Things are changing for Missouri State football — and if you're still in denial, perhaps Saturday's win can change your mind.

Missouri State (4-4, 4-1) rallied from down 12 to come back and beat No. 10 Southern Illinois 30-27 on Saturday afternoon at Plaster Stadium.

Jose Pizano booted a 33-yard field goal with time expiring to cap off what could be a program-changing win.

The comeback keeps Missouri State in the conversation for its first postseason appearance since 1990. The Bears have now won three-straight games over ranked opponents — something they haven't done since 1989.
