The Hobart College Statesmen (4-1, 1-1) continued their winning ways at Boswell Field, defeating the Buffalo State Bengals, 45-21, yesterday in Geneva. The Statesmen scored 38 unanswered points after the Bengals (1-4, 0-2) tied up the game, 7-7, quieting the home crowd with a 15-play, 77-yard drive that featured no passing plays and took up over 9 minutes.
After that, it was all Hobart.
JR QB Johnny Columbi scored on a rushing TD to open the game and passed for two more TDs - a 51-yarder to SO WR Ahmad Crowell and a 43-yarder to JR WR Rane Daramola.
SO OLB Mike McGhee joined in on the fun, scooping up a BSC fumble and taking it to the house for a 31-yard TD.
SR RB Rayshawn Boswell and FY RB E.J. Taylor each added a rushing TD and JR PK Tobias Wefering notched a 26-yard FG in the game. He went 5-5 on PATs also.

Unfortunately, the Ithaca Bombers (4-1, 2-0) knocked off RPI (4-1, 0-1) in OT, making a chance for a three-way tie for the LL championship less likely. Add in the fact Union (6-0, 2-0) needed to hang on against a resurgent but still rebuilding Rochester (4-2, 1-1), and it looks like the Bombers will repeat at LL champs.
In that case, Hobart can still hope for a potential ECAC bowl bid (as a host, especially if they can finish the season at 9-1). Unfortunately with only 4 Pool C (at-large) NCAA playoff bids this year, and a not so strong SOS, the chances for Hobart being picked for the NCAAs are almost impossible at this point, but you never know.
There's still a lot that could happen between now and the end of Week 11, so we will have to wait and see what transpires. At the end of the day, all that matters is Hilbert is up next. The Statesmen just have to keep on winning.
Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
