The Griffons ranked second in the MIAA in rush defense (130.8) and 43^rd in the nation. The defensive line helped Missouri Western rank second in the MIAA with 22 turnovers gained, including eight recovered fumbles which was sixth best in the MIAA.

Under Horn’s guidance, Bass finished second among MIAA defensive linemen with 7.5 sacks, the most in his career.
