 122 rushing yards on 19 carries to pace the Bears. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season (1,051) early in the fourth quarter to become the 10th MSU player --and first since 2004 -- to do so.

The shutout victory was Missouri State’s first since a 45-0 victory over Union on Sept. 18, 2004, the first by the Bears under Terry Allen and the first over a Division I opponent since a 61-0 win over Prairie View A&M on Sept. 21, 1991.

The low-scoring affair was not typical for either team, especially the Bears who entered the game 16th in the nation at 33.1 points per game.

It looked as if Allen’s squad would be able to put its normal amount of points on the board early as the Bears took the game’s opening drive 66 yards to the NDSU 14 before a missed a 31-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right to kill the 13-play drive that consumed nearly five-and-a-half minutes.

Missouri State allowed just two first downs in a scoreless first half but missed three field goal attempts.

MSU opened the second half with a sky kick that Brian Berry recovered for MSU at the North Dakota State 38. Six plays later, Austin Witmer redeemed himself with a successful 22-yard field goal that would prove to be the only score of the game.

The Bison later threatened with a third-quarter drive. The windy conditions pushed a 38-yard Ryan Jastram kick wide right with 23 seconds left in the third quarter to kill a 14-play, potential game-tying drive. It was the longest drive of the afternoon for NDSU which did not cross the Missouri State 45 at any other point in the contest.

After taking the lead, the Bears punted on five straight possessions, including a 35-yarder by Jordan Chiles to pin the Bison in at their own 33 with 1:06 left in the game. On second-and-six, Dante Perez rolled to his right and threw the game’s final pass into the hands of Missouri State senior Terian Washington who snagged his first career interception and returned it to the 23. The Bears took a knee to end the game and secure a tie for third place in the league.

NDSU was held to its lowest offensive total of the season, while star running back D.J. McNorton had a string of four straight 100yard rushing games broken. He was held to 38 yards on 16 carries.

The Bears collected 238 ground yards on 51 carries with 14 of their 19 first downs by rush. Kirby was 14-for-23 through the air for 96 yards in his final game. He finished first in conference history in pass attempts (1,172), second in completions (690), third in yards (8,183), and third in total offense (9,019).

Wooden led six MSU receivers with a team-high five catches for 43 yards. The Bears were led on defense by Wilkinson with 15 tackles, pushing him to the 100-tackle milestone for the second straight season.

Honors & Milestones To put some perspective on the odd nature of the 2010 season, certain facts cannot be ignored. Missouri State stopped three Top 25 opponents in their tracks with (20) Youngstown State and playoff qualifiers (18) Western Illinois and (17) North Dakota State all leaving Springfield with losses. The club’s first unbeaten home season since 1992 was significant, but its six road losses were all memo-

Missouri State

2010 REVIEW rable and competitive. The Bears had fourth-quarter leads in three of their defeats, losing two of those in overtime, and averaged 373 yards of total offense in their other three losses. At no other time in MSU history had the Bears gone unbeaten at home and winless on the road in the same season.

Offensively, Missouri State’s 4,680 total yards was the fourth-best season in the program’s history, and its 334 points (30.4) was the eighth-highest total ever. The Bears threw for 2,324 yards which was the seventh-highest single-season passing total ever for the program.

The 2010 season also brought to a close the careers of some of the most-talented players to ever wear the maroon and white. In all, 19 active players were recognized on senior day.

A Offensive lineman David Arkin was selected as the 110th pick e Dallas D in the 2011 NFL Draft when the Cowboys called his name as und the 13th selection of the fourth round.

SU U pick p ever and the 17th MisHe became the second-highest MSU souri State NFL draft selection.

He was named to The Sports Network, Associated Press, Walterr Camp Football Foundation, Ameri-can Football Coaches Association S and Sports Network Division I FCS All-America squads for his outstanding senior performance. He is just the third MSU player to run the gauntlet and claim firstteam All-America honors from all major selection agencies, joining Bill Walter (DT, 1991) and Wayne Boyer (K, 1996).

Arkin also earned All-MVFC honors for the fourth straight season, was named an Academic All-America second team pick and participated in the East-West Shrine Game, the NFLPA Texas vs. the Nation All-Star Game, and the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

Cody Kirby ended a stellar career as MSU signal caller. He was 690-for-1172 for 8,183 yards and 47 touchdowns in 44 career contests. He started 41 straight games to end his career and rushed 416 times for 836 yards and 33 scores. He broke nearly every MSU career passing mark and finished No. 3 all-time the in the MVFC in passing yards, No. 1 in pass attempts, No. 2 in completions and No. 3 in total offense (9,019). In 2010, he became the first Bear to record three straight 2,000-yard passing seasons, completing 179of-313 passes for 2,307 yards and 10 touchdowns. He led the Bears in scoring with 13 touchdowns and was third on the club in rushing yards with 403.

