Richmond @ Illinois State Friday 6:30pm

That answers that! Graduation ceremonies would have made a Saturday game damn near impossible

I'm disappointed they left this one on ESPN3. Should be a very high quality game. The Spiders are playing well on both sides of the ball and are as healthy as one could hope for this time of year. Our special teams can be a real mess.

I'm well aware of Roberson and it appears your RB is on a roll just like our guy Green is. Any other insights on the Redbirds?

[ISUMatt]

It'll be an ESPN2 game
UPDATE
Looks like I misread a tweet and we aren't the ESPN2 game

Pretty big understatement. Last year he was the OPOY in the MVFC a conference that had 3 senior RBs that ended up on NFL rosters. This year he had a heck of a year again and was again named OPOY. Now it is debatable whether he should have been due to the SIU QBs season this year, but that is another topic.

Coprich is a great runner and is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. Roberson has not been great throwing the ball since coming back from his broken thumb, but he is still a play maker and can give teams fits when running the read option in combination with Coprich.

I was really impressed with Richmond on Saturday so this should be a great game on Friday night! Looking forward to watching it!

[caribbeanhen]

even thought the CAA is down, Richmond is the best we have and I think they will represent the CAA well in this game, Illinois State just looks a bit out of synch and not as good as they did this time last year (but then again they were playing vs MVFC teams), not predicting any Richmond victories but the RedBirds will get a good game from the Spiders and if not careful will get knocked out at home...

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Line opens at ISU -14. I find that line a bit outrageous.

Sagarin has you as 12 point dogs, add 3 for home advantage, and according to the computers your should lose by 15. Also remember they are trying to make money, so why would they put something out that isn't objective? Everyone thinks you can have a chance, NDSU fans will root for Richmond so we can stay at home. If Richmond comes in hot ISUr could certainly lose. No one is discounting that.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

I understand.

Richmond is low in the sagarin because we played the 3 teams that finished at the bottom of the CAA. At this point, that's pretty irrelevant.

Would beating Stony Brook instead of Albany somehow better prepare us for this game?

It seems like the lines have been largely off target so far this playoff season. This is a very good Richmond team and this game has the potential to be the best of the Quarterfinal match-ups. Looking forward to watching the game. Go Spiders! Hope your guys Play like they did against a Vad Lee led JMU.

Actually yes. If it had been at the beginning of the season when Stacey Bedell was still playing running back for SB. He plays a lot like Coprich.

Richmond is low because of the 30 point loss to 3-9 Maryland, and losses to UNH, Nova. Regardless, I think you have gotten better, and the lines should be -8ish. How is the Richmond run defense? Have you seen any read option teams? How big is your D line?

The closest - really only - comparison is what we saw at JMU and we gave up a pile of points.

Maryland looked alot worse than it really was because of our punt coverage disaster. We lost by a combined 6 points to the other 2. One made the playoffs and the other had a shot in the final week.

The Roberson Copich speed concerns me. We'll score points.

Is Roberson still banged up? What's with the lack of passing?

Read option is a great equalizer. Especially when you have a future NFL prospect at RB, a former Big 10 QB. Roberson doesn't pass well with his hand injury, but wasn't terrible before. If your team can play assignment football, keep Coprich in check you can win. They don't have multiple weapons, so theoretically they can be stopped. In practice your players will struggle with the speed the offense is run at even if you install it on your second team for a week.

Lines open to get action. The action then quickly moves the line to where the book will make money no matter what the outcome is.

Don't disagree but vegas doesn't posts outrageous lines. People might take action on the under but it doesn't mean it is right.

It's been open a few hours and it's already down to +12. And I don't bet.

I'll give you 10 to 1 odds I can get you gambling by the end of the week???

[Redbirdgrad]

The only way Richmond has a chance here is to get up by 14+ early and make the Birds throw the ball. If this game is within a touchdown either way heading into the 4th quarter, and ISU can run the read/option all game, ISU will do what it always does... pull away late.

I think an appropriate line for this game is in the 9 1/2 range.

It is safe to say Spider fans will be few in numbers at the game. Those there will be spirited and vocal. What we lack in numbers we compensate with pride. We are respectful to our host. In turn the host for the most part compliment our demeanor. Under dog status does not bother us. We have fared well over the years visiting stadiums and teams ranked higher. I do expect a slug match type of game. I hope we win. If we do not this team has represented and exceeded our expectations for this season. Healthy well wishes to you tonight. I am one Spider that can not wait. Is it 6:30 yet?

