2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponents Countdown - Towson

Big win over an opponent that is much better than their record. We weren’t perfect by any means but both sides of the ball made plays when it mattered. Fourth game in a row with no turnovers by the Spiders. Towson with 3 yesterday…difference in the game.
Agreed, Towson looked like the better team for a decent portion of the game but we were very opportunistic and won comfortably in the end. The Spiders are a fun team to watch this Fall.

I really like running back ZPS. He does a great job of always going forward and getting an extra yard or two. not a lot of "dancing" or negative plays.

Dilly dilly! Let's hope we come out strong from the beginning and go to our new apparent bread and butter: drilling a ton of threes. If we're not making those early, we could find ourselves in a pickle by halftime. It might not be kosher for this program, but I wouldn't mind seeing us win the rebounding battle by 25 or 30, either. Anything less than a +15 line by the end would feel a little jarring to me. I'm sure this opponent would relish the chance to give us a scare if we're not careful.
Games like this getting us ready to not get jarred by Mason.

We have a very good football program

Our recruiting use to be Mid Atlantic-NE primarily, but now many recruits are from NC, GA, TN.
I talked to some golfers yesterday from Charlotte and they mentioned how Richmond recruits
In the Charlotte Metro area. I worry by going to PL that we will lose some identity in those areas
in SE we recruit.
I think losing coaches who recruit those areas is more worrisome.

I really like this team can win with many different formulas. We don't have to just win with D, or in air, or on ground.
Diffidently a bend don’t break mentality and with Coleman’s steady improvement on offense, this offense has yet
to play its best game. We need some of the injured to get well, but impressed with some of the frosh playing. How about
that Aussie punter and that Irish kicker!

Sorry,OOC is baked in for next number of years.Add WM beginning in 2025.Fordham becomes a league game.12 regular season games in 2025.

32 counter you are better at such stuff, so below is more a question than a statement

If Nova comes in at the end of this year and next several years are set for OOC, that is 8 conference games and no room for W&M without buying out an OOC game already scheduled if I understand it right.

All the above clearly points to the necessity of the toughest/hardest OOC schedule that can be had. Bringing in some MVC teams for home games might even generate local interest.
