Missouri State never trailed and held No. 10 Northern Iowa to just 11 first downs and 27 rushing yards in a dramatic 13-6 Bears victory here Saturday.
The win pushed the Bears to 3-1 on the spring, gave MSU its first win at the UNI-Dome since 1998 and snapped a 14-game win streak by the Panthers in the series.
Similar to last week’s win at No. 21 South Dakota, Missouri State used a bend-but-don’t-break defensive effort throughout and held UNI to two punts and two field goal attempts on the Panthers four second-half possessions. Meanwhile, Missouri State got two huge fourth-quarter plays to seal the victory.
The Bears return to Robert W. Plaster Stadium next Saturday when they host rival Southern Illinois (4-2, 3-2 MVFC) at 2 p.m.
