EPHRAIM -The No. 2 ranked Snow College football team had no trouble Saturday in a 71-0 victory over Pima Community College.
Snow's defense not only held Pima scoreless, but the unit scored twice on interception returns and created a fumble that gave the Badger offense a one-yard field.
"You can tell our defense came out to play," said head coach Steve Coburn. "We dominated and did not let up from start to finish."
Along with the two turnovers, Snow recorded five sacks and held Pima to minus 34 yards in the contest.
The Badger offense put on a balanced attack, racking up 174 yards on the ground and 211 yards in the air. Snow starting quarterback Quinn Mecham (Timpview High School) threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns and backup Scott Pickering (Springville High School) connected on his only two passes for 36 yards and a touchdown.
BJ McKenzie led the Badger running attack with eight carries for 53 yards, while Mecham, receiver Regan Buck and running back Justin Torfin each scored on the ground.
The star of the game for Snow was sophomore defensive back Jordan Brown (Box Elder High School). Brown intercepted two Pima passes, returning both for touchdowns, including one for 98 yards when Pima was threatening to score.
The Badger offense averaged nearly 6 yards a play in the game, while holding Pima to 1.2 yards per play. Snow increased its season record to 8-0 heading into its bye week. Snow next faces No. 18 Eastern Arizona in Thatcher Nov. 1
