2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Opponent's Countdown - Delaware State

[mojo-spider]

Delaware State has had a hard time winning football games in recent years...however, they do hold a dubious FCS football record...losing 105-0 versus Portland State in 1980 is the largest losing margin ever in FCS football...like Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak that one may never be broken...

for the third straight week the Spiders could be a significant favorite over a rebuilding program...State head coach Lee Hull expects better things than last season's 1-10, 0-5 MEAC, but on MEAC Media Day the Hornets were picked to finish in the MEAC basement again...

besides getting the win, the most important thing about this game is the team learning what it takes to win on the road...no doubt if these Spiders hope to defend their CAA Championship they will have to win on the road in the much tougher games CAA games ahead...I believe we were 4-0 on the road in the CAA last season..

the game winds up our non conference schedule and Satchmo would be surprised if we don't finish 3-1...the Terriers, Buccaneers and Hornets are all rebuilding...Richmond is in most FCS Top 20 preseason polls and picked to finish 2nd in the CAA...these are wins a team that lives up to these expectations wins on the field...

enjoy the Countdown!

Go Spiders!

Matter of time for a QB injury when he is running the ball a dozen times/game. Makes sense to run when it’s the best option, but we’ve been burned in past years with QB runs - example is Mancuso in VT game. That injury cost us several games.

Of course, when most of the fan base thinks QB2 is the superior option, not much risk running QB1. Let’s see what Coleman has in store.

Very unfortunate for Nick D. Take time with his head - can’t rush that one.

 

[32counter]

If Nick D gets cleared we’ll see him on Saturday.He and Coleman click on the gridiron.

 

[ncspiderfan]

Game notes are out on schedule, but have Kyle and Nick starting, so obvious cut and paste job by someone again.
Also just watched press conference and Foster-Powell RB is making the trip, but Huesman said they would see how much he played. At any rate he is not listed at RB either, but that may be intentional after King's showing last week.

you mean the game where Mancuso had already picked the first down and 20 plus yards and decided not to slide? That's a dumb play by a player who has a library of them in his career here.

 

[urfan1]

That "dumb play" was part of what made him who he was.

"Losing to either of Wofford, Charleston Southern or Delaware State would be a shock..."
Wofford has been our biggest test of the season so far. The great Satchmo is right again, this is a must win for us.

 

[SFspidur]

Spiders should hire JOC for athletic PR...he's got the errors down pat with "breaks/brakes" confusion.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Glad Coleman is in but no Nick, plus Huesman clueless in handling a gunslinger. Not sure about this one.

This is brutal to watch. Can't get anything going, shooting ourselves in the foot, and struggling to make tackles.

Just not a well coached or motivated team

Well that's better! We should have complained on here sooner.

The Spiders came out flat.

Oh My

Garcia going to wake up in a cold sweat about that on tonight. Kind of shocking as he does not miss many.

 

[SFspidur]

Ugh, wasted opportunity.
