The Boll Weevils hosted Southern Arkansas at this year's Battle of the Timberlands, now in its 97th year. The Great American Conference team ends the season 3-8. The Muleriders went 5-6 this season.

Defensively, Brycen Leblanc led the way for the Boll Weevils with nine total tackles and seven solo stops.
"Played a good first half ... defense was outstanding," Hud Jackson, the Boll Weevils head coach, said. "When you have a chance to put points on the board you have to do it. Our coaches and players want to be great, we will do what we have to to be great. No excuses, we have to commit to building with what we got. Focusing on the positive and moving forward with the positive is what will push us around the corner. Can't wait to move on to the off season."
