Missouri State football is going to need plenty of help if it's going to make the postseason for the first time since 1990.
When it didn't have an opportunity to help itself this past weekend, a few of the teams Missouri State needed to lose ended up losing.
Now the Bears have to do their job.
No. 15 Missouri State (4-4) will play in perhaps its biggest game since 1990 when it hosts Youngstown State (1-5) Saturday at 2 p.m. at Plaster Stadium.
The Bears will have to win the game if they want any hope of hearing their names called when the selection committee announces the playoff field on April 18.
