The Game
• Richmond and No. 15 Delaware clash Saturday at Delaware Stadium in Newark in a meeting of former CAA Football South Division rivals.
• The Spiders have won in their last two visits to Delaware Stadium -- an epic, 62-56 five overtime triumph in 2007 and a 16-15 thriller in 2009.
• Richmond has won four of the last five in the series, but Delaware has had the upper-hand in the all-time series, 19-8, that dates back to 1931.
Quick Slants
• Richmond has scored first in six of the nine games this season and is outscoring the opposition 51-39 in the first quarter.
• Senior WR Tre Gray became the Spiders’ all-time leader in both receptions and receiving yards vs. Maine, surpassing the 26-year records held by former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin. Gray is third among all active FCS players in career catches (224) and yards (2,891). Melvin congratulated Gray via Twitter.
• With 977 yards through nine games, Gray is on pace for just the third 1,000-yard season by a receiver in school history. The last time was 1992 when Rod Boothes set the school’s single-season record with 1,115 yards.
• Gray leads CAA Football and nationally, is fourth in catches (8.4/game) and fifth nationally in yards (108.6/game) this season.
• Redshirt freshman WR Stephen Barnette made a leaping, one-handed, highlight-reel touchdown catch at ODU last week -- a play that was No. 10 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 last Saturday night.
• Gray and Barnette are the league’s top two clutch WRs on third down this season, with Gray converting 16 times on 18 third-down plays, while Barnette is 16 for 16 with a league-best three TDs coming on third-down plays.
• Gray’s 76 catches this season set a new single-season record at Richmond.
• Senior QB Aaron Corp has recorded three 300-yard passing games this season and is ranked third in the league (20th FCS) at 248.4 passing yards per game.
• Corp has thrown for 2,236 yards this season and 2,881 in his 14-game career at Richmond, which ranks 10th on the Spiders’ all-time list.
• Corp’s 2,000-yard passing season is just the 10th-ever recorded at Richmond.
• Junior LB Darius McMillan has recorded double-digit tackles in eight of the nine games this season and ranks third in the league (12th in the FCS) at 11.1 tackles/game.
