STORY LINES
The Racers look for their second-straight victory as they welcome Missouri State to The Track in their first game against an FCS opponent this season.
The Racers and Bears are meeting for the third time in the last four seasons. The two teams played a defensive battle in Springfield last season, after an offensive explosion occurred in the last meeting in Murray. MUR won both meetings, 28-23 last season, and 72-59 in 2010.
Murray State set a modern-day scoring record against Campbellsville as they scored 83 points in the 83-14 victory. The previous record was 72 points scored against Missouri State in 2010. The Racers had a balanced attack in the victory as they rushed for 313 yards and threw for 324.
The Racers also set a record by scoring 41 points in the first quarter. MUR scored six of their eight possessions in the first quarter, and also got an interception returned for a touchdown.
Redshirt freshman running back Marcus Holliday had a career day as he ran for 132 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries. He became the first Racer back to rush for over 100 yards this season.
