#12 Hobart Cruises Past Colonels, 43-13

The 12th ranked Hobart College Statesmen traveled to the Boston suburbs for the second time in as many weeks to take on the Curry College Colonels.

It was clear the Colonels (0-3) were out-ranked in pretty much every way by the Statesmen (3-0) as Hobart scored FIVE TDs in the first half along with a defensive safety to post an insurmountable 37-0 halftime lead.

Although Curry would score twice to open the second half, Hobart would win the game 43-13.

Leading the Statesmen was FY WR Brandon Shed with two TD catches covering 103 yards. Quite a debut for the Benjamin School grad from FL and I hope we see #5 getting his number called more often as the season unfolds.

Classmate FY FS Tommy D'Antonio led all Hobart tacklers with seven stops. Although Curry QB Mike O'Hearn scorched the reserves for 243 passing yards and two TDs, he was intercepted twice (one by SR OLB and Co-Capt Matt McGriff and another by rising star SO DB Todd Collier) and the Statesmen D held Curry to -30 rushing yards on the day.

Up next is the USMMA (2-1) and their triple option offense. The Mariners better work on their passing game, otherwise I think another lopsided win is coming for Hobart at their 2014 Homecoming and Family Weekend.
