I thought in the second half, the defense did a better job as far as not giving up big plays and creating turnovers.” What the second half lacked in scoring, it made up for in big plays, including a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown by sophomore linebacker Rique Bentley off a defl ected Lambert pass. The fi rst-team defense also came up with a turnover in the fourth quarter. After Harris threw a 14-yard strike to Hoover to the 11-yard line, Cole jarred the ball loose, and John Edwards picked it up for the defensive side. Seven different receivers fi nished with multiple receptions on the after- noon, including 4 grabs for 92 yards for Burton. Harris completed 15-of-20 passes overall and a pair of TD strikes for his 304-yard effort. Lambert took snaps for both sides and fi nished 7-for-16 overall for 44 yards with an interception, while Lawson was 2-for-8 for 20 yards. The aerial display minimized the effective rushing effort shown by both squads. Josh Mattes carried 10 times for a game-high 52 yards to lead the second-stringers, while Phoenix Johnson fi nished with 49 yards on 11 at- tempts, all with the fi rst unit. The teams combined for 192 ground yards on 59 carries for a 3.3 average per attempt. Andrew Beisel led the fi rst-team defense with 10 total stops, including 1.5 for loss and a sack. Cole and Christian Hoffmann tacked on 9 stops apiece with Cole registering 3 tackles for loss and the forced fumble. Redshirt freshman linebacker Erik Furmanek led the second-team defense with a game-high 11 tackles, a sack and a pass break-up. Classmate Kurran Blamey added 5 tackles. “I thought we got a lot of things accomplished (this spring),” said Al- len. “We’re a little bit of a work in progress because we had four pretty signifi cant players not participate. We gave up some plays defensively in the secondary that, with Schaffi tzel back there, they probably wouldn’t get away with.” STAT LEADERS: RUSHING: MSU2 - Josh Mattes 10-52; Julian Posey 7-25; Murphy Ward 4-25; Calan Crowder 2-20; Alex Lawson 3-(-1); Brodie Lambert 3-(-6); Team 1-(-7).

League Runners-up Overcome Slow Start

BBestest LeagueLeague FinishFinish SinceSince 19961996 At its onset, the 2013 season was one of narrow losses and frustrating endings. But after a 1-6 start, the Bears turned things around in an impressive way in mid-October. A four-game confer- ence winning streak late in the season saw MSU drop No. 15 South Dakota State for the fi rst time in program history, rack up road conference wins at Western Illinois and Southern Illinois and bounce an upstart Indiana State team. The late-season surge gave MSU a fi nal conference ledger of 5-3 -- the program’s most league wins since 1990 -- and a four- way tie for second place in the league that has produced the last three FCS national champions. The runner-up showing was the program’s highest fi nish in the Missouri Valley Football Conference since 1996 and its fi ve losses by a touchdown or less was its most since 1995. The program was rewarded with nine all-conference selections, its most since 2004, including fi rst-team honorees Caleb Schaffi tzel and Robert Booker. Schaffi tzel, a junior, was also a consensus fi rst-team All-American safety, while Booker, a sophomore center, earned AP All-America third-team honors. Schaffi tzel also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America fi rst- team honors, the fi rst player in MSU’s Division I era to reach that milestone.

With less than a minute left in the opening half, the Bears trailed just 17-13 against the top team in the FCS. But a deep throw from Kierra Harris was picked off at the NDSU 35 and returned all the way to the Missouri State 36. To make matters worse, Harris was taken out on the play with a blow to his knee and would miss the rest of the game. Brock Jensen needed just one play to capitalize on the Bears’ mistake and found Zach Vraa for a 36-yard strike to make it 24-13 at the half. The Bears opened the second half scoring with a 19-yard inter- ception return for a touchdown by Caleb Schaffi tzel to make it 24- 20 with 13:23 to go. It marked the second straight year Schaffi tzel had recorded a “pick six” against the Bison. But the momentum was short-lived, and NDSU reeled off 17 unanswered points from there to push ahead 41-20. It wasn’t until a Glaser-led scoring drive late in the fourth quarter that MSU was able to retaliate. An 11-yard scoring pass from Glaser to Dorian Buford capped a 78-yard drive that consumed 13 plays and more than 5 minutes. It was, however, the only points allowed by NDSU in the fourth quarter all season. Likewise, MSU’s 26 points in the 41-26 decision represented the most points allowed by the Bison all season as Craig Bohl’s club went on to a 15-0 ledger and a third straight national title.

Head Coach 1912-33 Bill Walter DeLaun Fowler CB, 1992-95 CB/KR, 1994-95 DT, 1988-91 LB, 1992-95 Statistical Notes Springfi eld’s Evangel University used Plaster Field for most home games from 1988 to 2000 and is the only other collegiate tenant of the Bears’ facility included in stadium records. The NCAA didn’t require kickoff and punt return stats until 1970, making return records in- complete on many former players, notably Bears TB Cornelius Perry (1963-65) who returned fi ve kickoffs for TDs and had several other long runbacks in three seasons at Missouri State. Defensive statistics on tackles were fi rst maintained in 1972. Complete Missouri State season stats are only available from 1956 to the present, and complete single game stats are available only from 1972 to the present. Morgan Trokey Dennis Heim Prior to 2002, postseason stats were listed as playoff/bowl game records, but were not in- Corky Martin Jordan Chiles DE, , 1971976-78678 DT, 1974-771974774 cluded in regular season NCAA stats. From an MSU standpoint, this affects the NCAA season LB,, 19971997-0000 P, 2008-11 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 in 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.
