Quick Slants:
• No. 4 Richmond looks to do something Saturday it hasn't done in 399 days -- bounce back from a loss -- when the Spiders travel to Georgetown for a 1 p.m. ET game.
• The reigning National Champions had their 17-game winning streak snapped last week with a 21-20 loss to then-No. 4 Villanova.
• That winning streak was a school record, a state Division-I record, the longest winning streak in the FCS since 17-straight by App. State in 2006-07 and the seventh-longest in FCS history.
• Richmond still owns the longest road win streak in the NCAA (tied with Boise State) and looks to make it 12-straight Saturday.
• The Spiders have not lost back-to-back games since the 2006 season and are 3-0 following a loss under Mike London.
• Although Georgetown leads the all-time series 5-2, Richmond won last season 48-0 at UR Stadium in the teams' first meeting since 1935. The Spiders have never defeated the Hoyas in D.C. (0-2).
• Saturday's game marks Richmond's first game at GU since an 84-0 loss on Oct. 31, 1900 -- the worst loss in program history.
• Senior QB Eric Ward became the Spiders all-time leading passer last week and now owns every major career QB record at Richmond.
• Senior RB Justin Forte leads the CAA in rushing (88.3 yds/gm) and is averaging 105.5 over the last six games.
• The Spiders have 13 interceptions in 2009, with 12 coming in the last five games.
• With 14.0 TFL and 5.5 sacks, senior DT Martin Parker leads a Spider defense that ranks third in the nation against the run (72.0 yds/gm).
• Richmond is undefeated in its last nine regular-season non-league games against FCS opponents.
• Saturday's game marks the Spiders' latest regular-season non-conference tilt since Nov. 15, 1975 versus West Virginia.
