The Game
• No. 5 Richmond is home for the third-consecutive week, hosting No. 11 New Hampshire in the CAA Football opener for both teams.
• The Spiders hold a narrow 10-9 advantage in the all-time series that has been dominated by the home team -- Richmond is 7-3 all-time versus UNH in games played in Richmond.
• Richmond has won four of its last five conference-openers.
• The teams last met at Cowell Stadium on Oct. 9, 2010, with the Wildcats winning 17-0.
• The match-up is one of three games in the FCS involving top-15 ranked teams this week.
Quick Slants
• Richmond enters the game ranked No. 5 in the Sports Network/Fathead.com Top 25, matching the Spiders’ highest spot in the poll since ranking No. 5 in the fourth week of the 2010 season.
• The Spiders have been ranked 10th or higher in 41 of the last 52 polls issued by the Sports Network since 2007, including a 38-consecutive poll stretch between 2007 and 2010.
• UR is 3-0 for the first time since 2009 (started 8-0) and one of three 3-0 FCS teams currently -- Richmond is the only undefeated team in the FCS that owns an FBS win (at Duke, 21-20, on Sept. 3).
• Richmond has won six-consecutive home games and that winning streak is tied for the third-longest active streak in the FCS behind Central Conn. State (15) and Jacksonville (10). In the eight-game history of Robins Stadium, the Spiders are 7-1.
• At 103.3 yards/game, senior WR Tre Gray is the 15th-leading receiver in the nation and ranked third in the league. He’s coming off a two-TD, 96-yard effort in last week’s win over VMI.
• Gray is 33 catches and 446 yards shy of the respective Richmond career records.
• Senior QB Aaron Corp has already recorded nine passes of 25-yards or longer this season -- as a team, Richmond had just 11 all last season.
• Richmond leads CAA Football in Red Zone defense this season, allowing opponents to score on just three of eight trips (38 percent).
• Junior LB Darius McMillan has recorded double-digit tackles in each of Richmond’s first three games and leads the Spiders (ranked third in the league) with 33 stops this season.
• Senior CB Tremayne Graham broke up three passes vs. VMI -- tied for the second-most recorded in an FCS game this season.
• Richmond is in its 128th season of football and the Spiders have recorded six-consecutive winning seasons, which is the longest streak at UR since seven-straight winning campaigns in the 1920s.
