Statesmen Break Mustangs, 62-24

JR QB Ryan Hofmann tied a school record with six TD passes Saturday for Hobart College's home opener. His favorite targets were JR WR Jake Catalioto and JR WR Ray Conley had three and two TDs, respectively. Hofmann finished the day 14-20 for 239 yards and was a big part in the Statesmen's setting a modern era scoring record in the process.

The Statesmen defense recovered well from last week, forcing four Morrisville turnovers. Hobart was led by SO OLB Emmett Forde and JR OLB David McCarthy with seven tackles each. SR DT Sean Moore had a great game, tallying four tackles and leading Hobart with two TFLs, a sack and a forced fumble.

SO PK Kyle Hackett remained perfect, hitting two FGs, one for 23 and another for 39 yards. He was also a perfect 7-7 on PATs. The final PAT was converted by FY PK Rob DiGregorio (according the BX, anyway). Hackett moved past my former team and roommate Matt Edwards into sixth place on the Statesmen's all-time FG's made list.

While it was a great all around day for Hobart, the run game still needs work. The Statesmen averaged 2.6 YPR, but they did get two rushing scores via FY RB Dante Kimbrough and FY QB David Krewson. FY WR De' John King got his first career TD on a 27-yard pass from Hofmann in the third quarter.

Hobart will travel to VA next week to take on Shenandoah University in a rare Saturday night game to face off against former DC Scott Yoder '01. More on that game early next week, but for now, congratulations to Coach DeWall '00 on his first career win as HC!
