That was rough.
No way to sugar coat it, the 36-10 loss to RPI (4-1, 2-0) on Homecoming was Hobart's only fourth, but it is also the worst, home loss under HC Kevin DeWall '00. JR RB E.J. Taylor had over 100 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough, as the hapless Statesmen offense continues to sputter along.
You can read about the game from the HWSAthletics.com site here.
This is also the worst start for a Hobart (1-4, 0-2) team in 30 years - even longer if you factor in one of the losses from that 1995 season was given back to the Statesmen as a forfeit given NCAA violations by Saint John Fisher at the time. For the record, the Cardinals won the game on 9/16/95, 35-20. That was also the last year Hobart had a losing season, which this version of the Statesmen is looking to avoid.
Hobart travels to long-time league rival, Union College (3-2, 2-0), who of course are coached by former Hobart OC and QB coach, Jon Drach. Coach Drach is 6-9 as the Dutchmen's HC, and so far, has a winning record in his second season at the helm.
The Statesmen shut out the Dutchmen, 27-0, last season. But this is a different year. Still, a win on Saturday at Union, which Hobart hasn't accomplished going back to the 2015 season, who be a nice consolation on what's already been a difficult season.
I'll have more on that matchup later this week.
Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
