Bladt, a senior defensive back, intercepted three passes in leading the Rams to a 28-21 season-opening victory at Grinnell, snapping Cornell’s 18-game losing streak. Bladt had a 60-yard touchdown and picked off another pass in the end zone for a touchback in the fourth quarter. His first pick of the day, which he returned 30 yards, set up Cornell’s first touchdown in the second quarter. Bladt also tied for the team lead with seven tackles in addition to handling regular kickoff duties.
