Angelo Garbutt intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown with 1:29 left in the game to help seal the Missouri State defense’s 37-26 win over the offense.

It was a perfect play call that allowed Garbutt to jump the route and take the ball to the house.

But instead of the call being made by Bears head coach Dave Steckel or defensive coordinator Marcus Yokeley, the call came from two members of the media who are now undefeated in their football coaching careers.
