LOCATION: Boswell Field at David Urick Stadium –Geneva, NY
RECORDS: Hobart(4-1, 1-1 Liberty League), Buffalo State (1-4, 0-2 Liberty League)
 
INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Getting his first career start at quarterback, Amir Cameron (Brooklyn, NY/James Madison) had one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns.
  • Ale Wilson (Bronx, NY/KIPP College Prep) rushed for 81 yards on 19 carries.
  • Evan Cervantes (Cicero, NY/Bishop Ludden) led the Buffalo State defense with 14 tackles, including one for loss, and also recovered a fumble.
  • Kenneth Mosley (Buffalo, NY/Kenmore West) had his first career interception.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Hobart needed just five plays to open the scoring on their first drive, which ended with a Johnny Colombi five-yard quarterback keeper with 12:37 remaining.
  • Buffalo State responded with a 15-play, 77-yard scoring drive that took up over nine minutes of game clock and did not include a passing attempt by Cameron. On fourth down and goal, Cameron was able to sneak over the goal line to knot the score at 7-7 after Nick Sciandra's (N. Tonawanda, NY/N. Tonawanda) extra point.
  • Mosley intercepted a pass with a leaping grab three plays into the next Hobart drive, but Buffalo State could not capitalize as Sciandra's 47-yard field goal attempt fell short.
  • Early in the second quarter, Buffalo State appeared to have great field position after a botched Statesmen punt attempt, but a late illegal substitution penalty nullified the big play. One play later, Hobart scored on a incredible one-handed catch by Ahmad Crowell, who raced untouched to the endzone for a 14-7 Hobart lead.
  • On the Bengals' next drive, a failed exchange between Cameron and Wilson in the backfield led to a 31-yard scoop-and-score by Mike McGhee.  
  • Anthony Bowman (Lockport, NY/Lockport) fumbled on the kickoff, which was recovered by Hobart at the 18-yard line. The Statesmen capitalized on the great field position three plays later, as Rayshawn Boswell's two-yard touchdown run gave Hobart a 28-7 advantage.
  • Buffalo State went 3-and-out on the next drive, and Tobias Wefering's 26-yard field goal made it 31-7. Another Bengals 3-and-out led to a Rane Daramola 43-yard touchdown reception with 43 seconds left in the half to make it 38-7 at halftime.
  • Cameron was intercepted by Anthony Romano on the first Buffalo State drive of the second half, and the pick was returned to the 12-yard line. Three plays later, Hobart was back in the end zone on an Edward Taylor nine-yard rushing score.
  • Buffalo State got another touchdown on a one-yard quarterback keeper with 2:06 remaining in the third quarter after a nice catch by Tariq Nelson (Brooklyn, NY/Boys and Girls) set the Bengals up at the one-yard line.
  • After the Bengals' defense forced punts on back-to-back Hobart drives, a 25-yard touchdown pass from Cameron to Julian Maloney (Buffalo, NY/West Seneca West) with 5:23 remaining in the fourth quarter made it 45-21.
  • The Bengals recovered Sciandra's onside kick, but Cameron was intercepted for the third and fourth times of the game on the last two Buffalo State drives to keep the score at 45-21 at the end of the game.
 
FOR THE FOES
  • Drew Walsh led the Hobart defense with 14 tackles and an interception.
  • Colombi finished 11-for-17 for 193 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 28 yards and another score on the ground.