[SpiderJPO]

Paward is correct about the Spider fans. While small in number we are a proud and spirited bunch that will represent out team and school with great pride. We will respect our opponent but always will feel confident that we will compete and win. Same feeling for this game. We will show up and compete and may the best team on that day win. The Peanut Gang is 6 strong and has arrived in Normal, Illinois ready for game day. Looking forward to meeting some ISU fans today and seeing a great game tonight. Trip started out super with some good times last night at Lucca Grill. Game day is hear and time to Move the Chains!

this game will come down to the final seconds, I like the match up, We don't really know how the down CAA's best matches up with one of the top mfvc teams, Ill State looked a bit out of synch to me last week, that might work for them this week though. Richmond has the talent to be in this game til the bitter end.

Richmond may have a tough time scoring TDs inside the redzone. TDs may have to come from long passes.

Yeah, good opening drive. Two 3rd down conversions were key. Let's see how ISU decides to defend those going forward.

That appeared to be a good throw by Roberson even if it wasn't completed

[Redbirdgrad]

Yes, there's holding on nearly every play right now on the Richmond offensive line. Clear they can't handle the pressure. But if they're not going to call the blatant ones, we're just have to adjust and do the same for our running game.

The change at QB could be the killer here. Gameplan all week for a pocket QB and now you have a competent dual threat coming at you...

[Redbirdgrad]

Anyone else think Warrum got his foot down on the play right before the TD? Could have sworn he was in bounds on the replay.

Not having a first down stick is bugging me out. Is it common in the MVFC to only use the marker on the ground? I've watched quite a few MVFC games and haven't noticed until tonight...

Couple plays where they rushed two guys with a spotter. Not sure that's how I'd play it

[Kemo]

Roberson has thrown better in the 2nd half, but he still a very average passer. He has missed a ton of open receivers on passes that have had to go more than 15 yards in the air.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

We got a game. Great work by Redbird offense to cut it to 19-14. Coprich finally heard from.

[Wilson16]

Redbirds have momentum

[IBleedYellow]

FYI people

ISU and mainly Roberson have played like **** in the first half for 10 or so of their Ws this year. It won't bite them this week, either.

Don't bother they wont believe you. Ive tried

[Kemo]

...and Lauletta has been money on passes +15 yards.

[Wilson16]

Big response to kill momentum

[CommishBigSmooth]

What a response by Richmond. Great screen call.

[BisonFan02]

Go Spiders! xlolx

[Wilson16]

Wow get a kicker

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Yes!

[CommishBigSmooth]

Richmond better just start going for 2.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Brown is pretty good I think

[IBleedYellow]

Welp.

I mean...it's literally all we've seen from them. It's why I am pumped if the Bison are able to play them. It won't be a tail of two halves.

Doesn't matter though...UNI is going to be ROUGH tomorrow.

Richmond will not go away. Come on spiders!

[Sycamore62]

No hold on that TD but 2 richmond linemen ran directly into eachother.

[seattlespider]

Such miserable special teams.

[Sycamore62]

Soccer players generally ruin football.

[Schism55]

That stadium atmosphere is awful.

everything setting up well for a NDSU 5 peat here.

Are you sure there was no hold?

[BisonFan02]

Only an 11 point lead.....and I have no idea how. Richmond is leaving a lot of points on the field...

[IBleedYellow]

Lots of football left... And UNI.

Only because they are on the same team

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Pass rush?

All day to throw....

[Sycamore62]

Are richmond's helmets white or did the equipment manager wash them with a brown sock accidentally left in the washing machine

Lol NDSU fans are nervous as sh.. for this game. For obvious reasons.

End of 3rd, Spiders by 11.
Can Richmond hang on?

It's ISU, they come back.

It's just the way this year has been for them.

Maybe we should start covering that #82.

Richmond has obviously decided to make Roberson beat them with his arm. And he's doing it.

Roberson makes some odd decisions when running. (2nd down)

Maybe the magic is wearing off. I'll be damned.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow! Crazy game changing two plays there! Richmond has this if they don't screw up...

[TheKingpin28]

Wow what a turn off events

[CommishBigSmooth]

What a sequence for Richmond there. Great play on 2nd down to corral Roberson when he made a great cutback, then the ineligible penalty wipes the TD pass off the board followed by a pick.

Redbird pass defense sucks

[CommishBigSmooth]

Boy is it just me or is EVERY time Illinois State they are blitzing they are just paying big time. The Spiders are catching everything it seems.

[TheRevSFA]

Along came the Spiders....

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Wow...Diggs is a good WR! Nice hands

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

another great throw and catch!!

[TheKingpin28]

Those passes refund me of the championship game last year. If ISUr wants to play man, I'd throw it 10/10 and trust my receivers to go up and get that ball.
