Opportunistic Statesmen Flip the Script, Tame Mustangs, 27-10

On a bit of a dark and damp Upstate NY day, the Hobart College Statesmen got some sweet revenge on last season's turnover plagued 24-13 loss to Morrisville. Hobart (2-0) forced the Mustangs into 5 takeaways to propel them onto a big 27-10 win.

JR LB and Co-Captain Jamien Bliss tallied 2 INTs and the dynamic duo of SR RBs Rayshawn Boswell and Tim Denham, Jr. ground out a combined 37 carries for 211 yards and 3 TDs today for the Statesmen. JR PK Tobias Wefering added six points on two short FGs in the first quarter and went 3-3 on PATs to rack up nine total in today's win. 

SO LB Mike McGhee had a big game recovering a forced fumble and getting an INT as well. While Morrisville (1-1) scored with about 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter, the Statesmen offense ground out a long drive to close out the game. 


For the second straight week, this was another chippy game that the officials had way too much interaction in. Both teams were flagged a total of 15 times for a combined -160 yards. 

JR LBs Anthony Romano and Peterson Monexant led the defense with six tackles each. SR DB Joe McCoy had two tackles and the fourth and final Statesmen INT of the day.

Next week the Statesmen will take an early bye week and will be back in action for a Saturday night game at the Boz in Week 4 vs. Keystone College.

I'm going to do some research on some questions Ted and Dave sent my way at the tail end of today's broadcast. More on that over our bye week review.

Feels good to be 2-0. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