Kirby, an All-MVFC honorable mention pick, was one of seven Bears selected to the all-conference squad. Arkin and senior linebacker Antoine Wilkinson were first-teamers, while senior safety Skylar Smith joined junior receiver Jermaine Saffold on the second team. Running back Chris Douglas and senior linebacker Terian Washington joined Kirby as honorable mention honorees.

Wilkinson led the Bears in tackles for the second straight season with 100 total stops, including eight for loss and five sacks. He was on the Buck Buchanan Watch List for national defensive player of the year. The 2009 MVFC Newcomer of the Year was named MVFC Defensive Player of the Week for the team’s win over No. 17 North Dakota State in the season finale after he recorded 15 tackles and became the first MSU player since P.J. Jones (2000-01) to notch back-to-back 100-tackles seasons.

Game

Sept. 11, 2010, Snyder Family Std, Manhattan, Kan.

Missouri State Bears ....................................... 24 Kansas State Wildcats .................................... 48

Thanks in part to an 86-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter by junior Chris Douglas, Missouri State rolled to a 31-9 home win over Eastern Kentucky in the season opener for both teams.

Douglas finished with a career-high 128 rushing yards on just 10 carries as the Bears won their home opener for the 10th time in 11 seasons and Douglas eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the second game in a row, dating back to last year.

The Bears outgained the Colonels on the ground 189 to 35, including three rushing touchdowns -- one by Douglas and two by quarterback Cody Kirby.

The game was originally scheduled to be played Thursday night but was postponed to Friday afternoon after a three-hour lightning delay.

After punting on their first four possessions of the game, the Bears executed a well-orchestrated scoring drive on their first drive of the second period. The 11-play, 80-yard drive was capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Kirby, the 21st rushing touchdown of his career to erase an early 3-0 deficit.

Logan O’Connor recorded field goals of 34, 32 and 47 yards in the first half for the Colonels, the second of which made it a 7-6 game with 8:09 remaining in the half.

But the Bears bounced off the canvas again two drives later when Douglas scampered 86 yards on the first play of the team’s seventh drive of the first half. The run tied for the fifth-longest in school history -- and longest by any Bear under Terry Allen -- and gave MSU a 14-6 lead at the time.

Jordan Chiles knocked through a 43-yard field goal with 1:21 left in the second quarter to make it 17-6, and the Colonels rallied for a 51-yard scoring drive in the final 81 seconds of the first half on O’Connor’s third field goal of the half to make it 17-9.

The second half belonged to Missouri State as Terry Allen’s squad scored on two of first three possessions of the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

Kirby capped another 80-yard drive at the 5:39 mark of the third with a three-yard TD scamper, pushing him past DeAndre Smith (1987-90) for the team’s career lead in touchdowns accounted for with 59. Kirby’s score made it a 24-9 game, and then the Bears took advantage of good field position to eclipse the 30-point mark for just the third time in 10 games.

Missouri State’s Kirby finished 15-for-25 for 199 yards and no interceptions. Saffold and Cadarrius Dotson each snagged four receptions for 67 and 32 yards, respectively, and Stephen Johnston tallied 48 ground yards to supplement Douglas.

EKU was led by T.J. Pryor who was 22-for-47 for 315 yards. He was in on 62 total plays to account for 330 yards of total offense.

Missouri State rolled up 447 total yards and scored three times in the second half, including 99-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, in a 48-24 road loss to Kansas State in non-conference play.

The Bears fell behind 41-10 in the third quarter but cut the deficit to 17 after quarterback Cody Kirby connected with an 11-yard touchdown strike to Trevor Wooden on a fourth-and-goal play with 3:17 to go in the game. The touchdown pass made it 41-24 and capped what was essentially a 99 ½ yard touchdown drive that started at the Missouri State one and was moved half the distance to the goal on a false start penalty before the first snap. The drive took 18 plays.

Kirby finished with 281 passing yards, 333 yards total offense and a pair of touchdowns to earn Valley Offensive Player of the Week honors. Jermaine Saffold was his top target with a game-high eight catches for 113 yards, his second career 100-yard game. Left tackle David Arkin also earned a league award as MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week after grading out at 85 percent.

Missouri State dug a 20-0 hole in the early going before Kirby and Saffold connected on a 66-yard touchdown strike with 1:22 to go in the first half. The 80-yard touchdown drive took just three plays and less than a minute.

Moments later, K-State rallied 68 yards on four plays to close out the half with Carson Coffman’s second touchdown pass of the period to make it 27-7 at the break.

Kansas State added to its lead early in the second half, going 80 yards on seven plays with Coffman’s third touchdown pass of the game, connecting with Brodrick Smith for a second time, this time from seven yards out to make it 34-7.

