A new football coach has changed Missouri State's reputation in a short amount of time.

Bobby Petrino, the former Arkansas and Louisville head coach, is in his second year as head coach of the Bears and they've already won nine games and ended a three decade long playoff drought.

He brings the Bears to Fargo with a simple goal Saturday. Score some points. Missouri State has been shut out the last two times they have played NDSU, 19-0 in 2019 and 25-0 in March of 2021.
