[Stonewall D]

Interestingly, this prediction shows a UR victory of 32 to 22 over the Great Danes.

Can we lock in the realtimerpi schedule predictions and just start prepping for the playoffs? 9-2 and we beat JMU & W&M again? Deal.

 

[URSpider95]

I'll go with a 31-27 victory for the Spiders over the Great Danes.

 

[Spider B]

35-21 Spiders. Danes haven't seen an offense like this. Spiders are focused and take the crowd out of the game early.

 

[SpiderFan]

Yeah on the preview it shows that Albany has the 8th best offense out of the CAA's 12 teams, that won't get it done against a Spider team that routinely puts up 30+ points. Spiders 38-20

 

[WebSpinner]

yes, well but there was stony brook. hope that game forces our guys to play to the level they will need. we are a very average team when not playing well.

Insightful.

At UVA we were hitting on all cylinders on both sides of the ball and special teams. I think first not having Collins hurt initially and now
Goodall is coming into his own, though not the power of Collins. Second, our defense seems to take a while to adjust to other teams
offenses. Such as against NSU, the first quarter they moved the ball on us and we could not move. Our first score was special teams, but
everything adjusted after halftime. Stonybrook we had more yards but lousy decision making on offense and special teams.

We have a very good defense and offense, but if we don't have the fire like UVA or the preparation, then we are not the same team. You cannot
expect to play on all cylinders all the time, but we need consistency BIG TIME.

 

[SpiderRick]

Danes had a week off to prepare, I think it will be tight.
Spiders, 28-27

 

[Spider B]

Looking at their 2 deep, their D line looks small. Hopefully that means our O line will be able to push them around. Big day for #2 would be huge.

 

[WebSpinner]

MO, someone has to be insightful here to bring others back to reality

 

[SpiderFan26]

Trey Moore starting at KAT instead of Kieran Gregory. Gregory not found on the 2 deep. Gregory is a little better pass rusher however Moore is fairly good for an outside linebacker in coverage. Not really any drop off just something interesting from the 2 deep

Craig Haley prediction:

No. 7 Richmond (4-1, 1-1 CAA) at No. 20 Albany (4-0, 1-0), 3:30 p.m.

Albany, behind star running back Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks, has had time to rest up for the biggest game since the Great Danes entered CAA Football. The Spiders, who have the pedigree, will want to force Albany to pass the ball. It worked last year when safety David Jones had four interceptions.

Pick: Albany

 

[MolivaManiac]

When Dave Coulson handed off the keys to Haley, I'm pretty sure he told him to pick against Richmond wheneve possible. It started when I called out Coulson for being the hack App State homer that he was about 10 years ago.

Here is to our "Gut Check Time Defense". Think they will carry us to victory today.

Our 3rd game in 4 against a team from NY. I wonder if that's a record for games in a season vs. NY teams?
