The Mustangs could not produce much on offense, losing several fumbles and being forced to punt numerous times by the Generals’ defense. They also lost sophomore running back Joel Chandler, who was carted off with an injury during the second quarter. A key play did come in the second quarter when sophomore John Mann converted on fourth-and-short, but the Mustangs were forced to punt later in that drive. Excitement was generated later in the quarter when senior linebacker Ryan Larcamp appeared to run a Generals’ turnover back for a touchdown, but the officials called it back because of a personal foul committed by the Mustangs.

After that, the next highlight for Mason came in the third quarter when senior defensive end Ed Hickey recovered a Stonewall Jackson fumble, but the offense was unable to capitalize, fumbling the ball back to Stonewall Jackson. After that, the Mustangs never really threatened.
