Bears Win. Missouri State defeats No. 9 Illinois State

Darius Joseph. The name that everyone who thinks of this game will remember.

Joseph recorded a career-high total tackles with eight, but the cornerback blocking a game-tying field goal with four seconds left on the clock is what will be stuck in everyone’s minds.

After the blocked field goal attempt and the clock at zero, Missouri State defeated No. 9 Illinois State 24-21.

“This is just one game,” junior linebacker McNeece Egbim said. “(It’s a) hell of a team, hell of a win.”

Missouri State, who took a 10-0 lead into half, dominated on defense.
