An offseason of uncertainty around the college football season comes to an end Saturday when Missouri State kicks off the season against Oklahoma in Norman.
The end of the uncertainty will also mark the beginning of a new era for Missouri State football.
Bobby Petrino will make his debut as the Bears' head football coach at 6 p.m. when MSU and OU kickoff at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
