First and Ten Notes
- Missouri State returns to Robert W. Plaster Stadium this Saturday (Nov. 14) when the Bears entertain New Mexico State on Homecoming (2 p.m. kickoff). The Conference USA matchup will highlight a busy weekend in Springfield where the Bears have won 5 straight homecoming contests.
- In a campus tradition that dates back to 1921, the Bears are 24-21 on homecoming during their Division I era (since 1981). Over the last 50 years, the Bears are 28-22 in homecoming games.
- All-America candidate Jared Lloyd (LB, Daytona Beach, Fla.) ranks No. 1 nationally (and tops in CUSA) in tackles per game (11.33). His season tackle tally (102) makes him Mo State's first 100-tackle defender since the late Todric McGee posted 102 stops in 2023. Lloyd has recorded double-figure tackles in 8 of the last 12 games and also leads CUSA in solos per game (5.33) -- which is 7th among all FBS players.
- WR Jmariyae Robinson (Cocoa, Fla.) ranks No. 2 in program history in receiving yards (2,218), just 3 yards behind current assistant coach Jermaine Saffold's 2,221 yards (2009-11). "J-Rob" is also No. 1 in school history in career receptions (178) and No. 3 in career TD receptions (17). He leads all CUSA receivers in receptions per game (6.25) which is 18th nationally.
- WR Isaiah Myers (5th yr., Cincinnati, Ohio) is just 60 receiving yards away from becoming the second Bear to eclipse 1,000 yards in a season. He is also 170 yards away from catching Ty Scott (2021) for the program single-season record (1,110). He has already matched the Mo State season record for TD receptions (8), shared with four other players.
- Kicker Yousef Obeid (Sr., Dearborn, Mich.) has converted 40 straight PATs. His 218 career points ranks No. 6 all-time at MSU (No. 5 among kickers). He went 4-for-4 on field goals last week at FIU to tie a school record.
- Over the last 4 contests, RB Connor Lair (5th yr., West Plains, Mo.) is averaging 73.3 rushing yards per game with 3 touchdowns. His 62.4 rushing yards per game in CUSA play ranks 8th in the league.
- The Bears have had a second-half lead in each of their last 4 Conference USA games.
- With its third defensive score of the season in last week's game at FIU (a 51-yard fumble return by Jashawn Cooper), the Bears now rank 4th nationally in defensive touchdowns scored.
- On a national scale, Isaiah Myers leads all FBS receivers in 30+ yard receptions (14), is 2nd in 20+ yard receptions (19), 7th in total receiving yards (940), 10th in yards per reception (20.43) and 11th in receiving touchdowns (8) -- all of which lead Conference USA.
- QB Henry Belin IV (5th Yr., New York, N.Y.) ranks 4th in CUSA in pass efficiency (142.4), yards per completion (12.46) and yards per attempt (8.05), all of which rank in the top 50 nationally. He is also 5th in CUSA in completion percentage (.646).
- The Bears are 3-1 at home this season and have won 11 of their last 16 games at Plaster Stadium. This fall, Mo State is averaging 30.0 points, 452.3 yards and 23.3 first downs per game. Likewise, the Bears' passing game has a 174.8 pass efficiency and has completed 73.2 percent of their passes for 281.8 yards per contest at home.
