The Hobart College Statesmen football team sent the Homecoming crowd home happy with a dominant, 35-0 win over visiting Saint Lawrence today at the "Boz". The Saints (2-5, 0-4) have lost 12 straight and 30 of the last 31 games to the Statesmen (6-2, 2-2).
It what could have been a classic trap game, Hobart SR RB Tim Denham, Jr. had a big return to action scoring three rushing TDs. He and FY RB E.J. Taylor had 73 rushing yards each as the Statesmen outgained the Saints 421-148 total yards.
FY DL DonJuan McGee scored his first collegiate TD on a 24-yard pick six, tip drill play. He added three tackles, 1 TFL and a sack on the day. SR RB Rayshawn Boswell added the fifth and final TD of the game. SO DB Mekhi Rodgers got his second INT of the season, the third of his Hobart career, as well.
It was a very dominant win for Hobart who will face long-time league rival, RPI (7-1, 3-1) next Saturday in Geneva. The Statesmen and Engineers are dead even in the series, 32-32-1. The 66th installment won't be for the LL Championship, given Ithaca's (7-1, 5-0) lopsided 62-0 win today, but will definitely impact postseason bids and/or seeding, bragging rights aside. With only four at-large NCAA bids available, in theory RPI is playing to stay on that "bubble," so it would be sweet for the Statesmen to burst it.
More on that one early this next week. In the meantime, it feels good to get another win. On to the next one.
Go 'Bart!
