ROLLA, Mo. -- Miles scored the first touchdown in the first and second halves but had trouble slowing the Missouri S&T offense Saturday night in a 49-21 loss at Allgood-Bailey Stadium. 

Leonard Tyree had 6 catches for 129 yards and Daniel Smith threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns for the Golden Bears (2-1). But the Miners (2-1) had nearly 500 yards of total offense in the first-ever meeting between the two teams, including 184 yards rushing against the Miles defense, which entered the game as the No. 2 rush defense in Division II.

Donte Edwards capped an 8-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give Miles a 7-0 lead. But the Miners would tie the game on a 58-yard touchdown pass from Brennan Sims to Josh Brown less than a minute later. The Golden Bears would struggle to move the ball the rest of the half and Missouri S&T would hold a 28-7 lead at the break.

After forcing a three-and-out to start the second half, Miles would score on the ensuing possession. Smith found LaAnthony Robinson on a 16-yard scoring strike to cut the deficit to 28-14. But the Miners would come right back, getting a 1-yard run from Sims to reassert a 21-point lead. Miles would score again in the fourth quarter when Smith would connect on a 1-yard scoring toss to Deondre Harvey at the 12:35 mark. But Sims would answer once again with his fourth touchdown pass of the night for the final score.

Wade Streeter had a team-high 61 yards rushing. Mitchell Smiley (nine tackles), N'Ktavious Floyd (eight tackles) and Austin Stephens (seven tackles) paced the defense for Miles, which hosts Lane on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.
