On the ensuing kickoff Drew Dunklin recovered the ball at the Bulldog 37-yard line and the Crusaders went back to work driving the ball down to the two-yard line on four Tucker runs. Johnson then followed his line to paydirt with 40 seconds left before halftime to give TKG a 26-0 advantage.

The second half proved to be the Tucker half, as he scored on a 21-yard run, a 90-yard kickoff return and a one-handed catch on a 43-yard pass from Johnson.