Missouri State answered with a 22-yard field goal by Jordan Chiles at the 4:18 mark of the third to make it 34-10.

As it did all night, Kansas State answered an MSU score on its ensuing drive, converting a third-and-20 on the way to an 8-play, 56-yard touchdown drive that culminated in a 21-yard scoring run by Daniel Thomas. Thomas finished with a game-high 137 yards on 21 carries and a pair of touchdowns.

On the second play of the fourth quarter, the Bears made it 41-17 on a one-yard touchdown run by Chris Douglas. Douglas appeared to be stopped in his tracks at the three, but spun away from a defender to cap a 74-yard scoring drive that took 100 seconds and five plays.

The announced attendance of 48,672 marked the fourth-largest crowd ever for a Missouri State game.

Missouri State Bears ........................................ 41 (25) Illinois State Redbirds ................ 2ot...44

A high-scoring game of comebacks ended in a disappointing 44-41 loss in double overtime for the Bears in their Missouri Valley Football Conference opener at No. 25 Illinois State.

The nationally-televised game on FOX College Sports saw 957 yards of total offense, including 418 by the Bears, in a shootout that included two ties and three lead changes.

Trailing 34-31, the Bears took over at their own 27 with 2:02 to go and marched 64 yards on 10 plays before settling for the game-tying field goal by Jordan Chiles as time expired in regulation. The 26-yard kick capped an impressive drive by Cody Kirby that took 10 plays and saw the Bears advance to the nine-yard line. Kirby’s pass intended for Jermaine Saffold in the endzone with 7.1 seconds to go sailed just high to set up the tying field goal.

In overtime, it took ISU just two plays to convert a touchdown as Ashton Leggett carried six yards to make it 41-34 after Matt Brown completed a 19-yard strike to Marvon Sanders on the first play.

The Bears, who chose to go on defense first after winning the toss, got a 24-yard completion from Kirby to Matt Thayer to the one-yard line on their first play, followed by a one-yard TD run by Kirby, tying his career-high three rushing touchdowns and tying the game, 41-41.

In the second overtime, Chiles missed a 42-yard field goal attempt, wide left, after the Bears failed to gain any ground on three plays. Illinois State then went conservative and gained just three yards before turning the game over to Steven Fitzer who connected on a game-winning 39-yard field goal, his third of the night.

The Bears last-minute rally gave Kirby 187 passing yards on the night with 84 yards on the ground. Stephen Johnston had a game-high and career-high 88 yards on 19 carries to lead the Bears who also got 50 yards on 13 carries from Chris Douglas.

Adam Beauchamp led the Bears with a career-high 15 tackles, including 10 solos, while Terian Washington and Sam Block contributed 10 stops apiece.

ISU ran 92 offensive plays, the most by any opponent vs. MSU under Allen.

(20) Youngstown State Penguins .............. 25 Missouri State Bears........................................35

Missouri State dug itself out of a double-figure deficit to turn back visiting Youngstown State, 35-25, in the Bears’ first win over a ranked foe in three years.

The Bears scored 28 straight points after falling behind 17-0 in the first quarter, thanks in part to early touchdown runs of 71 and five yards by YSU’s Jamaine Cook.

The sophomore finished with a game-high 167 yards on 26 carries for the 20thranked Penguins.

The Bears rallied behind a second quarter touchdown by Cadarrius Dotson to make it 17-7 with 13:43 to go in the first half as he made a diving catch in the end zone on a 30-yard strike from Cody Kirby. Later in the quarter, the Bears drove 72 yards to the YSU 10-yard line before a Jordan Chiles field goal attempt sailed left.

Youngstown ran out the clock to end the half, but the Bears seemed to regroup at the intermission, and soon reeled off 21 more unanswered points.

With 3:37 to go in the third, the Bears downed a punt at the Penguins’ two-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, YSU quarterback Kurt Hess fumbled the snap in the paint, allowing Howard Scarborough the opportunity to put MSU on the board with the end zone fumble recovery and make it a 17-14 game.

On YSU’s next drive, Adam Beauchamp stepped in front of a YSU receiver on a key third-and-six play and returned it for a touchdown to give the Bears the lead. It was the senior’s first interception at Missouri State, and his 40-yard return for a score was the second-longest of the season for the Bears.

Beauchamp finished with a team-high 10 tackles and two pass break-ups.

Terry Allen’s team was not content with the 21-17 lead, and drive 56 yards on five plays on the first series of the fourth quarter, capped by a 22-yard touchdown run

by Chris Douglas. The drive was set up by a key defensive stand that stopped the Penguins cold at their own 44 on a fourth-and-one rushing play. Douglas’ run made it 28-17 with 11:37 to go.

Youngstown State end a nine-possession scoring drought on the next series by marching 76 yards on nine plays to stay in the game. A two-yard score by Jordan Thompson made it a 28-25 game with 7:41 to go after Hess squeezed across the plane on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt.

