After two overtime periods of 10 minutes each, the game ended with the final score of 1-1. The Tigers record is now 1-3-1 on the season.

The previous record was set back in 1999 against Washburn by Josh Charles. Bass sacked the UCM quarterback on back-to-back plays early in the third quarter. The Griffons had seven sacks and nine tackles for a loss in the contest. Bass also had one quarterback hurry to go along with one pass break-up. Bass tipped three other pass which were all intercepted with two being in Griffon territory.

The 58-yard punt return, which was the longest by a Bulldog since 2007 (Albert Coker – 60 yards), set up the Bulldogs at the Tigers 19-yard line and eventually led to a 20-yard field goal to put Truman up 23-21. Mundwiller’s return yardage on Saturday of 94 yards, was five yards shy of the entire team’s punt return yardage from 2010. Offensively, the senior fromWashington,Mo., was Clark’s top target, being thrown to 14 times. Mundwiller added a special teams tackle on a fake punt by the Tigers.
