After failing to convert on a fourth down in the first quarter the Grizzlies had a trick play with Bryce Hampton completing a pass for 17 yards to keep the opening drive of the second frame alive before they gave the ball over on drives.

The Orediggers continued to grow their lead in the second quarter when they capped off a six-play 53-yard drive to make the score 21-0. They added another touchdown to lead 28-0.
The Orediggers capitalized on two third quarter interceptions to grow their lead by 21 and led 49-0 going into the final quarter.

Adams State got deep into the Oredigger defensive zone with three minutes remaining in the game, however, a wide-open pass to Quinton Garrett on fourth down sealed the shutout for Colorado School of Mines.
