2023 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponent's Countdown - Stony Brook
- Thread starter mojo-spider
- Start date
Warm up the party bus, but fortunately only as far as Islip.
BB said Russ talked to team about proper block after UVA penalty last night
Spiders faked a punt vs Michigan State for a first down. In fact the guy that ran it was Spider leading rusher.
You have got to be crying in your soup about now.
Cry away dude. You show you colors when you bitch about a win.
We had every reason to feel sorry in spite of the adversities we faced, even before the game began. Go Spiders, you showed heart and grit!
They played with the Heart of a Champion today!
Also, good things happen when we fly instead of bus.
Feel free to bash the coaches and the AD. They are professionals. Lay off the players.
It may not have been pretty, but the team showed the grit and heart of a champion today. Ill take that any day.
Agreed. Guys were resilient and found a way to win when there were so many times it looked like it wasn’t going to be our day. Definitely things that can be improved and we should aim high - but sometimes you have to win ugly.
Spiders jump to 2-2 in CAA opener despite injuries
Spiders came into Saturday's contest against Stony Brook without their starting quarterback. Faced with adversity, Richmond adjusted.
A win is a win, but oof. Four interceptions against a terrible team, even with two backup QBs, not inspiring.
Given the choice, you want to win, or to be inspired? Being both was not an option.
You must be crazy, this kind of game is inspiring, guess you should have played.
Great win from the Spiders!! First one on Long Island in 10 years!! Every CAA game is a blood bath… for all the haters, that’s probably one of Russ’s best wins, 3rd string QB all second half and the boys found a way to start CAA play on a great note! Momentum for the guys between the lines!
Just giving my opinion, that's all. I'm not going to advance us to the playoffs because we beat an 0-3 team at the buzzer by one point, but yes, gutsy to get the W given the injuries.
It was an upback who ran that one. On the coach's show last week though, Trusler asked Huesman said they have a fake punt play for him and were going to use it in that game if Michigan State gave us a certain look. But they didn't, so they went to the direct snap. But sounds like Trusler will get his shot at some point.

Please don’t throw this pass again to the wide side of the field in the wind and rain,especially with the DBack playing so tight.Not sure I get that play calling.
I agree that 3rd down sideline pass that resulted in a pick 6 was questionable. I will also point out that the play calling on the game winning drive was excellent with a nice mix of short passes and runs that were well executed. Kudos to our young offensive tackles that stepped up yesterday due to injuries and our Warrior, Ryan Coll who opened some nice running lanes with Tom Elia and Keith Gouveia. Great job also by Ashten Snelshire to come as a 3rd string QB and lead us on a game winning drive in bad weather. It was not pretty but ended with a Beautiful result. A WIN!
Overall thought that Ashten Snelshire is able to throw a better pass than either #1 or #2.Surprised by the kid’s coolness and mobility.
Thought he looked very polished for being thrown into that situation and agree the last drive was well done.
True freshman, Matthew Traynor is showing some flashes on special teams. His block of the extra point was huge at the time. Hoping we get to see him in more than 4 games as he has good size and speed for a freshman DB and looks like he could have an impact moving forward. Tough call with our depth in the defensive backfield and two fifth year safeties leaving after this year. With Parker hurt, he may have to burn that redshirt.
Amir Hall that transferred to Albany already has 2 picks and 5 pass breakups in their first 4 games.
Caught a few minutes of one of their games and they kept throwing at him and he kept coming through.
Spilled milk I guess, but he was the one that left who was not a grad and it was odd we lost one that way.
The reason for transfer-How do you spell poaching?
