After falling to 12th-ranked Youngstown State (Oct. 4) and No. 19 South Dakota State (Oct. 11), the Bears embarked on back-to-back trips to No. 9 Illinois State (Oct. 25) and No. 21 Indiana State (Nov. 1). The last quarter of the season may prove even more challenging, with three-time defending national champion and current No. 4 North Dakota State coming to Springfield on Nov. 15, following MSU’s game against No. 24 Southern Illinois last week. Finally, a date with No. 12 UNI (Nov. 22) in Cedar Fals will close the regular season.

Last year, MSU faced a total of four FCS teams ranked in the Top 25, headlined by a road date with No. 1 North Dakota State (Oct. 12). The Bears also tackled a pair of ranked teams in back-to-back home games, with UCA (Sept. 21) coming to Plaster Stadium, followed by MSU’s Valley opener against Illinois State the following Saturday and its tilt with No. 15 South Dakota State (Oct. 19). UNI (Nov. 16) also spent time in the Top 10. Furthermore, four of the Bears’ seven FCS opponents last season that were not ranked in the Top 25, received votes in one poll or another during the season.

Isbell came up with a pair of key plays to help turn the tide in MSU’s 34-27 come-from-behind victory in Natchitoches. On a critical NSU first-and-goal play with just over eight minutes left in the third quarter, Isbell snatched the ball away from Demons’ running back Garrett Atzenweiler just before he crossed the goal line, giving possession back to Missouri State with the Bears trailing 24-7. Missouri State responded with a 97-yard touchdown drive—the longest drive of the week in the league—to make it a 24-14 game at the time. Later in the contest after MSU closed the deficit to 27-21, Isbell broke through the line again and blocked a 48-yard Northwestern State field goal to help pave the way for the Bears’ comeback.
