Statesmen Break Mustangs, 41-0

The Hobart College Statesmen defense continued to impress and still hasn't allowed a TD yet this season. Hobart (2-0) had some struggles on offense in the 1st half, but came alive in the 2nd, in a rout over Morrisville. 

The Mustangs (0-2) and the Statesmen battled through a scoreless 1st quarter and it wasn't until the early 2nd quarter JR PK Rob DiGregorio hit his first of two FG's to break the stalemate.

The Statesmen had a 10-0 lead at the half, but SR QB David Krewson was 4-16 passing which raised some eyebrows with a few of my fellow Statesmen alums and fans. To be fair Krewson did have about 5 or 6 passes (or more) that were simply dropped by his receivers. His final line was 11-29 for 153 yards.

SO RB Rayshawn Bowell scored on a 5-yard rush and 34-yard passing plays. SO RB Tim Denham, Jr added a rush TD. Overall Hobart outgained Morrsiville 408-112 yards. 

JR WR Alex LaBella scored his first receiving (from SO QB Joseph Pelletier, also a career first) and FY RB Frank Riggio scored his first career TDs late in the 4th quarter (the BX on the Hobart website is incorrect).

Other than the offensive struggles, the fact that SR OLB Emmett Forde left the game and was seen with a sling on his shoulder in the second half was the main bad news from today's matchup. Hopefully his removal from the lineup was more of a precautionary measure.

Up next for Hobart will be a date with Saint John Fisher (2-0). The Cardinals beat Buffalo State 21-14 in Week 1 and won easily, 38-7, over Framingham State (0-2) today.
