Missouri State’s second-half struggles continued Saturday as the Bears took on No 13. South Dakota State Jackrabbits.
The first half saw oodles of points, as the two teams traded six touchdowns, but the Bears never led.
In the half, the Bears gained 280 yards offensively, scoring 24 points. The first Bears’ score came with 9:40 left in the first quarter with a 39-yard field goal from sophomore Zach Drake.
After the field goal, the Jackrabbits scored on their next offensive play, a 57-yard touchdown run. Missouri State’s offense stalled near midfield in the drive after SDSU forced the Bears to punt for the first of five times.
