Last Time Out
Richmond bagged the Maine Black Bears 48-17 at Robins Stadium, jumping out to an early lead and not looking back. The Spiders scored 14 points on five plays under two minutes into the first quarter. QB Kyle Lauletta threw for a career hight 311 yards and four touchdowns while WR Brian Brown tallied 177 yards and a pair of TD's on seven receptions. It was the ninth 100 yard game of Brown's career.
National Ranking Streak
The Spiders are ranked 16/18 in the nation this week by both major polls, which marks the 18th consecutive week dating back to last season. Richmond was included in at least one of the major polls each week during the 2014 campaign, reaching as high as No. 8
Trevor Jones
The DB had a career-best eight tackles opposite the Black Bears including six solo stops which led all Spiders. Since the injury to Tafon Mainsah, Jones has taken on an increased role in the defensive backfield splitting time between, corner, safety and linebacker, thriving at each spot.
