Hobart College first-year linebacker MJ Wells recorded four tackles, including half a sack, and a quarterback hurry in his Hobart debut, a 24-17 win over Alfred. With the game tied at 7, his first down sack set the Saxons back six yards and was followed by consecutive incompletions, forcing the visitors to punt. On Alfred's final possession of the game, Wells was credited with a quarterback hurry as the Saxons threw an incompletion into the Hobart end zone on third down from the Hobart 16 on what could have been a game-tying touchdown. Alfred's incompletion on the subsequent fourth down play allowed Hobart to run out the clock.
