Home sweet home.
The Hobart College Football team won a big game over Liberty League rivals, RPI this Saturday at the Boz. The Statesmen (7-2, 3-2) defense racked up 7.5 TFL, six sacks, an INT and FR, holding RPI (7-2, 3-2) to only 230 total yards and 18 rushing yards.
The Statesmen offense would mount a comeback from down 14-0 in the second quarter and 21-10 early in the third, to win the game, 31-21. JR QB Johnny Columbi had a career game, rushing for two TDs and passing for 162 yards, connecting with nine different receivers. Columbi had a critical passing TD to JR WR Rane Daramola as time ran out in the first half - a gutsy call by HC Kevin DeWall '00.
The defense was led by JR OLB and Co-Captain Jamien Bliss with seven tackles. SO DB Alex Smith notched his first career INT. Although RPI was without their starting QB, the Engineers had some success early on in the first half with a two-QB system, which finished the day 16-20 for 212 yards and two pass TDs.
The win improves Hobart's home record under Coach DeWall to 24-2 and puts the Statesmen in great position to earn an 8-2 regular season mark and earn a bid for a postseason bowl game.
Hobart will close out the regular season at Rochester. I'll have more on the Senior Class and a Preview of the Centennial Cup game early next week.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
