BILLINGS -- The No. 5-ranked Montana Tech football team continued its dominant start to the 2025 season with a 42-13 road win over Rocky Mountain Saturday afternoon. 

The Orediggers (9-0, 4-0 Frontier Conference East Division) got another four-touchdown performance from quarterback Jarrett Wilson, who threw a pair of scoring passes and found the end zone twice on the ground in the win. 

Montana Tech faced a bit of adversity in the early going, trailing for the first time in the season after Rocky Mountain (3-5, 3-1) kicked a first-quarter field goal to open the scoring. Tech hadn't trailed its opponent for the first 483 minutes and 14 seconds of the campaign. 

The deficit didn't last long. Wilson engineered an eight-play, 75-yard drive that Nate Milanowski finished with a nine-yard run. 

In the second quarter, Montana Tech marched down the field twice more. The Orediggers made it a 14-3 game when Wilson found Levi Torgerson for a 10-yard touchdown with 9:50 left until halftime. Tech scored again on its next drive, a 10-play, 64-yard march that Wilson capped with a two-yard run. 

Montana Tech extended the lead after intermission, first with Wilson's 18-yard completion to Nick Michelotti.  

After another RMC field goal and a Battlin' Bears touchdown drive cut the lead to 28-13, Montana Tech scored twice more in the fourth to cement the win. The Oredigger offense drove 84 yards early in the final quarter, scoring on Wilson's five-yard run, and Tech added insurance with 4:41 to play on Wykece Johnson's four-yard TD scamper. 

Wilson finished the game completing 16 of 21 passes for 251 yards and the two touchdowns, while Johnson led Tech's offense on the ground with 86 yards and a score on 20 carries. Torgerson caught nine passes for 143 yards, topping the century mark in receiving for the fourth time this season. 

On defense, Jace Thompson led the Orediggers with eight tackles, two of them for losses. Payton Gonser had five tackles and an interception, and Daymon Burns and Kellan Beller also intercepted Battlin' Bears passes. Rolland Trent and Cole Graham each logged sacks. 

Montana Tech is 9-0 for the first time in program history and will look to reach double-digit wins for the first time since 2016 with a win next Saturday at Dickinson State.