But once again, the Bears roared back and mounted an impressive drive of their own, as Kirby drove Missouri State 72 yards on eight plays for the game-clinching score. A 43-yard strike to Jermaine Saffold with 3:33 left in the contest sealed the deal and made it a 35-25 game late.

Saffold and Dotson finished with 114 and 103 receiving yards, respectively, for MSU to mark the first time two Bears posted 100-yard games since Nov. 8, 2003.

Missouri State Bears .......................................59 Murray State Racers ..........................................72

Missouri State scored on nine of its first 10 possessions and seemed to be in command before three straight turnovers in the fourth quarter opened the door for Murray State in a 72-59 non-conference road loss.

The Bears jumped out to a 21-3 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game and eventually built a 38-31 lead at the half with 779 combined yards in the first half.

The second half started much the same way with the Bears building a 52-38 advantage with 2:22 to go in the third on a 10-yard run by Chris Douglas, his second score of the game. Douglas finished with 191 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns. His 97-yard touchdown run from scrimmage in the first quarter matched the second-longest run in school history.

After the Bears built the 14-point lead with just over 17 minutes to play, Murray State scored five of the game’s last six touchdowns from there. Four of those scores were set up by Missouri State mistakes, starting with a Murray State on-sides kick, followed by a Bears fumble at their own 20 on their second possession of the fourth quarter, and capped by two mishandled kickoff returns that led to Racers touchdown drives of 30 and 36 yards.

Despite the miscues, the Bears drove to the Murray State 13 with just over four minutes to go in the game. However, the Bears failed to cut into the 13-point deficit when a 12-yard sack on fourth-and-eight ended the threat at the Racers 25.

Casey Brockman broke Murray State single-game records for yards (570) and TD passes (7). He completed 32 of 41 passes with no interceptions.

Cody Kirby was the offensive star for the Bears, collecting four rushing touchdowns, a career high. He was an efficient 10-for-14 through the air for 171 yards and no interceptions to break the MSU career passing record (7,012) and become just the 10th passer in Missouri Valley Football Conference history to surpass 7,000 yards.

Oct. 16, 2010, Memorial Stadium, Terre Haute, Ind.

Missouri State Bears........................................35 Indiana State Sycamores .................... ot 38

The third overtime game in the last five meetings in Terre Haute saw Indiana State hold off visiting Missouri State, 38-35.

The Bears built a 35-21 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana State scored 17 unanswered points to claim the win.

The game-winner came on a 32-yard field goal by Cory Little on Indiana State’s possession in overtime. The Sycamores’ initial drive in extra time stalled at the MSU 14, which led to the field goal attempt by Little.

It looked as if the Bears had an opportunity for victory on the next possession as Stephen Johnston carried four times for 14 yards to get the ball to the ISU five. On fourth-and-two from the five, the Bears sent back the field goal unit to go for the win.

However, a false start penalty pushed the ball back to the 10-yard line and brought on Jordan Chiles for a 27-yard field goal attempt.

Chiles’ kick missed left, and Indiana State completed the comeback with the narrow overtime decision.

The Sycamores outgained the Bears 508-400, despite a 207-197 edge on the ground by the Bears. Johnston posted his second straight 100-yard game for MSU, carrying 22 times for 112 yards.

After coming from behind to tie the game three times in the first half, the Bears used a 74-yard drive to take their first lead early in the third quarter. Johnston carried a bulk of the load on the series, including a 19-yard touchdown run with 5:26 on the clock. The seven-play series took just under three minutes and also included great passes from Cody Kirby to Saffold and Trevor Wooden.

The ensuing drive by ISU stalled at the Missouri State 21, and the Bears capitalized quickly. A 56-yard pass on third down from Kirby to Saffold set the Bears up at the Sycamore 17 with 14:08 to play in regulation. Two plays later, Kirby rushed for his second TD of the game - from 13 yards out - to make it a 35-21 ball game at the 13:05 mark. The 78-yard scoring drive took just five plays.

A 35-yard touchdown pass by the Sycamores with 6:31 to go tied the game, 35-35.

The Bears had a chance to win it in regulation with 2:20 to play when Chiles attempted a 48-yard field goal from the right hash and missed it just wide right. ISU took over on its own 31 with 2:15 on the clock, but the Bears’ defense held ISU to a three-and-out, and neither team could capitalize from there, sending the game into overtime.

(18) Western Illinois Leathernecks.......... 28 Missouri State Bears.........................................31

Missouri State rushed for 351 yards and boasted a pair of 100-yard rushers for the second time in three weeks to turn back No. 18 Western Illinois, 31-28, on the Bears’ homecoming.

Junior Chris Douglas had a game-high 165 yards on 18 carries, including a 71-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, to lead the way for Terry Allen’s squad.

