The Hobart College Statesmen will face off against the Washington & Jefferson College Presidents for the Asa S. Bushnell Bowl game, Saturday, November 19 in Washington, PA. Kickoff is slated for 12 PM (but I could see it moved back to 1 PM, will be up to W&J as the hosts).
The Statesmen (7-3, 4-2) were picked for the second year in a row in the top ECAC game as a "1 seed" against a strong W&J (8-2, 6-2) team that finished second in the PAC this season, and who defeated #21-ranked John Carroll, 35-26, back in Week 1 of this year.
Hobart and W&J have not faced each other in 80 years (since 1942)! The Statesmen are 0-2 all-time against the Presidents, but that was literally multiple generations ago now.
The other ECAC Bowl matchups are:
Westminster College (7-3) @ SUNY Brockport (7-3) in the Clayton Chapman Bowl
Morrisville State (7-3) @ RPI (7-3) in the Scotty Whitelaw Bowl
FDU – Florham (6-4) @ Grove City College (7-3) in the James Lynah Bowl
I'll have more on this game later this week. The Presidents will be a tough test for Hobart, but this is a game the Statesmen can definitely win.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
