Well, I tried to warn you.
At face value, Richmond wasn’t all that threatening coming into Saturday’s game. Unranked with an early-loss on their record and no star power on their roster, the Spiders appeared to be just another tune-up before Notre Dame took on national power Maryland in Week 3.
The Irish, coming off a blowout of Detroit-Mercy in Week 1, didn’t seem worried about the Spiders at all, and it showed early in the first quarter. Richmond scored three goals in the first eight minutes of the game and finished the quarter with a 4-1 lead.
