Hobart Rolls Giants, 65-6

The Hobart College Statesmen scored the second most points, 65, in the 128-season history of their program, blowing out the Keystone College Giants, Saturday in La Plume, PA.

The game got off to an auspicious start, as the Giants drove deep into Statesmen (3-1) territory, and it took a fourth down hold by the defense to keep Keystone (0-4) from scoring first. After that, it was all Hobart.


The Statesmen racked up 377 total yards on offense, averaging nearly 8 yards per play, and saw seven different Hobart player's score a TD, including JR DB Blake Hansen who had a 60-yard pick six in the game. 

JR RB Tim Denham, Jr. had a day, rushing for only 42 yards but a team high 3 rushing TDs. SO TE Luke Hescock led the team with 48 receiving yards. The defense was led by FY LB Mike McGhee who had 14 total tackles, 3 TFL and a sack. SO PK Tobias Weffering was kept busy all day, accounting for 11 points if my math is correct. He kicked a 27-yard FG and converted 8 PATs on the day.

Next weekend Hobart will host #12 Ithaca (who was on a bye this weekend) for Homecoming in both teams Liberty League opener. I'll have more on that one early next week. 

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
