For the first time since Bobby Petrino's first three games as Missouri State's head coach, the Bears are on a losing streak after dropping the last two games against the teams that are considered the most difficult on their schedule.
A road trip to North Dakota awaits the Bears — a return trip to where they struggled when making their historic return to the FCS postseason in the 2021 spring season.
Missouri State still faces a long season and it still has its biggest goals in front of it. The Bears hope this week will help them get right in pursuit of accomplishing them.
