Missouri State football kicks off at Oklahoma in a month; what to know about the Bears

Believe it or not, Missouri State football is just one month away from kicking off its season at the University of Oklahoma. Hopefully.

The Bears and Sooners are still scheduled to play Aug. 29 even with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The game will be played in Norman, Oklahoma, and the Bears' athletic program will earn $600,000 if the game is played.

In addition to the pandemic, Missouri State has had plenty of change this offseason.

Dave Steckel and Missouri State parted ways in early January after he went 13-42 in five seasons as head coach.
