Fitz had seven tackles, two tackles for loss including a sack (13-yard loss), and a game-defining interception in last Saturday's come-from-behind win over Howard. His second career interception early in the fourth quarter inside the Bison ten-yard line set up the Spiders' game-winning touchdown on the next play. Â
Fitz, a senior from Leesburg, who transferred to Richmond after his freshman season at JMU, is the team's active leader in games played (44), games started (25) and consecutive games started (18).
Behind The Web will be held throughout the college football season on 12 consecutive Thursdays, including the Spiders' bye week. The program will be archived on richmondspiders.com and in the Audio Vault at espnrichmond.com for on demand listening.
Behind The Web is a production of Spider Sports Properties from Playfly Sports and ESPN Richmond, the radio home of the Spiders for 20 consecutive years. In addition to Bar West, Spider sponsors for the show are University of Richmond School of Professional & Continuing Studies, Luck Chevrolet, Dan Caldwell, representative of Osaic Wealth Incorporated, Pepsi, Davenport & Co. and Invest 529.Â
