2023 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponent's Countdown - Maine

[mojo-spider]

the Black Bears have growled loudly at The Brick House several times since 2010...they've won three out of four played on our home turf...

they've clearly got good mojo but you have to believe this game represents the Spiders chance to finish their march through the predicted bottom three squads in the CAA this season with another solid win...I expect 3-0 is where we'll need to be at the end of this stretch to keep pace in the Championship battle...

in contrast to the Spiders schedule Maine opens with these four games before traveling south to Richmond...at FBS Florida International...at FCS powerhouse North Dakota State...Rhode Island...at William and Mary...brutal, murderous, pick your own adjective...

ha! by the time they get to The Brick House they'll be well seasoned and could be anything from searching for their first win, to a proven Championship contender...

the Bears have good mojo at The Brick House...I expect we'll need to be ready either way!

enjoy the Countdown...

Go Spiders!

This feels like about 38-14 to me.

The lack of run game has been an issue for years. Even last year we couldn’t run when we needed to. Not sure if personnel or scheme but we need to figure out something different for next year (along with other things). Seems to me to be scheme given how long we e struggled.

You omit the third and most important component -- execution.

we haven't run in 7 years, and now we struggle to stop it !! please recruit the 225 pd. back and let the munchkins alone, or convert a tight end. how about brooks heagarty in the backfield on on short yardage

On the radio it says the Spiders are chasing a playoff spot in the CAA. That ship has sailed Richmond ESPN radio…

 

[Eight Legger]

I mean, we might be chasing it, we’re just never going to catch it…

It isn’t over till it is over!🕸️🕷️🏈

True, but with losses to Morgan State and Hampton AT HOME, I feel pretty confident saying it's over. That said, the home field advantage isn't there. Our administration and athletic dept isn't good at winning, but they specialize in running fans off.

Who is starting at QB tomorrow?

 

[URTOM68]

Who is starting at QB tomorrow?

probably Hardy; Wickersham is out.

 

[Eight Legger]

Who is starting at QB tomorrow?

That depends. Are you available?

 

[URSpider95]

That depends. Are you available?

Haha I think I still have eligibility

Who is starting at QB tomorrow?

Think they said Coleman yesterday on radio show, could have heard wrong.

Look the key is the OL and if they don’t start opening running lanes, it don’t matter
who we have at QB. Both lines were suppose to be deep and our strengths. Frankly
we are in trouble and I have no faith in the team making a run.

 

[KE Spider]

Line play not what was anticipated for sure. Believe "quick release" Udinski with high accuracy opened up the run thereby making O line look stronger than they have proven this season.

there is a lot of truth here. I'm beginning to wonder if the O line was ever that talented. the receiving core has indeed dropped off.

The OL has little to no push and in short yardage, we have higher chance of not making it vs succeeding.

Udinski’s quick release and his versatile targets,all mature college players, combined with Billy Cosh’s play calling and offensive strategy,were a perfect storm for UR.All of which will be difficult to duplicate in the future even with a continued weak schedule.Today we have a completely opposite type of perfect storm.
