Never afraid to back down from stiff competition, the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats, ranked #1 in Division II football lost their season opener for the fourth year in a row losing at home to #14 Texas A & M/Kingsville 16-7

No reason to fear at this point for the Bearcats. The 20 seniors on this team have done this before and each time they’ve run the table and the regular season. This was an impressive defensive effort for Kingsville who held Northwest to 189 yards of total offense. Six of the Bearcats’ 11 possessions were three and out.
