Statesmen ready for #20 RPI
Here's some quotes from the Hobart football team, courtesy of the Finger Lakes Times, after their 31-14 victory over WPI on Saturday as they look forward to their big matchup with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Saturday, Nov. 8.
"We’re a confident team going in there," senior quarterback Rich Doyle said. "We know this is for everything."
"Earlier, I would have said we’re going to have a real tough time with RPI. Now, we have a shot," Hobart coach Mike Cragg concluded. "We’ve gone down there and won before. I don’t have any problem thinking we can go down there and beat them on their field."
The Engineers (5-0, 7-0) will be playing their last regular season game at '86 Field in Troy.
Hobart has been the team to beat since the Liberty League formed in 2004.
2004: 9-2 (7-0 LL) Loss to Rowan in NCAAs
2005: 9-2 (6-1 LL) Beat Cortland; loss to Del Valley in NCAAs
2006: 8-2 (5-1 LL) Loss to Rowan in NCAAs
2007: 8-3 (6-1 LL) Loss to St. John Fisher in NCAAs
2008: 6-1 (4-1 LL) ????
Also, RPI has only defeated Hobart once, last year's 35-31 victory in Geneva, during those four seasons.
It should be a great game.
