Spiders lose to No. 6 Towson University

By Jack Nicholson | October 27, 2013

Terrance West led No. 6 Towson (8-1, 4-1 CAA) to a 48-32 victory over Richmond (2-6, 0-4) Saturday in Robins Stadium. West, who is the Football Championship Subdivision leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, had a career-high 272 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown to give the Tigers their ninth-straight road win. Richmond head coach Danny Rocco said a lot of West's runs had been schematically defended well, but West's physicality made it difficult to tackle him. "He is explosive and he really refuses to go down," Rocco said. After Richmond failed to score on its opening series, West took his second carry 79 yards, which set up his six-yard touchdown reception. His long run was important because it got both him and the team going, West said. Despite West's dominating performance, Richmond hung in the game for a while thanks to Richmond's passing offense.
