Team Notes
• Richmond improved to 11-0 following an in-season loss since the end of the 2006 season... Not since 2006 has Richmond lost back-to-back games in the same season.
• The Spiders have won both overtime games this season (both at Robins Stadium) and improved to 10-1 all-time in games decided in overtime.
• The victory by Richmond snapped a string of six-straight wins by the road team in the Richmond-JMU series... Not since 2003 has the home team won in the series and not since 2002 have the Spiders defeated the Dukes in Richmond.
• Saturday's game was the first overtime decision in the 28-game all-time series and marked the fourth-consecutive Richmond-JMU to be decided either in the last minute or overtime... Six of the last seven Richmond-JMU games have been one-score decisions... All-time scoring in the series: Richmond 619, JMU 614.
• Richmond increased its lead over JMU in the all-time series to 16-12.
• Saturday's game was the fourth sell-out in the five-game history of Robins Stadium.
• Richmond improved to 20-8 versus ranked opponents since the start of the 2007 season.
Individual Notes
• Senior LB Eric McBride tied his career-high in tackles (18), which he previously set versus Coastal Carolina this season.
• McBride moved to third on Richmond's all-time tackles list (428) and needs just two more tackles to take over second place -- currently held by Larry Braun (1977-80). The all-time record at Richmond is 643 tackles by Eric Johnson (1989-92).
• Senior LB Patrick Weldon recorded a career-high 16 tackles, as did sophomore LB Darius McMillan (14).
• Senior DT Martin Parker recorded a sack in the game, and moved to ninth on Richmond's all-time with 17.0... Parker has 3.5 sacks this season.
• Senior CB Justin Rogers broke the CAA Football career record for kickoff returns in the game -- a record held by former Villanova star and nine-year NFL veteran Brian Westbook... Rogers needed just four yards for the record and finished the game with 56 yards on three returns... Rogers has 2,486 yards in his career.
• Sophomore K Wil Kamin improved to a perfect eight-for-eight on field goals in his career (all this season).
• Sophomore John Laub made first career start and threw his first career TD pass -- 41-yards to Tre Gray that tied the game at 7-7 in the second quarter.
• Laub's pass to Gray was his second TD reception this season and 10th of his carer.
• Laub becomes the third different Richmond QB to lead a game-winning drive this season -- junior Aaron Corp led the game-winning drive in OT to beat Elon, 27-21 (9/18) and true freshman Montel White's drive won the game at UMass, 11-10 (10/16).
