When Missouri State got the ball back with 1:45 left in the game, the Bears figured they were going to drive down the field for the game-winning score. It's what they've done all season.
The "Cardiac Bears" made their appearances every other weekend while leading Missouri State back to the postseason for the second season in a row. The magical duo of Bobby Petrino and Jason Shelley surely had one more trick of its sleeve.
Even after they made the same mistakes that they've made all season that kept those past games close — muffed punts, fumbles, inopportune penalties — the Bears figured they were going to pull off another classic comeback that would be remembered forever.
