UC Davis is losing to Montana State, 30-8 in the 3Q. UCDavis is ranked #4 and we are ranked #7 in the Coaches Poll. We could move up to #6. Idaho (#10) is also losing to Weber State.

Both losses will help the conference.

Not the same as winning the SoCon, NEC, Southland or Big Sky either but it puts you in the same playoffs. That's the real prize. Some of these other conferences are going to start losing to the Patriot because we're going to kick their ass.

OT unkind to the A-10 today…besides us, Mason lost to ECU in 2OT and UMass just fell to Hofstra in OT. (UMass football also lost in OT today to Liberty.)

Richmond 24, Hampton 21
Box Score

Richmond (9-2, 7-0 CAA) clinched at least a share of its second straight CAA title and earned the league’s automatic bid to the FCS playoffs as the Spiders held off Hampton (5-6, 2-5 CAA), 24-21, for their ninth straight win. Zach Palmer-Smith rushed for 166 yards and 2 TD’s, becoming the first UR back to go over 1,000 yards in a season since 2015.

Palmer-Smith broke loose for a 54-yard run on the first play from scrimmage and finished the drive with a 4-yard TD run. After a Hampton turnover on the ensuing kickoff, Landon Ellis caught an 8-yard scoring pass to put the Spiders up by 14 early. The Pirates cut the deficit in half on a 3-yard Tymere Robinson run late in the first quarter, but UR tacked on a 47-yard Sean O’Haire field goal just before halftime. Hampton pulled within three on a 40-yard Brennan Ridley TD grab in the third quarter, but Palmer-Smith’s second TD from a yard out made it 24-14. Hampton battled back within three again on a 1-yard Malcolm Mays scoring run with 9:58 left, but the Spiders forced a turnover on downs with 42 seconds to go to seal the victory. UR quarterback Cam Coleman threw for 138 yards, while Mays passed for 107 yards and ran for 53. Carter Glassmyer had 15 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery for the Spiders defense and Terrence Lane II had eight stops for HU.

Not much talk about how the switch to the Patriot League may affect recruiting. Sure, we may be "the big fish in the small pond" for a couple years, but what will happen after that as far as recruiting talent?

Since being 2-5 in 2021, this team has found ways to win. Credit to the kids showing up day in and day out! Credit to the coaches (with turnover amongst them) for leading these guys.

Very proud to be a Spider fan!

Had Mancuso not been injured at Va Tech, three of those losses would have been wins.

Just musing out loud here - was the wrong men's sport relegated to the Patriot? 🤔

All the pressure is off of Richmond and clearly on the Indians backs. Richmond will play loose and fast. I expect Spiders to win.

So glad I gave up my season tickets three years ago, after 30 years.I was so tired of wallowing in basketball despair or was it purgatory.

Can we set up a separate WBB forum?

They had their hands full with Bryant. And we had our hands full with Hampton.

Was going to post this. 0 identity. Only thing we do well is give the ball to d lo.

This is on Mooney. Last year we had dudes. He brought in what I think are talented players, but has no clue how to coach them and adapt. Bad Mooney, Bad Mooney. Mooniocrity culture of complacency is in full force.

I was responding to Longtimes post. I got your /s.
Next time I'll use a double slash s to make its clear for all those that bet on Richmond OOC away games 😀.

Then again, winning 9 straight suggests we are doing something right offensively.

SpiderRick said:

I just don't understand why we don't throw the ball more. Coleman is the best passer we've had since Lauletta. Last few games it looks like all we want to do is run the clock down.

We had 37 run plays to 18 pass plays.- that is more than 2-1. Some of those series were entirely run plays, which they stopped. Coleman is the best QB we have had since Kyle Lauletta. Coleman has proven that he can take over a game, but he should not be running the ball.

25 and 3 in the CAA since our 2 and 5 start 4 years ago. I hope Huesman can keep it going despite not getting the same support as basketball and lacrosse. Good on him.

Can we trade coaches with Hampton? Is there a transfer portal for coaches.
