Rocco’s Record Impressive Following Losses

Spiders Against Ranked Opponents
Dating back to the start of the 2007 season, Richmond has posted a record of 21-17 against ranked opponents. The Spiders’ last win on the road against a ranked opponent came on October 16, 2010 when Richmond defeated No. 8 Massachusetts, 11-10.

Senior Ben Edwards and redshirt junior Stephen Barnette are the nation’s most prolific wide receiver combination. Edwards ranks third in the nation in receptions per game (8.8) and 26th in receiving yards per game (88.3), while Barnette is ranked ninth in the country in yards per game (108.2) and 24th in receptions per contest (6.2).
