Richmond interception stops a drive on the 15. 3 mins left

48 yard NcSt FG to give them the lead. Wow.

[Ivytalk]

Richmond played well, particularly early, but State wore them down at the end.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

2 secs left. 54 yd FG to win?

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Wolfpack survive. Nice job, Richmond.

Did Richmond actually just pass up a 54-yard FG attempt to win with two seconds left, or am I reading the Gametracker wrong?

They tried for a hail mary instead, didn't make it.

WHAT??? You're kidding me...

We have 2 walk on kickers, one a soccer player last year. I guess Rocco didn't think either could hit from that distance. Disappointing end, but hell of an effort coming in as 23 point underdogs

Don't get me wrong--I'm happy as hell for Richmond. They played a great game. I just can't see not trying anything inside 60, especially with two seconds left...

Agree, I'm curious to hear Rocco's reasoning as to why we didn't try. We has called a TO, so had the time to think about it and get the FG team in.

Let's just say we folks at Liberty understand how the Spiders feel right now. That played out like many a Flames game in recent years.

We don't have a rostered kicker that can come close to hitting a 55 yarder. The decision to throw the ball in the end zone was the only option.

Great performance by our team. If we can maintain health, we may have a contender this year.

[URMite]

Disappointing but great game, going toe to toe.

Without our top receiver after the first couple minutes, up 21-10 near halftime, only scores after that were two 45+ yard field goals and a TD after we fumbled on our own eight.

We should move up in the polls this week. Very sound performance against a viable BCS opponent.
