Snow College captured its third consecutive victory and second victory against a top-10 opponent as it defeated Georgia Military College 41-18 Saturday. 
 
The No. 6 Badgers came into the matchup riding back-to-back victories against No. 8 Butler Community College (50-49, OT) and Gila River Junior College (85-0).  Snow College was fresh off a bye week and welcomed the No. 10 Bulldogs to town for the NJCAA Game of the Week.
 
This was the third game of the season Snow College has played against a team ranked within the NJCAA Division I Football Top-15.  This top-10 matchup pitted the nation's No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense.  Snow entered averaging 44.5 points per game while the Bulldogs defense was holding opponents to 4.8 points per game.
 
Snow College came out firing and scored on each of its first two drives to take a 13-0 lead.  First, it was a 21-yard pass from Daisean Cash to Marquis Montgomery.  Dionte Davis followed a few minutes later with a 6-yard rushing touchdown on a jet sweep to give the Badgers the edge.
 
On the following GMC drive, Autjoe Soe intercepted Bulldog quarterback Colin Hogan and took it 77 yards the other way.  Soe was thought to be tackled moments after the interception but was able to keep his feet under him and give the Badgers a 19-0 lead after a failed 2-point conversion.
 
GMC would add a field goal near the end of the first quarter.  Snow College would respond as Rahsul Faison punched one in on the ground from five yards out.  Cash would find Duece Roberson on a 5-yard pitch and catch to give the Badgers a 33-3 first half lead.
 
The Badgers were able to move the ball effectively throughout the first half despite committing four turnovers – two interceptions, a fumble, and a turnover on downs.  They put up nearly 300 yards of total offense while limiting the Bulldogs to just 65 yards of offense through the first 30 minutes.
 
The Bulldogs would strike right away to open the third quarter on a 99-yard kickoff return to cut into the lead 33-10.  This would be the only touchdown the Bulldogs would score in the quarter as Snow College's defense would bear its teeth.  The next three drives for the Bulldogs would end in a punt, an interception, and a turnover on downs.
 
Snow College would go scoreless in the third quarter before scoring a safety early in the fourth quarter.  The Badgers had backed the Bulldogs up near their own goal line and forced a punt attempt.  The ensuing snap went awry and extended the Badger lead 35-10.  
 
GMC and Snow College would exchange touchdowns near the end of the game.  Snow College's came on a 9-yard pass from Cash to Russell Wilkerson to give the Badgers a 41-18 lead that they would salt away for their fourth win of the season.
 
Snow College was dominant defensively for much of the game allowing zero net rushing yards on 35 attempts.  Conversely, the Badgers gained 182 yards on the ground and 211 yards through the air, totaling 393 yards of total offense. 
 
It wasn't all perfect for the Badgers, however.  Snow College committed five turnovers – two interceptions, two fumbles and a turnover on downs.  The Badgers only gained 29 yards in the third quarter.  They were aided by good defense that forced five turnovers and a safety to help in the victory.
 
Cash went 17-29 for 211 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.  He also rushed for 64 yards.  Targhee Lambson added 49 yards on the ground.  Dionte Davis had 65 receiving yards on two catches.  Montgomery added 47 yards through the air and a touchdown.  
 
With the victory, Snow College now improves to 4-1 overall and have won three straight.  One of their biggest tests will come next week as they travel to Council Bluffs, Iowa to take on the No. 2 team in the country in Iowa Western Community College.
 
IWCC owns an unblemished 5-0 record and are coming off a 17-8 victory over Independence Community College Saturday.  The Reivers are putting up 36.4 points per game and 359 yards of total offense.  The Badgers will have another tough defense to face as IWCC is only allowing 5.6 points per game defensively and have pitched two shutouts. 
 
Snow College and IWCC are familiar foes.  The Badgers and the Reivers faced off twice last season with IWCC wining both matches, the most notable of which was a 30-29 overtime victory in the NCJAA Semi-Final game.
 
The top-10 matchup is slated for Saturday at 12 p.m. MST inside Titan Stadium.  For additional information, visit snowbadgers.com.