Classmate Stephen Johnston also carried 18 times and finished with 130 ground yards for his third straight 100-yard effort.

The Missouri Valley Football Conference win for Missouri State was its fourth in a row at Plaster Field.

After holding a 21-14 halftime lead, the Bears forced Western Illinois to punt on its first three possessions of the second half. However, the Leathernecks retaliated early in the fourth quarter, driving 67 yards on nine plays to tie the game on an eight-yard keeper by quarterback Matt Barr with 12:21 left in the game.

That’s when the Bears’ took the lead for good. On the third play of the ensuing drive, Douglas broke a 71-yard touchdown run to put the Bears up 28-21 and give MSU a lead it would never relinquish. The dash by Douglas was his fourth carry of the season of more than 50 yards.

Douglas has now scored in six games this season and in eight of the team’s last nine overall.

A 35-yard field goal by freshman Austin Witmer on MSU’s next possession extended its advantage to 31-21 with 4:21 to left. It was Witmer’s first career field goal.

The Leathernecks kept their hopes alive with a 76-yard touchdown drive moments later. The 44-second scoring effort took just four plays and made it a three-point game after Lito Senatus sprung free for a 38-yard completion from Matt Barr.

Senatus finished with a game-high 180 receiving yards on seven receptions. Barr was 21-for-30 for 402 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He was sacked four times.

After WIU kicked off deep with 3:32 to go, the Bears were able to eat away all but six seconds before punting to the Leathernecks’ 10 yard line. A last minute, desperation pass by Barr was complete to the MSU 45, but Antoine Wilkinson and Skylar Smith were there to make the tackle and preserve the win.

Wilkinson, a Buck Buchanan Watch List finalist, finished with 14 tackles and a sack to lead Missouri State’s defense which held WIU to just 94 rushing yards on 34 attempts. Jimmie Strong also had two interceptions for the Bears.

Kirby was 14-for-22 passing for 157 yards and a touchdown. He was sacked just once and eclipsed 8,000 career yards in total offense.

Southern Illinois Salukis ................................ 41 Missouri State Bears.........................................51

Cody Kirby passed for a career-high 348 yards, and Chris Douglas scored three touchdowns to lead Missouri State past visiting Southern Illinois.

The Bears, who won their fifth straight game at Plaster Field and overcame an early 9-0 deficit, took their first lead early in the third quarter. After the Salukis took the opening kickoff of the second half to their own 36, Derek Miller snagged his seventh career interception three plays later to turn the tides.

Miller gave the Bears a short field to work with, and seven plays later, Austin Witmer knocked through a 27-yard field goal to give MSU a 20-19 lead with 12:18 left in the third.

Terry Allen’s Bears then scored on their next two possessions to extend their lead to 34-19. An SIU fumble set up a two-yard touchdown run by Douglas to cap a 28-yard drive, and an impressive 89-yard touchdown drive that concluded with a two-yard scoring pass from Kirby to Wes Miller gave Missouri State its biggest lead of the afternoon.

The Salukis would eventually tie the game, 41-41, with 11:23 to go, but the Bears’ defense held SIU to a three-and-out after a 30-yard field goal by Witmer gave the edge back to the home team. Trailing 44-41, SIU then turned the ball over on downs with 7:03 remaining, giving MSU the ball on its own 36.

Kirby then took over, completing three of four passes for 35 yards and rushing for nine more to set up an eight-yard touchdown run by Chris Douglas with 2:20 to go and secure a 51-41 win. The game-winning 64-yard drive took 10 plays, but more importantly, ate 4:49 off the clock in an otherwise high-flying affair.

Southern Illinois would turn the ball over on downs on their final possession after a pair of MSU sacks neutralized any hopes of a late comeback.

Kirby was 24-for-36 passing with a pair of touchdown strikes, while Douglas posted a team-best 86 yards on 15 carries. Missouri State finished with 495 yards of total offense, including 384 by Kirby. Jermaine Saffold caught nine passes to lead seven MSU pass receivers. He finished with a career-high 176 receiving yards. Witmer, in his first career start, scored 15 points, including three field goals.

Missouri State Bears.........................................14 (16) Northern Iowa Panthers ........................38

In a game of missed opportunities, the Missouri State Bears (4-5, 3-3) were shut out in the second half to fall 31-10 to South Dakota State here Saturday in Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

The Bears seemed poised for a comeback after trailing 16-10 at the half, using the ground game to set up a pair of long drives early in the third.

Missouri State’s opening drive of the second half gained 59 yards but stalled at the SDSU 21 on a failed fourth-down conversion. The Jackrabbits (4-5, 4-3) then extended their lead to 14 points 12 plays later. Thomas O’Brien made it 24-10 with 5:19 to go in the third when he connected with Trevor Tiefenthaler from four yards out to cap the 79-yard drive.

