Missouri State Wins Overtime Thriller Against New Mexico State in Conference USA Play

Missouri State secured a 24-17 overtime victory against New Mexico State in a Conference USA matchup, thanks largely to a strong defensive performance and quarterback Jacob Clark's leadership. Clark, returning from injury, threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns, tying the program's all-time career touchdown pass record. The Bears intercepted New Mexico State quarterback Logan Fife four times, including the game-winning interception by Dylan Dixson in overtime. Missouri State maintained a lead throughout much of the game, despite a late rally by New Mexico State that tied the game at 17-17 before overtime. The Aggies struggled with turnovers, particularly Fife who completed 22 of 34 passes for 207 yards but threw four interceptions. Missouri State will next host FIU, while New Mexico State travels to Western Kentucky for their upcoming conference games.
