Statesmen Roll Giants, 58-14, at Homecoming

The (soon to be Top 25) Hobart College Statesmen ended September a perfect 4-0 with a 58-14 Homecoming blowout of new D3FB program Keystone College (0-4). 

FY TE Luke Hescock caught his 1st career pass and TD to start the scoring and Hobart never looked back. At the half Hobart had a 15-1 advantage in first downs and were outgaining the Giants 302-12 yards (that's not a typo).

It's safe to say pretty much everyone on the team who was healthy got some valuable playing time  Saturday night. The Statesmen gave the ball to roughly 23-24 ball carriers or receivers in the game.

A few of the highlights, other than the Hescock TD, included:

SO RB Rayshawn Boswell touched the football six times, scoring 2 rush and 1 receiving TDs. His counterpart SO RB Tim Denham, Jr. led all rushers with 16 carries for 90 yards, plus a TD. 

JR QB David Krewson had a solid night going 10-15 for 160 passing yards and 2 TDs. He added 8 rushing yards and a TD also. FY QB Johnny Colombi got his first college game experience, passing for 24 yards. 

The Hobart defense allowed a couple of late scores when the subs were in, but were otherwise dominant. They were led by JR DB Jay McCoy with 7 tackles. Nearly 30 Statesmen defenders registered a stop on Saturday.

On ST, FY PK Tobias Wefering kicked a 35-yd FG with just over two minutes remaining. He punted once and otherwise split KO and PAT duties with JR PK Rob DiGregorio.

All in all it was a fun outing for the Statesmen, kind of like a scrimmage or a bye week to be honest. The best part was no one came away injured from the game. #19 Ithaca had a bye week this past weekend which kind of makes this game a little more fair now. 

Regardless, we're onto Ithaca. Time to break the Butterfield curse.