MSU failed to convert another fourth-down play on its only other possession of the third period after driving all the way to the SDSU 36. In the fourth, the Bears turned it over on downs at their own 36 and could not compile a substantial drive down the stretch to fall short.

South Dakota State added an interception return for a score with 2:04 to go by Cole Brodie to put the game on ice.

The Bears were outgained 347-318 but owned a 151-143 edge on the ground.

Stephen Johnston carried 13 times for 65 yards to lead the way, while Chris Douglas added 54 yards on eight carries.

SDSU was led Kyle Minett who posted his eighth straight 100-yard rushing game, finishing with 111 yards on 29 carries, while Thomas O’Brien added 204 yards through the air on 20-of-30 passing.

Cody Kirby, who became the first MSU passer to compile three 2,000-yard passing seasons, finished 15-for-37 for 167 yards.

The Bears were led on defense by Adam Beauchamp who notched a career-high 18 tackles, while Antoine Wilkinson brought down 12 Jackrabbits on the day.

In the first quarter, the Bears held the Jackrabitts to a pair of three-and-out drives to start the game while converting an early scoring drive of their own to take the lead.

A nine-play, 32-yard drive set up a career-long 42-yard field goal by freshman Austin Witmer to give Missouri State an early 3-0 advantage with 10:13 on the first-quarter clock.

But SDSU bounced back with a nine-play scoring drive of its own and capped the effort with a three-yard touchdown run by Tyler Duffy. The Jackrabbits missed the extra point to make it a 6-3 game at the 4:06 mark.

The missed extra point appeared it would have an impact in an early back-andforth battle, but after Douglas made it a 13-10 game with 4:42 left in the second, SDSU reeled off 18 unanswered points to close out the game.

UNI quarterback Tirrell Rennie, and the Panthers’ special teams accounted for all five touchdowns in the Bears’ 38-14 loss, as UNI clinched the MVFC title.

Rennie was 8-for-10 passing for 161 yards and three touchdowns. The junior also rushed for 75 yards on 15 carries. The UNI special teams contributed the other two scores after they returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a score and recovered a pivotal blocked punt in the end zone late in the first half for a touchdown.

The Bears outgained the Panthers 355 to 342 in total yards, but failed to score on two red zone trips and had another drive stall at the UNI 31. Cody Kirby was 19-for25 passing for 210 yards and an interception. He also had a one-yard touchdown run.

Chris Douglas had 92 rushing yards and Stephen Johnston had 101 total yards, 64 receiving and 37 rushing, and an 18-yard TD run.

The Panthers jumped out early when Carlos Anderson returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. It was his second kick return for a score this season.

The Bears answered immediately with an impressive, 14-play, 79-yard touchdown drive that consumed 6:34. Two Cody Kirby quarterback sneaks were key to the drive; one that converted a fourth-and-one and another that punctuated the drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge.

The tie did not last. Two plays and 77 yards later, it was a 14-7 UNI lead. Matt Strathman rushed for 27 yards before Rennie connected on a 50-yard touchdown pass to Jarred Herring, who made an over-the-shoulder catch behind the defense.

Justin Fuselier later sparked the Bears with a 49-yard punt return to the UNI 33.

The return was a career-high for Fuselier and the longest by a Bear since 2006.

Three Stephen Johnston carries later and the score was tied at 14-14.

Early in the second quarter, the Panthers took the lead for good when Rennie threw another touchdown pass, this time a 30-yard connection to Maurice Turner.

The Bears moved the ball on their ensuing drive, but too many mistakes kept them out of the end zone. On the drive, MSU was called for holding three times, one of which negated a Chris Douglas 53-yard touchdown run. It looked as though the Bears would overcome the miscues when Stephen Johnston took a screen pass 46 yards to the UNI 17, but Cody Kirby threw an interception three plays later.

Late in the first half, the Bears were positioned to cut into the deficit when Kirby started a two-minute drill. He completed his first five passes of the drive to move from the MSU 36 to the UNI 14. After two incompletions in the end zone, Kirby found Wooden for an eight-yard gain to the UNI 6, but the freshman could not get out of bounds and the Bears, out of timeouts, could only watch the first-half time expire.

The Bears moved down to the UNI 31 on their second possession after halftime, but did not score in the second period and could inch no closer.

2010 REVIEW Game

Nov. 20, 2010, Plaster Field, Springfield, Mo.

(17) North Dakota State Bison .........................0 Missouri State Bears...........................................3

Missouri State closed out its first perfect home campaign since 1992 with a 3-0 win over No. 17 North Dakota State in Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

The Bears (5-6, 4-4) outgained eventual Division I playoff quarterfinalist NDSU (7-4, 4-4) 334-120 on senior day at Plaster Field and finished the season with a 5-0 record at home. The win extended MSU’s overall home win streak to six games.

