The Tigers controlled field position all day with the help of strong punting by redshirt junior Carl Ojala. The Vermont native placed four of his seven punts inside the Tech 20 yard line, including a 67 yarder in the second half. He also had a 58-yard kick sail into the end zone in the first quarter. Campbellsville jumped on the board early after Tech went four-and-out to start the game. Starting on the Tech 43, Nathan Cooper marched the Tigers down to the Tech 6, where David Hon kicked a 23-yard field goal for the first points of the day. After both teams exchanged punts, Dwight Houston picked off WVU Tech quarterback Mike Brumfield at the Golden Bears' 23 and returned the interception for a touchdown. It was his second touchdown in as many interceptions, becoming the first Tiger to return two interceptions for a TD in the same season. Tech answered the Tigers' 10-0 lead with a 33-yard touchdown pass from Julian Bernard to Robby Anzuim early in the second quarter. Six minutes later, Tech gained the lead on its own pick-six. Darryl Reynolds intercepted Cooper at the Tech 17 and returned it 83 yards for a 14-10 lead after the PAT. Wayne Coffee scored his first touchdown of the game with 26 seconds remaining in the half to regain Campbellsville's lead, but Tech found a way to neutralize the score, 17-17 at the break. After a 49-yard field goal fell short as time expired, the Golden Bears were given one more shot when Houston was called for roughing the kicker. This time, Ricardo Arriaga connected on a 34-yard field goal to tie the game at the half. Campbellsville regained its lead five minutes into the third quarter on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Cooper to Demytreus Gipson to go up 24-17. Blake Young and William Harris later took down Brumfield for a safety to strengthen the lead 26-7 with 1:36 left in the third quarter. Coffee broke through the line late in the fourth quarter for a 30-yard touchdown to cap the Tigers' scoring in the game The Golden Bears responded, aided by 30 yards of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after what appeared to be an Earl McCann interception was ruled incomplete. With less than a minute to play, Tech had the ball on the Tigers' 14 and punched it in on a 7-yard pass from Bernard to Joey Christian with 30 seconds left. Following the touchdown, tech opted for the onside kick, but Demary fielded the ball to allow the Tigers to run out the clock in a victory formation. Campbellsville posted one of its strongest defensive performances against the run in program history, holding the Golden Bears to 15 yards on 35 carries, an average of 0.4 yards per attempt. Opposite of that, Campbellsville had 255 yards rushing, led by Coffee's 179 and followed by 30 yards by Will Warf, 23 by George Nwokoji and 16 from Jeremy Satchell. WVU Tech linebacker Isaiah Keyes led all players with 16 tackles, including eight solo. The Tigers were led by nine tackles by Nick Reed, eight from Dwight Houston and seven by Earl McCann.
