Richmond hosts Furman after narrow win over Georgetown

Richmond welcomes Furman to Robins Stadium on Saturday, September 26, at 2 p.m. Eastern as part of the university’s Family Weekend. The Spiders return to the same field where they beat Georgetown 24–21 on September 19.

The win was Richmond’s response to a 73–0 loss at NC State. Before that setback, the Spiders had beaten Bucknell 35–14 and Howard 28–21, leaving them 3–1 through four completed games.

For Richmond, the next question is whether a close conference victory can become a more consistent performance against a nonconference visitor. The defense’s ability to follow the Georgetown result and the offense’s ability to sustain drives both matter after such different outcomes in consecutive weeks.

Saturday is Richmond’s final September game. The Spiders return to Patriot League play at Lafayette on October 3, giving this home date a chance to build momentum before the next road assignment.
