The Bears built their dominant performance early, scoring 21 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the second to effectively put the game away. Missouri State added 7 points in the third quarter before going scoreless in the fourth.
Jacob Clark led the Bears' offensive attack with 271 passing yards, connecting on several key throws throughout the game. His passing helped set up Missouri State's scoring drives, including a 35-yard completion to Tristian Gardner in the first quarter and a 35-yard strike to Ronnel Johnson in the second quarter. Shomari Lawrence punctuated the Bears' dominance with a 50-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
