Senior Day struggle: Bears lose big to end season

It was a Senior Day to forget for the Bears on Saturday afternoon.

The Missouri State Bears lost their third consecutive game in a disappointing 65-20 loss to the Youngstown State Penguins at Plaster Stadium.

“It just came down to the fact that we didn’t show up today,” sophomore defensive back Jared Beshore said. “Effort is not enough at this level, we gotta make plays.”

The Bears struggled from start to finish against the Penguins.

Youngstown State marched down the field on their first drive of the game with senior running back Martin Ruiz rushing for a touchdown to cap a 9-play, 69-yard drive.
