ROLLA, Mo. – Fresh off its first win of the 2019 season, Missouri S&T welcomes an undefeated Miles College team to Allgood-Bailey Stadium Saturday night for a 7 p.m. contest on Miner Hall of Fame Night.

The Miners broke into the win column last week with an impressive 51-17 win over Azusa Pacific as they racked up the second-highest yardage total in school history with 670 yards.  Quarterback Brennan Simms (Punta Gorda, FL/Charlotte) accounted for four of S&T's touchdowns in the win and has already had a hand in seven of the Miners' 10 offensive touchdowns this season.

Miles picked up its second win in as many games as it downed Morehouse 45-21 in its home opener last Saturday.  The Golden Bears got 194 rushing yards from Wade Streeter and ran for 255 yards as a team in the victory.

ABOUT THE MINERS:  Missouri S&T used one of its best offensive performances in school history to earn its first win of the season, as it recorded 296 rushing yards and 374 through the air in its win over Azusa Pacific.

Brennan Simms (Punta Gorda, FL/Charlotte) completed 17-of-30 passes for a career-high 277 yards and three touchdowns, while also running for his second score of the year along the way.  Simms – one of just three quarterbacks in Miner history to have accounted for seven touchdowns in the first two games of a season – has completed 58 percent of his throws for 479 yards and five touchdowns, with wideout Josh Brown (Gainesville, FL/North Marion HS) leading the way with nine catches for 219 yards.

Later in the contest a week ago, reserve quarterback Staton King (Bixby, OK/Bixby) connected with Breon Michel (Colorado Springs, CO/Vista Ridge) for a 97-yard touchdown pass that set a new school record for the longest pass play in Miner history.

For the second straight game, the Miners cleared the 200-yard mark on the ground as they racked up 296 yards with multiple players having a hand in it.  Payton McAlister (Decatur, TX/Decatur) cleared the 100-yard plateau for the second time as a Miner with 101 yards, while Aaron Moya (Canutillo, TX/Canutillo) – who leads S&T with 172 yards through two games – had 79 yards and Deshawn Jones (Olympia Fields, IL/Rich Central) finished with 63.

Defensively, the Miners bounced back from a tough opening night as they held the Cougars to 69 yards on the ground and also got in on the scoring when Dontay White (Florissant, MO/Hazelwood Central) returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown.  S&T forced three Azusa Pacific turnovers, which also included an interception from linebacker Jake Larson (O'Fallon, MO/St. Dominic).

Safety Justin Onwugbufor (Maize, KS/Northwest) leads the Miners with 18 tackles on the year, while Ryan Kirkendall (Silsbee, TX/Silsbee) has recorded 15 stops and Stefan Camplin (Raytown, MO/Raytown) has made 14.  The Miners, who have been among the top teams nationally in tackles for a loss in recent years, have had four each of the first two weeks and has three quarterback sacks in last week's win.

ABOUT MILES: The Golden Bears won their second straight game by running out to a 38-0 lead late in the third quarter and cruising to a 45-21 win over conference rival Morehouse last Saturday.

Miles ran for 255 yards as a team – it is averaging 241 yards per game through its first two contests – and got 194 from Wade Streeter after he did not have a rushing attempt in the Golden Bears' season opener.  De'Rell Freeman has rushed for 155 yards on the season and Donte Edwards has posted 125 yards and two scores.

Quarterback Daniel Smith has completed 25-of-46 passes on the season for 275 yards and three touchdowns.  His top target has been Antonio Lee with eight receptions for 87 yards, while Montavious Tinch has caught five passes from the tight end position.

Miles' defense has been stout against the run in the first two weeks, allowing a net total of just five yards in that span.  Morehouse was held to a net of minus seven yards last week after Fort Valley State managed just 12 in the opening week of the year.

Linebacker Mitchell Smiley leads the Golden Bears with 14 tackles, while Austin Stephens has 13 stops and three of the team's 16 tackles for a loss.  MarQuel Shelton and Cameron Snead have two sacks apiece for Miles.
