The Mustangs' offense was the most prolific regular season offense in NCAA Division II in 2006 rolling up 437 yards per game including 242 rushing yards a contest. The attack was central in leading the team to a 10-3 record including a 28-26 win over Missouri Western in the opening round of the playoffs -- the first NCAA postseason victory in program history.
 
Following the season, Burson became the first MSU student-athlete honored by the Associated Press Little All-America team in 50 years garnering third-team honors, while also earning All-America accolades from Daktronics (Sports Information Directors) and Don Hansen's Football Gazette.

With Burson leading an offensive line unit which also included Immanuel Sennet, Lance Calloway, Brandon Jones and Demond Strickland, the Mustangs rolled to an NCAA-best 549.4 yards of total of offense and scored 44.5 points per game.
