2023 was another big year for Richmond as the Spiders reached the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2016. Richmond earned a share of the CAA title for the first time since 2015 and advanced to the FCS Playoffs Second Round for the second year in a row. The Spiders were at or near the top of the national rankings in key statistical categories and eight Spiders were named All-CAA while punter Aaron Trusler, offensive lineman Ryan Coll and linebacker Tristan Wheeler earned All-America honors. Richmond regained possession of the Capital Cup with a thrilling 27-26 victory over William & Mary, giving the Spiders a share of the CAA title and Huesman's 100th head coaching victory. After starting the season 3-5, Huesman and the Spiders put up a seven game win streak including a win over No. 22 Rhode Island to end the season with a 9-4 overall record.
The Spiders open the 2024 season on the road at Virginia Saturday, Aug. 31 before opening the home slate at Robins Stadium with a meeting against Wofford Sept. 7 – the first of six home games scheduled for 2024. 2024 season ticket deposits/renewals are available for fans here or by calling the ticket office at 1-877-SPIDER-1.
