The Hobart College Statesmen won their 9th consecutive Centennial Cup, beating Rochester (0-10, 0-6) on their Senior Day by a 51-20 margin. The Statesmen will await to hear on the status of the New York State Bowl game, which I hope to tweet out on our @D3FBHuddle show twitter feed Sunday night around 6:30 PM, if not sooner.
Regardless, an 8-2 overall finish is the best for Hobart since the 2016 season. While the Statesmen did end up in third place in the LL with a 4-2 mark, they should have an opportunity to win a 9th game, likely against Cortland, who also ended the year 8-2.
The Statesmen needed less than two minutes to score as FY RB Tim Denham took a 47-yard run to the house to give Hobart an early 6-0 lead. He'd score again a few plays later. JR PK Kyle Hackett would add the first of his three FGs on the day - tying the single game record for FGM and the season FGM record with his 11th - shortly after.
JR OLB Emmett Forde added a scoop and score TD to extend the Statesmen's advantage to 21-0 and FY RB Rayshawn Boswell took off on a 98-yd KOR for a TD that is probably a Hobart record also.
The Statesmen led 34-0 at the half. SR QB Ryan Hofmann would find SR WR Jake Catalioto for a TD and Boswell added a second rushing score. Hofmann had one of his best games of the season, going 20-29 for 243 yards and a TD. Catalioto had six catches for a game high 107 receiving yards. The Statesmen offense out-gained Rocester 504-227 on the day.
The only downside to today's game was some questionable officiating, which saw a couple of Hobart players removed from the game. They will be eligible for the second half of the NYS Bowl, assuming that comes to pass.
I'll have more on the season and a preview of the Bowl game - I'm pretty confident we'll have it - early next week.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
