Yeah, I’m a joke for caring and wanting for some accountability. Lol
2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Lehigh
- Thread starter mojo-spider
- Start date
‘This affects me more than Huesman’ is wild… I appreciate you claiming to care and wanting accountability. Not enough people do. To b*tch and moan and how horrible this 10 win team is, is wild. They played horrible today. No doubt. You may be a huge part of this program, I have no idea.. if you are, you’re kicking them while they’re down which is absolutely atrocious… if you aren’t, f*uck off. They don’t need you and your seat at 6 home games. “I’m a bigger fan and care more about the game than the players and coaches care about losing” is f’ing ridiculous. You’re the one that feels that way!
Well let’s say both the thrower and the catcher have room for improvement. Dropped open passes and throwing into coverage were our issues today.
What were we doing at the end of the first half? I thought Matt Eberflus was running things for a minute. We should have throw twice to the endzone, then kicked a field goal if need be. Instead we ran the ball once, didn't call timeout and kicked. Ridiculous.

There was enough things botched by all involved to last deep into the off-season. A total team loss. Players and coaches.
Those are the types of mistakes that leave valuable points off the board. They don’t seem huge at the time but we made a bunch of them today…especially in the first half.
A missed opportunity for a TD instead settling for a fg. That and the 2 penalties on the first drive. Too many scoring opportunities for td were blown for one thing or the other left us taking field goals. Our execution was not there today - both sides of the ball.
This was certainly a good season for the Spiders but this was a really disappointing result to finish it off. Strategy and execution were both off today. It felt like we had a hangover from the disappointment of not getting a first round bye. That's certainly human nature but also disappointing that the staff and team leaders didn't do a bit more to guard against it.
Lots of blame all the way around. Upward and onward. Hopefully we can keep Cam Coleman around and have some success with the portal.

Well said Mo.
Think today was also a product of the ridiculously soft CAA schedule. We weren’t as battle tested as we’d want to be. Ironically think we have a chance to have a more difficult schedule in the Patriot League.
Lehigh did enough to beat us. They played with a bigger chip on their shoulder. We probably celebrated the regular season a little too much. We need to win the offseason and get better.
Look at the other CAA results today. UNH gets bombed by UT Martin. Rhody and Nova barely survive CCSU and Eastern Kentucky, respectively.
Somehow, incredibly, we played none of those 3 CAA teams. We were basically an unknown commodity after 12 games. Really can't blame the committee for having us play this weekend.
The CAA stinks, it has dishonest leadership, and I'm glad we are out the door.

Agreed. My major concerns about leaving the CAA are gone. We never play enough of the best teams to test ourselves enough for the playoffs. I hope nova and W&M join us, and then they stop adding teams.
Spiders been flirting with this type thing to happen all year. I turned on the radio broadcast after the game ended and caught the last bit of it. They were talking about the Spiders leading the nation in redzone FGs and how having points is great, not scoring TDs is not good.
It finally bit the team today. If combined with the fact that the defense made three bad plays all day and two of them went for TDs and the other being giving up a first down on 3rd and 17 on the play before one of the TDs

1000% correct. It is not easy to win 10 straight games no matter the opponents. But look at who we beat and how we beat them for the most part. The CAA is a terrible conference and we will look back at the decision to leave as the correct decision. Awful leadership has destroyed a once dominant FCS conference.
I think even Huesman said in the post-game wrapup show that the coaching was bad. But will there really be any repercussions? Time will tell.
I am going to disagree. The CAA offers the chance for post season play without winning the conference. In the Patriot, we have to win the conference every year. If we don't we won't sniff the playoffs.
It was disappointing to see Huesman visibly arguing with OC and DC ‘s in front of players and fans. No place for this in public view 😡
My take aways, among others mentioned:
Huesman is not a great field general and he is not a great game strategist. He needed to expect an increased focus on stopping ZPS. He missed it.
Huesman made too many strategic errors for the team to overcome.
Lehigh dominated the Time of Possession in the 2nd half. We dominated it in the first half. At the end of the game, it was almost even. Our defense was probably worn out.
