its just a shame that the CAA did not have the capability to review calls in this 2016 disaster on the Reservation...it was a frustrating day on the Reservation that I have not been able to forget...you may recall we had already lost star QB Kyle Lauletta to injury, but our outstanding 8-2 team was still fighting for a 6-2 CAA finish and higher seed in the FCS Playoffs...
the Spiders were trailing, but game was still in question when the Spiders Justin Rubin put this bone jarring hit on a W&M receiver...the ensuing fumble was returned for a Spiders TD which reversed momentum and put Richmond right back into the game...who knows what might have happened?
until the yellow flag dropped!...a long conference took place...the stripes emerged with the targeting call which reversed the play's outcome and seemed to sap the Spiders spirit! The Indians went on to an easy win!
I still say that call may have cost us a additional home game in the FCS Playoffs in which we advanced to the quarterfinals despite losing Lauletta...let's hope bogus calls like this one don't play a part in this year's important game at The Brick House...once again there's a lot on the line for the Spiders!
never forget!
Go Spiders!
