New crop of Hillsdale receivers are Smurftastic

Hillsdale football play by play announcer Andy Brown called the opening game at Ferris State "Meet your new Charger Receivers Night". Saturday night was a continuation of that event as quarterbacks Anthony Mifsud and Matt Bryan spread the ball all over the field in the 34-31 win over Grand Valley State.

The new crop is young and well....not real big.

At 6-3 and a senior, Jesse Norris is the elder statesman  towering over the bunch of youngsters that round out the crew. Lou Cangelosi is 5-9 175 and fellow sophomore Andrew Mott isn't much bigger at 6-0 185. Mott was huge though late in Saturday's game with an 85 yard reception when Mifsud caught GVSU loading up on the run and he beat his man 1-on-1 for the long TD.

Redshirt freshmen Brett Miller comes in at 5-11 175 and fellow RSF Evan Bach is the same height but a little heavier at 185. Bach has shown an ability to run the ball and nearly housed an end-around on Saturday.

Together this pint-sized bunch has caught 16 balls for 232 yards, a 14.5 yards per catch average.