Junior Chris Douglas led all players with 122 rushing yards on 19 carries to pace the Bears. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season early in the fourth quarter to become the 10th MSU player and first since 2004 to do so.

The shutout victory was Missouri State’s first since a 45-0 victory over Union on Sept. 18, 2004 and first by the Bears under Terry Allen. It was also MSU’s first shutout over a Division I foe since a 61-0 win over Prairie View A&M in 1991.

The low-scoring affair was not typical for either team, especially the Bears who entered the game 16th in the nation at 33.1 points per game.

Early on, it looked as if Allen’s squad would be able to put its normal amount of points on the board. The Bears took the game’s opening drive 66 yards to the NDSU 14 before a missed a 31-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right to kill the 13-play drive that consumed nearly five-and-a-half minutes.

Missouri State allowed just two first downs in a scoreless first half.

MSU opened the second half with a sky kick that Brian Berry recovered for MSU at the North Dakota State 38. Six plays later, Austin Witmer redeemed himself after three missed field goals in the first half with a successful 22-yard kick.

That score held up despite a threatening drive by the Bison late in the third quarter. The windy conditions pushed a 38-yard Ryan Jastram kick wide right with 23 seconds left in the third quarter to kill a 14-play, potential game-tying drive. It was the longest drive of the afternoon for NDSU which did not cross the Missouri State 45 at any other point in the contest.

After the Witmer field goal, the Bears punted on five straight possessions, including a 35-yarder by Jordan Chiles to pin the Bison in at their own 33 with 1:06 left in the game. On second-and-six, Dante Perez rolled to his right and threw the game’s final pass into the hands of Missouri State’s Terian Washington who snagged his first career interception and returned it to the 23. The Bears took a knee to end the game and cap a 4-4 season in the MVFC to tie for third place.

NDSU star running back D.J. McNorton had a string of four straight 100-yard rushing games broken. He was held to just 38 yards on 16 carries, while a combination of three Bison quarterbacks finished 12-for-24 for 78 yards.

The Bears collected 238 ground yards on 51 carries with 14 of their 19 first downs by rush. Senior quarterback Cody Kirby was 14-for-23 through the air for 96 yards in his final game. He finished first in conference history in pass attempts (1,172), second in completions (690), third in yards (8,183), and third in total offense (9,019).

Trevor Wooden led six MSU receivers with a team-high five catches for 43 yards.

The Bears were led on defense by Antoine Wilkinson with 15 tackles, pushing him to the 100-tackle milestone for the second straight season.

2011 Football Guide Spring April 16, 2011, Plaster Field, Springfield White (offense) ...................................................38 Game Maroon (defense) ..............................................53 Using an elaborate scoring system, the Missouri State defense outscored the offense, 53-38, here Saturday in the annual Maroon and White Spring Game at Plaster Field. However, the offense showed consistency in rolling up 312 yards on 74 plays and accounting for three touchdowns and a field goal.

Leading the way for the victorious defense were Chris Moses and Darius Blow who had 8 and 7 tackles, respectively. Blow had a team-high three tackles for loss and a fumble recovery, while Moses was in on 1.5 TFLs and accounted for one of eight pass break-ups by the maroon-clad defensive squad.

Redshirt freshmen Caleb Schafitzel and Mike Crutcher also pitched in six and five stops, respectively, while Andrew Beisel had the game’s only interception, and walkon Keenan Berry came up with a key fumble recovery deep in Maroon territory.

The White squad put up the first big points of the afternoon on a 10-yard touchdown run by Chris Douglas in the first quarter, but the Maroon countered less than four minutes later with a team safety against the second-team offense.

Douglas tacked on his second touchdown run of the day early in the third period on a four-yard carry, and first-team quarterback Trevor Wooden added six more for the offense with a 59-yard touchdown run just over three minutes later.

Austin Witmer added a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to conclude the traditional scoring. Witmer was also a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points.

Even though there were no punting or kickoff plays, the defensive unit collected a point for each of the 12 possessions it forced the offense into a punting situation. The Maroon also tallied three points apiece for forcing the offense into six three-and-out possessions, and seven points for each of its three forced turnovers. The safety in the first quarter gave the Maroon squad a total of 53 points.

The offense collected its 38 points on three touchdowns, a field goal, and a point for each of its 14 first downs. Wooden finished with 178 yards of total offense. He was 7-for-17 passing for 95 yards to go with 10 carries for 83 yards.

Missouri State Pro Day

The 2011 NFL Scouting Combine was held Feb. 24 to March 1 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.

Missouri State’s David Arkin was one of 56 offensive linemen who participated in the Scouting Combine (40 were drafted). A summary of his performances and rank among the 2011 Combine class are below:

VALLEY FOOTBALL

Welcome to Valley Football The past five seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Within that span, the league has lost a member, gained three 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 27th 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 26 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 27th season in 2011.

