After last week's heart breaking 30-3 loss to Mary Hardin-Baylor, this week's contest against Sul Ross State, the nation's #1 ranked offense, seemed like trap game of sorts for the Louisiana College Wildcats.
 
Those concerns were squashed very early as LC played perhaps their most complete game all season on their way to a 41-24 victory over the Lobos on Saturday afternoon in Alpine, Tx.
 
The Wildcats were led by an outstanding effort from their defense and an outstanding performance from senior quarterback Jamie Bunting, who threw for a season-high four touchdowns, all of which came in the first half.
 
The LC offense wasted no time getting on the board, as they drove 74 yards on 12 plays on their opening possession, capped off by a 9 yard touchdown pass from Bunting to Kyle Galyon.
 
Bunting would add three more touchdowns in the first half on a 46 yarder to D'Mario Parker, a 90 yard bomb to Cortland Bell, and a 21 yard strike to senior Bryan Sampson which was Sampson's first career touchdown for the Wildcats.
 
The Bunting to Sampson touchdown came with 35 seconds left in the half after a huge turnover that was forced by the LC defense. It pushed the Wildcats' lead to 27-10 and provided the proverbial dagger to Sul Ross.
 
The touchdown pass was sweet revenge for the Wildcats after Mary Hardin-Baylor's blocked field goal that went for a touchdown with under a second left the previous week.
 
The second half saw more great defense from Brian Wallace's unit, as well as a healthy dose of LC's running game, led by Ryan Montague who finished with 23 carries for 164 yards and two touchdowns.
 
Reggie Sims (13 carries for 44 yards) and Josh James (5 carries for 23 yards) also contributed to a ground attack that ran for 237 yards on the day.
 
Sul Ross, which came into the game averaging 241 rushing yards per game, was held to just 61 yards on the ground. The Lobos were also held to over 200 yards less than their 572 total offensive yards per game average, coming away with 365.
 
The Wildcats, who sit at 5-2 on the season and 3-1 in the American Southwest Conference, will now turn their focus towards Texas Lutheran for next weekend's ASC matchup. LC will be celebrating homecoming facilities during the week, with the game set to kick off at 4 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium.
