episode five of the Pandemic Season highlights the Spiders disappointing 2013 season...coming off the impressive turnaround 2012 season, hopes were high for another Championship run, but it didn't play to the hoped for script...the Spiders couldn't win the close ones, with all six losses coming by a TD, or less...
the featured game from this .500 season is Richmond's visit to Newark, Delaware to play the Delaware Blue Hens on November 16, 2013... UR was coming off of its first two CAA wins of the season and in the process of finishing the season strong. UD still had CAA Championship and FCS Playoff hopes and was ranked #21 in FCS...
Richmond had a significant history of winning classic and dramatic games at Delaware...this one was a classic and dramatic, as well as historic...several important Richmond records were rewritten...most of you can probably remember the classic finish...
Satchmo frames up the game in his weekly Prologue.
I hope the Pandemic season stirs some pleasant Spiders football memories...let's hope we have some real Richmond football in the spring and fall of 2021!
Go Spiders!
