The Hobart College Statesmen improved to 5-1 overall with a lopsided, 49-3, win over visiting Hilbert College (0-6) yesterday at the "Boz". A lot of Hobart players got to make contributions in the win, starting off with FY LB David Charles II recovering a fumble in the end zone off a blocked Hawks punt.
SR RB Rayshawn Boswell would score on back-to-back rushing TDs in the first quarter and the Statesmen never looked back. JR QB Johnny Columbi would connect on 3 passing TDs and finish the game with 137 passing yards.
FY RB E.J. Taylor would score via the run and the pass, catching an 8-yd Columbi throw in the second quarter. FY WR Luke Stephens scored his first career TD and SO WR Ahmad Crowell collected his third TD of the season in Saturday's game.
Although the defense didn't pitch a shutout, Hobart held the Hawks to 178 total yards, 3-16 on third and 0-2 on fourth downs on the day.

Up next is the biggest game of the season, as the Statesmen take on Union (6-1. 2-1) in a key LL matchup with postseason implications. The Dutchmen / Garnet Chargers came up short, 17-9, yesterday against Ithaca. The Bombers (5-1, 3-0) lost their starting GR QB A.J. Wingfield for the season due to a broken leg, but they only need to beat Buff State (1-5, 0-3) and Saint Lawrence (2-4, 0-2) to clinch the LL title and Pool A NCAA bid.
The winner of the Hobart-Union game will have an outside shot at one of the four available at-large NCAA bids, assuming the winner of this game finishes 9-1.
More on that soon.
Finally, a very special thanks to Ted Baker for taking the time to meet with the McGlynn '00 kids (pictured above). They've been watching and listening to him call Hobart Football games their entire lives and were thrilled to have the moment captured above last Saturday during their visit from Atlanta.
Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
