how could any other game be highlighted from this disappointing season?...passions ran particularly high after Coach Rocco's surprising and messy departure after pieces of 2 CAA Championships and 3 consecutive FCS Playoff appearances in his five seasons...
Coach Huesman succeeded Rocco and expectations were high for the 2017 season as a healthy Kyle Lauletta returned along with plenty of solid and experienced talent on both sides of the ball...
October 21 finally arrived...the Spiders headed to Newark at 4-2, 2-1 CAA...they were still solidly in the CAA and FCS Playoff hunt, but the overriding emotion of the day was taking the field against former Coach Rocco...
a great contingent of loud and rowdy Richmond fans made the trip to Newark...the pregame festivities featured great fellowship and camaraderie and the game lived up to expectations...
Satchmo frames up the clash in his prologue from the Spider Gang archives...the professionals had the game pegged a "pick em"...
enjoy the Prologue...
Go Spiders!
