the trip to Orono kicks off the second half of the CAA schedule...for those of us feeling optimistic it should be a very important game...one that the Spiders need to find a way to win if we expect to battle to the finish for the Championship and Playoff consideration...

the Black Bears have a new head coach, Jordan Stevens...they lost a lot of talent from last season's 6-5, 4-4 CAA squad...but star QB Joe Fagnano returns on the offense and the infamous "Black Hole Defense" is being rebuilt by a new defensive coordinator after losing its growl last season...

it's never easy on the road in the CAA, but Maine, a team picked to finish 8th in the CAA preseason poll, seems like a game we must win...

enjoy Countdown Episode Eight...picking up speed towards September 3...Yeah!

Go Spiders!

Box Score


Freshman quarterback Charlie McKee completed 18-of-21 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns, including a game-winning 7-yard scoring pass to Khalil Newton with 5:48 remaining, as Stony Brook (1-6, 1-4 CAA) rallied past Maine (2-5, 2-2 CAA), 28-27.

After the Seawolves took a quick 7-0 lead on Ross Tallarico’s 2-yard run, Maine reeled off 20 unanswered points. Joe Fagnano hit Kobay White with a 13-yard TD pass and a 42-yard scoring strike to tight end Shawn Bowman. Trailing 20-7 at the half, the Seawolves battled back behind McKee, who threw a 10-yard TD pass to RJ Lamarre and a 1-yard toss to Tyler Devera that pulled SBU within 27-21 late in the third quarter. After getting a fourth-down stop, Stony Brook drove 68 yards for what proved to be the winning score on the pass from McKee to Newton. A 46-yard Maine field goal attempt in the final minute was off target.

Bears beat Hampton 31-24 on the road.

Take nothing for granted. Just go 1-0 this week...but if Spiders don't melt down on turnovers, really like our chances.

2022 Richmond vs Maine

“…If Richmond wants to clearly state itself as a team to be reckoned with as a brutal three-game sprint to the end of the regular season looms — against New Hampshire, at Delaware and at home to play William & Mary — it first must get through Maine, and probably convincingly, too.

The Spiders have hovered around the top half of the CAA standings as its double-overtime loss to Elon is the only blemish in conference play on its record, with a 20-10 win over then-No. 16 Villanova two weekends ago its best win over CAA competition thus far on the season.

And with Richmond and Delaware being the only two teams in the league with both top-four passing offenses and defenses in terms of total yardage gained and allowed, respectively, the Spiders control the air on both ends well. Quarterback Reece Udinksi (1,919 yards, 17 touchdowns, two interceptions) and defensive back Aaron Banks (tied-CAA high three interceptions) are two of the best in the league at their positions.

That could create many issues for Maine, which started 0-4 but rallied off consecutive wins before losing to previously winless Stony Brook this past week, adding more misery to what’s been a tough year already for the Black Bears.

Their offense has looked much better in recent weeks, however, as Maine has scored at least 27 points in three consecutive games as the rushing attack has been strong in that timeframe with an average of 175.3 ground yards and six combined rushing scores to boot. But the Spiders should be highly favored — even on the road in Orono — as they’ll hope that their visit to New England will be more of a tune-up than an upset threat…”
