Neither team generated much offense in the first quarter as the two teams combined for 39 first-quarter yards. It was a second quarter fumble that set the Tigers up in optimal scoring position on the four yardline. Three running plays later, Benedict scored its first touchdown of the contest. However, it would miss the extra point.

Kentucky State turned it over again on the next possession, this time an interception, gave the ball back to Benedict. The Tigers marched 78 yards on eight plays for another touchdown. This time is was a bad snap that prevented Benedict from converting the extra point.

The final Benedict score came as a backwards pass was scooped and returned it 65 yards to paydirt. Another bad snap kept the Tigers from attempting the extra point.
A depleted Thorobreds offense - playing without five starters, including quarterback Jules St. Ge – was limited to 94 yards of total offense.