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

108

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

In 2010, three MVFC squads played for the Division I Football Championship, including national quarterfinalist North Dakota State as well as second-round participant Western Illinois and regular-season champion UNI. 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 Division I conferences. During the past 15 years, the league has two national championships, and eight other semifinal trips. The league’s 39-30 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.

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 Division I 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.

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.

In 2006, Youngstown State won its secondstraight league championship and the Penguins were joined in the playoff field by Illinois

Missouri State

VALLEY FOOTBALL State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16team playoff field. SIU’s Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was third in the Walter Payton Award balloting.

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.

In the 26 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

2011 Football Guide

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. In November of 2010, Commissioner Patty Viverito announced that South Dakota will join the league in 2012, bringing membership to 10 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).

Five Missouri Valley Football Conference members also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference (Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and Southern

Illinois). Three league schools compete in the Summit League (North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois), while Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League for its other sports.

In its decade of operation, the Gateway sponsored championships in ten women’s sports and football. The women’s sports were basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track & field, swimming and diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and even field hockey in the early years of the league.

Certainly the future of the MVFC is a solid ground as it pushes into its 27th season.

Mineral Water Bowl

December 4, 1948, Kansas City, Mo.

November 30, 1963, Excelsior Springs, Mo.

November 26, 1966, Excelsior Springs, Mo.

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

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

The 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.

November 25, 1989, Springfield, Mo.

December 2, 1989, Nacogdoches, Texas

November 24, 1990, Springfield, Mo.

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.

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.

When the Missouri State Bears traveled to Murray State on Oct. 9, 2010, one of the most exciting games in Division I FCS history emerged after the 3 hour, 9 minute battle of attrition saw the Racers prevail 72-59.

Among the many school records broken in the game, most notable was a national record for combined total offense. The Bears accounted for 607 yards of total offense on 50 plays, the 11th-highest total in school history, while Murray State tallied 816 yards on an amazing 94 plays. The 1,423 combined yards established a new NCAA Division I FCS record for total yards, breaking the old standard of 1,418 set by Howard (740) vs. Bethune Cookman (678), set Sept.

19, 1987 on 161 total plays.

Murray State quarterback Casey Brockman was 32-for-41 for 570 yards and 7 touchdowns (5 to Marcus Harris) in the game, which broke school records for the latter two categories. He also finished with 586 yards of total offense, a new MSU opponent record along with an all-time high water mark for passing yards by a Bears’ foe.

Missouri State, which surrendered the final 20 points of the game to allow a 59-52 lead to slip away in the final 8:28, was led by Chris Douglas who carried 10 times for 191 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Douglas’ 97-yard run from scrimmage in the first quarter matched the second-longest in Missouri State history and set the fast track. MSU finished with 436 rushing yards on 36 carries with Douglas and Stephen Johnston (13-for-164) going over the century mark, and quarterback Cody Kirby setting a career high with 13 carries for 81 yards and four touchdowns. Kirby also passed for 171 yards on the day and was 10-for-14 through the air.

MSU Student-Athlete Code of Conduct 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.

HISTORY & RECORDS

Plaster Sports Complex

The Missouri State Bears play in one of the top FCS facilities in the country, a stadium which is 70 years old in 2011, 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

148

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 made 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 scholarathlete 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 2011 campaign is the Bears’ 69th 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 200-145-12 record for 347 games in Plaster, and the Bears have been perfect at home in six seasons in Plaster, including 1989, 1992 and 2010. The longest MSU home win streak was 20 games, compiled between 1938 and 1941.

HISTORY & RECORDS

James D. Smith

Bears in the NFL

Bears in the Pros

David Arkin Dallas Cowboys

Clay Harbor Philadelphia Eagles

Missouri State’s history of producing pro football talent dates back to 1945 and extends to today with two NFL Draft selections in as many years -- Clay Harbor to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 and David Arkin to the Cowboys in 2011. Two additional Bears earned undrafted free agent contracts in 2011 with Kolby Hurt signing with the Saints and Jake Duron landing with the New York Jets, giving MSU four active NFL players when the 2011 season opened.

Recently, Brad St. Louis played 10 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000-09. He starred for MSU at tight end from 1996-99 and played in both the East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl after his senior season prior to being drafted by the Bengals. He operated as the Bengals’ regular 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.

Missouri State Athletics Hall of Fame The Missouri State University Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1975 by then-athletics director Aldo Sebben, and the Women’s Athletics Hall of Fame was founded in 1981 by then-women’s athletics director Dr. Mary Jo Wynn. The two shrines merged and had their first joint induction in 1999. The original Hall of Fame was a joint endeavor of the MSU Letterman Alumni Association and intercollegiate athletics.
