Last Time Out
It was a Homecoming to remember for DB David Jones who guided Richmond (7-1, 5-0 CAA) to a 38-31 victory over UAlbany (2-6, 1-3 CAA) with a Richmond and CAA record four interceptions and a fumble recovery.
Not to be overshadowed was RB Jacobi Green who had another monster game on the heels of his sterling effort opposite JMU that earned him CAA Offensive Player of the Week honors. He galloped for 186 yards on the ground to with a pair of scores on 34 attempts. The senior now has 779 rushing yards this season, which are a career-best mark with at least three games left to play in 2015.
Junior WR Brian Brown continued his career-year, adding 178 yards through the air to his season total, giving him 876 for the season in just seven games. He also added a touchdown, which ties his career-high for a single season with four. Reggie Diggs continued to compliment Brown in a big way, gaining 71 yards through the air on seven catches with a touchdown mixed in. QB Kyle Lauletta threw for 293 yards on 20-33 passing with a pair of touchdowns and three picks.
David Jones - National Player of the Week
The redshirt-junior came into the game with three picks so far this season that were already tied for the CAA lead. He added five tackles to cap off his historic effort. He is the first player in Richmond football history to collect four picks in a game and just the fourth player in CAA history to do so. The last CAA player to collect four picks in a game was Rhode Island's Kevin Smith who did so in October of 1988.
For his efforts the St. Petersburg, Fla. native has earned two National Player of the Week honors from the NCAA and STAT FCS. He was also the CAA Defensive Player of the Week. With 10 interceptions now in his career, Jones moves into a tie for eighth all-time in the Richmond record books with Patrick Weldon, Bob Leprete and Ray Easterling. Jeff Nixon is the all-time Richmond leader with 23 followed by Scott Burton (16) and three others all tied at 12.
National Ranking Streak
The Spiders move up one spot in both the STATS FCS Poll and the FCS Coaches Poll, achieving their highest ranking so far this season. The recognition marks the 22nd consecutive week dating back to last season that the Spiders have been ranked nationally. Richmond was included in at least one of the major polls each week during the 2014 campaign, reaching as high as No. 8.
