The Pride's massive offensive line, averaging 290 pounds from tackle to tackle, and their speedy defensive front controlled the line of scrimmage, especially in dominating the first and fourth quarters.
The Fighting Scots (3-5, 2-3 USA South) gained only 32 yards on the ground, versus 145 netted for their visitors, and the Tim Conner-to-Wesley Idlette passing combo, while effective in spurts, could not overcome the lack of a consistent Maryville rushing attack.
