Missouri State football taking 'Hoosiers' approach against Texas A&M
Missouri State goes on the road to Texas A&M this weekend. Casey Woods and the Bears will be taking a Hoosiers-like approach to Week 1.
Springfield — Missouri State’s inaugural season in FBS is set to commence as the Bears take on No. 8 Texas A&M in College Station, Texas on Saturday, September 5. First-year head coach Casey Woods expressed his excitement during a press conference on Monday, August 31, highlighting his team's current state and the improvements he envisions.
Woods believes no better location exists to kick-start the season than the renowned Kyle Field in Texas. Missouri State football coach Casey Woods warned his team to anticipate significant challenges against a team with aspirations of an SEC championship and a shot at the College Football Playoff. The Bears will divide their season into three parts – non-conference play, where they aim to compete against the Aggies and other opponents; Conference USA matches, when the team must be at their peak; and the Texas A&M showdown, where the Bears must rely on their skills and respond appropriately to high-pressure situations.
Woods emphasized that Missouri State should play clean, sound football to contend with the nation's best.
