I'd like to thank the Richmond offense, led by Cam Coleman, for getting the Spiders to Saturday's game versus the Rams at 2-1 in the CAA...I'll admit it, the win rekindled my Spiders mojo despite the continued long odds...
as poorly as we played through the Hampton game we're in a group of four squads at 2-1...this battle with the blue Rams probably eliminates the loser from serious Championship hopes...
Rhode Island seems to be by far the best FCS squad the Spiders have faced this season...and for the first time versus an FCS opponent Richmond will be a significant underdog...an unidentified defensive player in yesterday's local media session acknowledged that every game is now an elimination game for the Spiders...
facing a solid opponent, and with stakes this high, will likely require an extraordinary effort and execution in all three phases of the game to bring home a Spiders upset win...Cam Coleman and the offense gave Spiders fans hope last week that our offense had found itself...I can't wait to find out if it was real, or an anomaly...it's likely our defense won't stop the Rams powerful offense, but if they can control Rhody, maybe we can score enough points to win?...
a UR win and 3-1 in the CAA at the halfway mark would be where many thought we would be before the season began...after all we've been through since Morgan State that would be ironic...
enjoy the Prologue...
Go Spiders!
