To sum it up, we're just a bad football team making a lot of mistakes.........AGAINST FORDHAM
Almost,Ricky.We are a bad football team BECAUSE we make a lot of dumb mistakes.
Counter, excellent analysis that gets lost on 99% of this crowd
I presume that you are in the 1% with me.
excellent assumption. no question the loss was ugly, but I subscribe to the theory "players have to make plays". English hasn't played in 3 years, let's hope in 2 weeks he isn't making those throws
Counter...I did not see the game, but what you describe sounds pretty much like, or worse, than what we've seen since Coach Huesman and staff arrived particularly factoring in it was Fordham not a CAA team...
it looks like our coaching staff cannot find ways to eliminate these breakdowns and mistakes, or the players can't, or won't, make the effort to improve
either way it looks to be another very long and dismal October and November...
but wait, there was that 2005 Richmond team that turned around...coached by Dave Clawson with Coach Huesman on the defense...
Go Spiders!
Larson had a great day,3-3 FGs primarily because we don’t have any big running backs to convert short yardage situations:
1. 4th and 1 on Fordham 15 yd line.6:03 2Q
Result FG.
2. 4th and 1 on Fordham 24 yd line.13:25 4Q
Result FG.
UR has ball on Fordham 29 yd line.4th down and 3.UR throws a pick.6:33 4Q.
We have zero confidence in our running game.
Why not run Ryan Coll from an H back position?
1. 4th and 1 on Fordham 15 yd line.6:03 2Q
Result FG.
2. 4th and 1 on Fordham 24 yd line.13:25 4Q
Result FG.

Feels like we've been hearing about 'bad angles' and bad 'gap fits' and 'missed fits' ever since Russ got here and nothing changes.
On day 1, he told us that we were going to take care of the football and play good defense. To date, we have done neither. I'd love for these things to change on Saturday and permanently moving forward.

We only played 7 offensive linemen on Saturday.We aren’t deep at all.It was 80F, it was hot,UV was likely 9.Salyers and Coll plus the 5 OL starters played.That’s it.No Lamp,no Singleton,no Elia,no Snavely,no Seekford,no Messmager.Could have been a shortage of seats on the bus.Amazed that the pocket for Beau stood up as well as it did.The AstroTurf at Fordham looked like the worn carpet of the old Veterans Stadium in Philly.
If it wasn’t for the WR transfers,we’d wouldn’t be doing anything on offense.We sorely miss Castellano as an additional target at WR.

It was an absolute joke that we took a bus to Fordham especially on a Friday.Wonder if we would have bussed to Stony Brook?Hopefully,we don’t bus to Maine.
Key words being coached by Dave Clawson. Did whoever write that article mention they had Two UofR HOF QBs and another one that went on to set school and sun belt records at Troy University before starting getting drafted? And he was a freakin backup to boot. Oh and Tim Hightower and Josh Vaughn and Arman Shields. And a fan base at the time with actual football fans in the crowd. Oh and a future ACC head coach. Maybe in a couple of years we’ll have some of that top talent we’re recruiting coached up. But from my seat they’re virtually no parallels to that team right now other than we are 1-3 and we made a QB change. I’ll gladly eat my words should we turn it around but all I can think is Jim Mora screeching “Playoffs” when I saw that headline.

A Richmond loyalist after our loss to Fordham in the Bronx on Saturday.She couldn't take it any longer.It was too much.
That 2005 team lost 7-0 to Layfayette, then beat Maine, lost to Vandy in money game and I believe went on an 8 game win streak counting a playoff win against the #2 seed as I remember.
One can hope.
