really looking forward to seeing how the much younger and less experienced Spiders perform against the Patriot League's best...the result Saturday should be a good measure of how far the rebuilt squad has come in fall camp, and perhaps how far we have to go in the battle for a Championship in the PL...
with the exception of our placekicking game, Coach Huesman has generally been very positive about his team...there is lots of youth and less experience than we'd like, but the exodus of starters has created opportunities for talented and promising younger players who fans can hope will rise to the occasion...
Lehigh will test and pressure us on both sides of the ball...there's no reason to believe they'll do much differently than they did in last November's win...two things beat us then...the failure to finish with TDs in the red zone and long chunk play TDs...
with our lack of a placekicking game we may have little choice than to try and finish drives with TDs and two point conversions...in November the Spiders rolled up 345 yards of offense against this defense but still came up short...our new backfield and receiver's will have to step up against the PL's best defense...
our front seven and young, but promising secondary, will have to control another member of the Yoder family and his backfield partner Green, and prevent the "run first" Lehigh offense from another back breaking 65 yard TD from Johnson to Jamiel!...everyone returns at the Lehigh skilled positions...
like Coach Huesman said yesterday the winner of this game will likely be the team that executes the best...that's my hope, that these rebuilt Spiders will execute well enough to give the PL's best a good battle...win, or lose, if the Richmond team plays well we should be even better by the time the bulk of our Patriot League schedule begins in October...there will be a lot of football left to play for Richmond and Lehigh!
enjoy the Prologue and let's see where we are!
Go Spiders!
