The #7 Hobart College Statesmen won their fourth straight LL Championship today, 29-27, in a nail biter at Saint Lawrence. Hobart (9-0, 6-0) did their best to give this one away, turning over the ball FIVE times to the Saints (7-2, 5-1) nationally ranked defense.
In the end it was the Statesmen defense who played big and the offense did just enough, overcoming their mistakes with 488 total yards and big runs by JR RBs Conner Hartigan and Alex Furtado behind an excellent game by the Hobart OL in the second half.
But who knew that it would come down to FY PK Will McCool connecting on a 32 yard FG to push the Statesmen to a 29-27 win? On a weekend where higher ranked teams fell in conference championship games (e.g., Ithaca beating Fisher and Morrisville beating Montclair), Hobart hung on and won.
Tune into ITH tomorrow night when we talk to Coach DeWall about today's game.
More analysis to come.
