Albany vs. Spiders

[urmite]

Albany has a stronger strength of schedule than we do.

We both played Maine, URI, JMU

We have
83 in FBS Maryland
83 in FCS Hampton
84 in FCS VMI

They have
91 in FBS Buffalo
50 in FCS Holy Cross
65 in FCS Duquesne (I believe the only team of the 6 with a winning record) - 2 wins over Kentucky Christian & Alderson-Broaddus

They have been outscored 113-7 in the month of October, playing their back-up QB, and playing at our place. Maine a team we hammered, turned around and hammered Albany. Yeah, they hung with JMU for a while but VAD threw 5 INT's in that game and JMU still won by 14. Remind me again why this is not going to be a cakewalk.

As SpiderRick pointed out "Comes to mind just two years ago the Spiders lost both Gardner Webb and Rhode Island by identical 12-10 scores just sayn"

Although I understand that they have a marching band. When was the last Richmond fielded a band?

I have a vague recollection of a an embarrassingly small group actually marching on the field. Of course it was before electric lights

Have no fear as we will win easily.

In the late 50's my dad was in the marching band at Richmond. Apparently it was a pretty good band. But not anymore.

Got lucky, did everything wrong on special teams and defense and still won. Yoder has lost his confidence. We have no linebackers. Going to be tough 3 games coming up.

Woof. The less said about that game, the better. But we got the result.

You were saying???

Game could easily have been 21-0 UR in first six minutes. Play continued to get more and more sloppy rest of first half but did have 300 yards of offense in that first half. Second half played completely out of control in all aspects of the game. Albany never gave up and that allowed them to get awfully close.

Yeah, Yoder should just leave, he's done. And you are right, Omar Howard despite having an All CAA year is just killing us.

Thank you 26, some people seem to think these kids have to be perfect on every play. Not even the Pros can do that.

 

[Stonewall D]

A win is a win. Great game by the Spids. UR won and JMU lost.

D I agree with all except -- good enough to escape with a win game
