Box Score COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (October 19, 2019) -- The no. 9 Snow College Badgers were simply outplayed by the no. 18 Iowa Western Reivers on Saturday afternoon, falling 54-13, their biggest deficit of the year.
Despite the Badgers leading in first downs, time of possession and total offensive yards, they were not able to capitalize on any scoring opportunities outside of two field goals from
Jose Pizano and a 20-yard touchdown run by
Weston Barlow in the second quarter. Snow College's secondary could not contain the Iowa Western receivers on big passing plays, conceding five touchdowns in the air and 188 total passing yards.
Gerald Wilbon had the sole highlight of the day for the Badger secondary coming up with an interception.
The last time that the Badgers gave up 50 points was against Arizona Western College in 2016, and the last time that the Badgers gave up more than 50 points came back in 2009 against New Mexico Military Institute where they allowed 54 points (Snow College actually won the game 64-54).
Quarterback
Garrison Beach didn't have his best game of the season throwing 19/35 and 193 yards with one interception and a lost fumble as the offense could never figure out how to crack the Reiver defense enough to find the end zone. The Badgers now fall to 4-3 on the season and will most likely slide down in next week's NJCAA rankings.
Snow College will host Gila River next Saturday at 1 pm in Ephraim, Utah.
The game will be available on radio stations KMTI AM 650 and 95.1 FM, with live streaming available at local10.centracom.com or on the YouTube channel WATCHit/SnowTV.
