Looking back at Football Bears as Homecoming heroes, felling Sycamores

In a game of two starkly different halves, the Missouri State University football team defeated the Indiana State University Sycamores in its Homecoming game, 46-21.

The victory pushed the Bears to five consecutive wins and continued a so-far undefeated conference slate.

The win wasn’t the fantastic blowout some might have expected after last week, where the Bears knocked then-ranked No. 16 Illinois State University down to No. 23 with a 41-7 victory, and knowing Indiana State has been an easy opponent in the past, they were ostensibly to be a simple win.

The Sycamores put up a respectable fight against the Bears, and even had a significant challenge against them during the first half of the game.
