The no. 17 University of Richmond Spiders watched a late lead and a shot at an upset slip away against no. 7 University of New Hampshire when the Wildcats scored a last-minute touchdown to beat Richmond 29-26. The Spiders had a total of 469 yards of offense, but wasted some scoring opportunities before watching senior quarterback Andy Vailas come in for the injured Sean Goldrich and lead New Hampshire to its comeback victory.
End of Game: Strauss fires over the middle to Reggie Diggs who trys to lateral to Brian Brown. However, the backward pitch falls to the turf though, and the clock winds down. The Spiders let a big one slip through their fingers as New Hampshire wins 29-26.
The Spiders earned the victory, 42-17, Saturday night in Robins Stadium against Hampton. While Strauss continued to display his talent, the true star of the game was Jacobi Green, who ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns on just 15 carries. The defense made a high-powered Hampton offense look mediocre. Justin Williamson and Aaron Roane each recorded a sack, and the defense made one takeaway on a fumble.
After dominating in their first game of the season, the Richmond Spiders got a taste of their own medicine Saturday as the University of Virginia Cavaliers beat Richmond, 45-13. The Spiders came out swinging, taking the first possession of the game all the way to the redzone, but came away with only a field goal to show for it. On Virginia's first possession, the Richmond defense forced a punt after a single first down, but it was all Cavaliers from that point on.
End of Game: T.J. Moon runs it one more time as the clock mercifully hits all zeros. The final score from Charlottesville: Virginia 45 - Richmond 13. Tune in next week as the Spiders return home to take on Hampton. Until then Spider fans, thanks for reading.

That being said, let’s take a look at the three biggest storylines for Saturday's game.
