  • So lets talk Richmond....

    They have 3 losses on the year which includes, Villanova, James Madison, and Virginia.

    Barely lost to Villanova and JMU. Obviously those were/are pretty good teams this year.

    Only lost at Virginia by a score of 16-0, so they played them VERY tough.

    When they win, they usually win big. They pretty much destroyed Maine, as we did, and that is the only common opponent the teams share.

    By looking at the stats, it appears they want to run it down your throat, and do a pretty darn good job of it.

    Josh Vaughan is their main RB (senior), and is a pure stud, gaining over 1600 yards this season with 19 touchdowns......that's Shonn Greene numbers.

    Eric Ward (junior) is their QB, and has been good this year as well throwing for over 2400 yards, 14 TD's, and 7 INT's, Their dominant running game definitely sets up the pass, but they are appear pretty well balanced.

    They average 32 points a game while only giving up 15 so their defense is equally tough. They average 190 yards per game on the ground and 177 yards through the air.

    Their defense gives up less than 100 yards per game on the ground and 164 yards through the air.

    They are pretty much solid all the way around. Any team that takes care of Appy St. by 20 points is pretty dang good. In that game, they ran the ball over 50 times for 238 yards.....wow.

    The bottom line, our run D had better bring their A game. This is gonna be one tough matchup!

      Gotta stop their running game. Great running game with the QB and RB. QB was way off yesterday. Not sure if it was App's D, being at App, or that he is bad.

          They are the Spiders? Here's what happened to one Spider.

            I prefer this one:

              While not disputing that Richmond must be a talented team, one must take into account that Appy St. QB, Armanti Edwards threw a career-worst five interceptions in the second half, leading to four Richmond scores.
              In my opinion, Appy St. beat themselves and Richmond happened to be talented enough to capitalize on the Appy errors...

                  Indeed. Ask UNH about that. Six turnovers is just way too much to overcome, for example.

                    At the same time we had 3 turnovers, that's 3 too many and 3 personal foul penalties, also 3 too many. Richmond will capitalize on any opportunities we give them. We have a great run defense and they have a great run offense, this will be a great match up. Plus, the Dome is always good for at least 3 points. If this isn't a sell out I have no faith left in humanity.

                    We should also think about hiring John Goodman.

                      Also, punts blocked in each of the first two PO games and missed kicks as well in both games.

                        This stat probably doesn't mean much but found it funny. On the season Richmond has 5128 yards of total offense. On the season UNI has 5128 yards of total offense. UNI has run 3 less plays so I guess you could say UNI has done more with their plays.

                        Looking at the stats on the season the 2 teams look the same. It seems like a good matchup for UNI since they seem to like to run the ball which plays into UNI's strength. I think their QB is better than what he showed against ASU but maybe he will be a little off again this week. My biggest fear is trying to score on their defense but UNI runs so many different sets that maybe they can confuse them some. I think this is an important game to have everyone heathy.

                            We need to manage our time outs better, that's for sure. I know it's been mentioned before but for some reason we seem to struggle after a change of possession. We blew two TO's in the first half because we couldn't come out after a CoP and get a play off. I think we blew one right away in the 2nd half.

                            One of these days we are gonna need those TO's. It would have changed the plays we ran probably at the end of the 1st half. I love our team and that is about the only thing that really bothers me.

                              Some interesting facts about Richmond:

                              Their coach, Mike London, is in his first year as Richmond's head coach.

                              Their running back Josh Vaughan needs one more rushing TD to tie the school record set by Tim Hightower in 2008 (Arizona Cardinals running back). Vaughan had 3 TD's and 133 yards against Appy State. He has rushed for triple digits 9 times this season.

                              "This is just the second time in school history the Spiders have had 11 wins — the first was last year. The team’s 37 wins during the last four years are the most during any four-year period in school history." From The Collegian Richmond's student paper.
