Missouri State cannot let 'disappointing performance' snowball into more losses
Missouri State (1-4, 0-1 in CUSA) entered this week’s game against Western Kentucky (2-4, 1-1) with high hopes. Instead of starting the Casey Woods Conference USA era on the right foot, the Bears struggled in their 34-13 loss on Thursday, Oct. 8. “Not good enough. That was a disappointing performance,” Woods told Missouri State radio. “We got our butts whipped on both sides of the ball.” Sports: Fans react to the Ozarks Springbirds new name: 'This was a big relief' Missouri State has yet to defeat an FBS team this season. The Bears have lost to two similarly sized programs, Marshall and the Hilltoppers . In the defeat to Western Kentucky, Missouri State couldn't make big plays or flip momentum. The Bears made it hard on themselves at every turn. Third-down conversions and red-zone offense continue to be areas that need improvement. Missouri State had two trips to the red zone, ending in two field goals. The offense also went 4-for-15 on third down and 1-for-4 on fourth down. Midway through the third quarter, starting quarterback Skyler Locklear limped off the field. Second-string Henry Belin IV marched the Bears downfield and threw a gorgeous 36-yard back-shoulder touchdown to Isaiah Myers.
