Postgame Quotes ? No. 22 Richmond 31, Hampton 28
“Credit first of all goes to Hampton for responding every time we put something on the board. They were wired in and ready to go and to their credit they battled. The biggest difference was that we couldn’t get the run going in the first half and we turned it around in the second. We began to control the line of scrimmage and execute on defense which led to good things for us.”
-- Richmond head coach Danny Rocco
“Really the whole game they (Hampton) were loading the box, so they were taking away the run. They were putting a lot of pressure on Kyle (Lauletta) to make throws, but we found a weakness when we went NASCAR, which is we run a play and then line up and run another play. We are in great shape, so we took advantage of them maybe not being in as good as shape as we are.”
-- Richmond RB Seth Fisher
““We got away from our keys. Fatigue was a part of it, but I don’t want to make any excuses. We just have to stick to what we’re coached to do. They just outplayed us in the second half. We came out on fire, ready to play. But it’s four quarters, and we have to be able to finish the game. We weren’t able to do that.”
-- Hampton head coach Connell Maynor
