The Mules put points on the board in the third quarter; James Anderson carried the ball in from four yards out.

Byington scored on a 24-yard run to start the fourth quarter and set up the final 28-6 score.

The Mules had 142 yards on the ground and 68 in the air. Anderson gained 82 yards; Zach Brown 50, and Lucas Brown 10. L. Brown completed five passes; Anderson had two catches for 24 yards; and K.C. Berry and Santos Wright each caught passes.
