Imagining Missouri State football if it was in EA Sports College Football 25

When fans play the highly anticipated EA Sports College Football 25 video game later this week, Missouri State won’t be in the game. But we’re still here to help you dream and prepare you to build your dynasty come the game’s sequel.

The Owls went 3-6 during its final FCS season last year with losses to teams like Charleston Southern, Tennessee Tech and Chattanooga. Next year’s rating will hinge on how the Bears play this year.

The video showed Kennesaw State’s offense and defense given 71 ratings. It’s not far-fetched to believe Missouri State’s offense, coming…
