Spiders hold on late to upset second-ranked JMU, 35-29

By David Weissman | October 20, 2012

Beating the second-ranked team in the country seemed unbelievable for unranked Richmond, and a fourth-quarter James Madison comeback nearly left the Spiders with a heartbreaking loss. After building a lead with less than seven minutes remaining in the game, Richmond needed two failed JMU heaves toward the end zone from 30 yards away as time expired to finish off the upset, 35-29. "I'm really excited about the outcome of the game," Richmond coach Danny Rocco said.
