We discussed the Richmond Spiders with Richmond Times-Dispatch beat reporter John O'Connor, who provides us with a lot of insights into Maryland's first opponent of the 2015 season.
Thank you to John O'Connor for taking the time to answer some questions for us about Maryland's first opponent of the season, the Richmond Spiders.
TT: Richmond won nine games last year en route to an FCS playoffs appearance. What are the expectations for the Spiders in 2015?
John: Richmond is picked fifth in the CAA Football preseason poll and that seems fair with the loss of 23 seniors (huge hit for FCS) and the fact that the Spiders are starting a new quarterback, redshirt sophomore Kyle Lauletta.
