Richmond finds way to overcome 5 first-half turnovers

The scoreboard read 7-3 at the end of the first half in favor of the University of Richmond over Wagner College Saturday night, but the feeling of the game was very different from the score. Five first-half turnovers (three fumbles and two interceptions) prevented Richmond from capitalizing on its 229 yards of offense.

Dress Up. Dress down. It's football.

Richmond's first home football game of the season is Saturday. What do you plan on wearing? Will you dress up in pearls and a sundress or pinstripe shorts and Ray-bans? Or will you show your school spirit in a red and blue ensemble with a temporary spider tattoo emblazoned on your cheek? If you're like me, and grew up in the South, you'll probably wear something nicer to Saturday's football game than you've worn all school year.

The kick falls short and that gives the Spiders the victory, 23-21, their first over an FBS opponent since 2009, also Duke. With 5 seconds left, Duke looks to line up for a 60-yard field goal attempt. The punt rolls out of bounds at Duke's 37.

A career of coaches only causing doubt to outsiders

First, there was Dave Clawson. Then, when Clawson left before the 2008 season to coach at the University of Tennessee, in came Mike London who helped lead the University of Richmond to its first football National Championship in 2008. After a successful 2009 season, London left for the head coaching job at the University of Virginia and in stepped Latrell Scott, just 34 years old at the time.

This year, Spider Futbol back on campus

Last year, football returned to campus with much fanfare. This year, a pair of sports teams return back home with not as much attention paid to them. But I'm just as excited for them as I was for football. I'm talking about the men's and women's soccer teams.
