The Miners Bowl Trophy is back in Joplin.
For the first time in 13 years, Missouri Southern defeats Pitt State.
With a 23-13 win on their home field, the Lions pick up their first victory over PSU in Joplin since 1993.
Here's what head coach @CoachAB_MSSU said after the game.

"I could not be more proud of David Bethune."
After falling behind in the fourth quarter, David Bethune flipped the script with a 91-yard return touchdown on the ensuing kickoff.
That house call ended up being the game-winning score in the Lions win over Pitt State.
Head coach Atiba Bradley talked about Bethune and how special his commitment to the program has been.
