Statesmen Run Over Cardinals, 42-21

In an occasionally sloppy, flag-riddled game, the Hobart College Statemen played spoiler to the Saint John Fisher Cardinals Alumni weekend, racking up 287 rushing yards in a 42-21 win Saturday. The Statesmen running game was elite, but Hobart was flagged (a somewhat inordinate) 12 times for -129 yards on the day.

The updated stats/BX was just posted and can be viewed here.

SO RB Rayshawn Boswell had a big day scoring 3 rushing TDs. SO RB Tim Denham, Jr. added 116 rushing yards, 1 rush TD as well as a 90-yard KOR TD to open the 2nd half.

Statistically the game really wasn't even close, Hobart had advantages in 1st downs (23-11) and 3rd down conversions (10-14 vs. 4-15). Fisher only gained 28 rush yards on 25 carries.

JR QB David Krewson struggled, however, going 14-22 for 104 yards and 2 INTs. Fortunately, the Statesmen didn't need him to carry the day, as the defense really stepped up, once again. Time will tell if Krewson has the tools to help Hobart get wins against the undefeated teams in their conference (#13 Union, RPI and #20 Ithaca). 

Leading the way on the defense was SO LB Bryan Aguilar with 10 tackles. SR FS Cal Sullivan also had a big game with 2 INTs. 

Up next for the Statesmen is Homecoming weekend against new D3FB and ECFC program, Keystone College (0-3). More on this one soon. 

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
