Just to clarify, that record is for league games (games involving two MVFC/Gateway conference teams). We actually held the previous record for that also, from back in 1988, when we were down 31-8 (23 points) to Missouri State and came back to win 35-31.
For any game involving at least 1 MVFC team, Saturday's win ties a game from 2008 involving South Dakota State playing at Stephen F. Austin. SDSU was down 34-6 (28 points) midway through the 3rd quarter, but ended up winning 50-48 on a rushing TD as time expired.
