The Cougars (5-2, 2-2 USA South) scored early and often, starting with a 7-play drive of 66 yards on their opening possession.

James Thurnes added the extra point for a 7-0 Averett lead.

Averett led 21-0 at halftime. Freshman Chris Baskerville gave the second best rushing performance in AU history with 166 yards on 19 carries. Munoz scored two touchdowns, while running for 60 yards on six carries.
