Hot Finish Overshadows Early-Season Woes
RRareare SShothot atat thethe ContendersContenders The Bears opened the campaign with the best that college foot- ball had to offer in 2012. In fact, MSU was the only team in college football to play two Top 25 FBS foes in non-conference play. A season-opener at No. 22 Kansas State and Heisman candidate Collin Klein preceded a trip to No. 23 Louisville and its highly-ac- claimed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in early September. Both the Wildcats and Cardinals fi nished 11-2 overall and landed in BCS bowls in January with the clubs fi nishing 12 and 13, respectively, in the fi nal AP poll. The Bears were game to take on the Wildcats in Manhattan on Sept. 1 and matched K-State punch for punch in the early rounds. Austin Witmer kicked three fi eld goals -- from 24, 35 and 26 yards. His fi nal 3-pointer of the night with 10:43 left in the third quarter knotted the game, 9-9, and kept the biased crowd of 50,007 in check. Klein broke the deadlock on a key third-and-18 play midway through the third quarter. An 18-yard TD pass to Tramaine Thomp- son broke the tie and put the Wildcats up 16-9, a score that held until early in the fourth period. In the fi nal stanza, the Wildcats used their depth to pull away, reeling off 35 points in the period -- and the fi nal 42 points of the game -- to claim a 51-9 victory. Missouri transfer Ashton Glaser fi nished his MSU debut 22-for- 44 through the air for 257 yards. Dorian Buford collected 7 recep- tions for 114 yards, and Cadarrius Dotson was equally impressive with 6 catches for 82 yards. The Bears collected 418 total yards, compared to 493 by the Wildcats, with Nate Davis’ 12 tackles pacing a rugged MSU defen- sive unit. For his part, Klein fi nished 19-for-28 for 169 yards and a pair of touchdowns to jump start his memorable season. The following week, the Bears again held their own early against a much more physical Louisville team. Down 18-0 late in the second quarter, the Bears rallied with a 73-yard touchdown drive In his fi rst Missouri State appearance, Ashton Glaser threw for 257 yards at No. just before the intermission, capped by a 6-yard pass from Glaser 22 Kansas State.

However, whatever regrouping the Bears drove to the Saluki 34 on the ensuing drive. With the potential intended to do in the second half never developed, and the visitors could get no traction. MSU turned the ball over four times in the second half, including three interceptions by Glaser, the last of which killed a fourth-quarter drive to the SDSU 17-yard line. Earlier, South Dakota State capitalized on another MSU mishap, covering 24 yards on just four plays after Glaser’s third pick of the contest. Brandon Hubert snagged an 8-yard touchdown pass from Austin Sumner with 11:34 left in the game to make it a 17-7 game. That’s all the scoring the Jackrabbits would need as Zenner fi n- ished with 182 yards on 30 carries (6.1 ypc), while MSU’s Heaston overshadowed the top running back in the FCS ranks by posting 148 yards on 20 carries (7.4 ypc). Heaston fi nished with 183 all- purpose yards and turned heads nationally with his efforts. Nate Davis and Caleb Schaffi tzel combined for 25 total tackles to pace the MSU defense with Davis contributing a sack, 12 solo tackles and 14 stops in the game. The next week at Indiana State, the Bears’ mishaps continued in the fi rst half with MSU coughing up three turnovers in the fi rst 30 minutes to fall behind 14-7 at the intermission in Terre Haute. Backup quarterback Kierra Harris then jump started the offense, engineering scoring drives on Missouri State’s fi rst two posses- sions of the third quarter. A partially-blocked punt set the Bears up in ISU territory early in the second half and led to a 38-yard fi eld goal by Witmer to make it a 14-10 game. Less than four minutes later, Harris hit Matt Thayer from 2 yards out to cap a 56-yard scoring drive and put the visitors ahead for the fi rst time, 17-14, with 4:53 left in the third. But the league’s returning Offensive Player of the Year, Shakir Bell, put the Sycamores on his shoulders and turned the tides. Bell had been kept in check most of the afternoon, but collected 67 yards on 8 carries on ISU’s fi rst drive of the fourth quarter, including a 24-yard touchdown. Bell fi nished with 113 yards on 25 carries. Down the stretch, ISU took advantage of a running-into-the-punt- er penalty to sustain a 54-yard scoring drive that eventually led to a 26-yard fi eld goal to make it a 31-17 game. The drive consumed nearly six minutes in all, and when the Bears tried to rally late, ISU snagged its third interception of the afternoon to end the threat and seal the two-touchdown victory. Ryan Heaston’s Plaster Field debut saw him average 5.8 yards per carry and Harris fi nished 12-for-15 for 131 yards, while Dorian Buford led a game-high 64 ground yards against Murray State.

TThehe TransformationTransformation BBeginsegins Even though the Bears were competitive at times during all six of their losses to start the 2013 season, it was evident in mid-October that MSU was on the verge of a breakthrough. That breakthrough came in a big way on Oct. 13 when Missouri State entertained league newcomer South Dakota and saved its best for last. The Bears, who trailed 21-3 at halftime, scored 17 points over the fi nal fi ve-and-a-half minutes to post their fi rst win of the 2012 season in dramatic fashion. Missouri State, which entered play without having scored in the fourth quarter all season, mustered just 283 yards of total offense on the day, including 173 yards in the fi nal period. The Bears also played turnover-free football for the fi rst time in 2012. Sophomore quarterback Kierra Harris turned in a strong performance in his fi rst starting assignment of the season, fi nish- ing 20-of-33 for 214 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Julian Burton, the MVC Special Teams Player of the Week, totaled 166 all-purpose yards, including three punt returns for 68 yards and four receptions for 98 yards. Harris led the Bears’ late charge, connecting with Burton on a 60-yard scoring strike with 5:27 to play, then fi nding Eric Chris- tophel from 25 yards out on the equalizing touchdown with just under two minutes left on the clock. The Bears’ defense also came up big late in the contest, as Andrew Beisel and Mike Crutcher teamed up to force a critical fumble that ultimately led to Christophel’s game-tying touchdown. MSU then came up with a key stop on the Coyotes’ ensuing drive, and Burton’s 30-yard punt return--a Missouri State season long-- set up Austin Witmer’s second fi eld goal of the day that handed the Bears their fi rst home victory since a November 20, 2010 win Kierra Harris’ fi rst start of the season came in Week 7 when he helped the over North Dakota State.

Those recognized were: 1 - DeAndre Smith ...... QB, 1987-90 27 - Ray Hailey ...... RB, 1947-51 71 - Rich Johanningmer ...... OT/DT, 1960-63 Coach - Arthur Briggs ...... Head Coach 1912-33
Willie Parks Robbie Fresquez Statistical Notes Bill Walter DeLaun Fowler CB, 1992-95 CB/KR, 1994-95 Springfi eld’s Evangel University used Plaster Field for most home games from DT, 1988-91 LB, 1992-95 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 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. Prior to 2002, postseason stats were listed as playoff/bowl game records, but were Morgan Trokey Dennis Heim not included in regular season NCAA stats. From an MSU standpoint, this affects the Corky Martin Jordan Chiles DE,E, 1976-781976-78678 DT, 1974-771974-774 NCAA season and career stats of people who played in the Bears’ three NCAA FCS LB,, 1997-001997 00 P, 2008-11 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.
