It was a meeting of the top two teams in the MAC preseason coaches’ poll, but Hatty helped the Aggies win going away as he completed 19 of 30 passes for 369 yards and a school record-tying five touchdowns in the 38-6 triumph. His first four scoring tosses came in the first half as they jumped out to a 28-0 advantage and his final touchdown pass came midway in the third.
