Coastal Carolina week presser

I couldn’t make my way over to the Robins Center for this week’s presser but here are some interesting bullets from the notes they sent out:

  • In its final non-conference game of the 2010 regular season, No. 11 Richmond looks to bounce back Saturday versus Coastal Carolina at Robins Stadium.
  • Richmond is looking to rebound from last Saturday’s loss to Delaware and avoid consecutive in-season defeats for the first time in four years. Since dropping three-consecutive games late in the 2006 campaign, the Spiders are 6-0 following a loss in season.
  • Richmond is the only team in CAA Football to score points on each of its Red Zone trips this season (8-for-8) — with six touchdowns. (Man, doesn’t VT wish it had a Red Zone percentage like that? — Ed.)
  • Senior CB Justin Rogers is the Spiders’ career leader in KO return yards (2,287) and needs just 147 more for the CAA Football career record.
  • The Spiders played their first two games at new Robins Stadium before sold out crowds.

You can watch the video of the entire presser over on the UR Athletics site.
