Games
- April 8: Won 41-36 vs. Everett Hawks. Quarterback Ryan Hawk completed 5 TDs to overcome a 10 point halftime deficit. Kerry Wright caught three TD passes and returned a kickoff for another.
- April 14: Lost 43-44 in overtime vs. Rio Grande Valley Dorados. Hawk missed a two-point conversion that would have taken it to a second OT after coming back from 24 points down at the start of the 4th quarter.
- April 21: Lost 40-62 at Louisville Fire. The Steeldogs failed to score in the 2nd period and had too much ground to make up.
- April 29: Won 40-34 at South Georgia Wildcats. The defense starred in this game, recording 4 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and a blocked field goal.
- May 5: Won 63-60 vs. Louisville Fire. Another 5 TD game for Hawk. The 3rd quarter was key as the Dogs outscored the Fire 28-7 and went into the last period up 46-34 after trailing 27-18 at the half. This was the first of three Barber Dairy, "Faith Nights" with pre-game concerts by Christian artists, free Bibles for fans, and Steeldogs clad in Christian Throwback Jerseys during pre-game warmups and post-game festivities.
- May 13: Lost 44-62 at Florida Firecats. 5 touchdowns from Hawk weren't enough to overcome several lucky breaks for the homestanding Firecats in a penalty-ridden matchup.
- May 20: Lost 17-21 at Tennessee Valley Vipers.
- May 27: Won 71-30 vs. Macon Knights. Bradly Chavez, coming off a knee injury, caught four touchdowns in a rout of the Knights.
- June 3: Lost 31-40 at Everett Hawks. The offense fizzled with just 111 passing yards and a costly penalty for hitting the kicker on a missed field goal with a minute remaining and a 6-point deficit.
- June 10: Won 42-35 vs. South Georgia Wildcats. Hawk came off the bench to rally the team in the fourth quarter, throwing a 23-yard touchdown to Allyn Sheffield. Starter Robert Kent, who had been splitting time with Hawk, finished 14 for 25 with 152 yards and 3 touchdowns.
