with Wickersham as well over 400 yards rushing last season and just as we said he gets the call but Virginia sniffs it out with James Jackson the weak side linebacker and as an offensive linan you want to block for someone like that oh R the quarterback draw on first down gets to the outside candria Off to the Races near sideline and Out of Bounds at the 41 yd line lining up in a slot on the left side second down and three candria to throw taking a shot downfield into the endzone and it is caught for a touchdown trell Harris the other transfer from K skate they have been high on up throughout camp and Harris makes a big play it's a professional throw he threw the ball before the receiver got to the top of his route that's trusting your receiver he stayed in the pocket he had pressure but he was able to get the ball down the field and give your receiver an opportunity to they believed and it really paid off here is a third and nine for wiersum on the bubble screen it'll be close but the ball is out it was close to a first down but it appears that Virginia has forced Anthony kandria quick throw out left it's Malachi Fields breaking down the sideline and cutting back inside for another big Gainer for the Virginia [Applause] offense officially from 21 knocks it through to give Virginia a 10 nothing lead grandson of the legendary Bob Grey candria quick pressure on the wheel route he's got greasy down the side line he's gone touchdown Cavaliers and watch what kandria does because he's been running the ball so effectively when he steps up what that does is that pulls the Defenders you saw Matthew trainer the safety the strong safety react to in college football but everybody right now trying to find a place to be and candria going down for the first time tonight pressure applied by Jeremiah Grant third Team all CAA a year ago for the first time tonight Virginia behind the sticks kandria with the screen for Pace he's got blockers in Running Room and what do you know in the open field down the four sideline Pace knocked out of bounds finally by Bryson Parker how about sedarian Harrison out there helping threee for an extra 15 20 yards first call and already 12 more coming for Xavier Brown Carter glm prevented the touchdown lines up his Pace returns in the back field all kinds of time as now he's flushed out athleticism costs him there as he tries to get away but matate fits this will be from just outside 33 left hatch everything coming up Cavalier 33 yds for betrid to get their offense going it has been dismal so far this is the first big play of the day as they pick up a good chunk of yardage with Zach Palmer Smith there's Palmer Smith Twisted down at the 50 and I don't like that play right there Chris you're getting pushed right in the center of that one the low man wins uproot those guys you asked went in October the other day who he's running behind when he needs a yard and he said the center Tom Elia and the left guard Keith Gua and that's exactly what he did to pick up that first down they have not converted a first down in five tries tonight Rickers with time now he'll take off take on the defender and lost the ball but Richmond right there fourth down and two converted on fourth and one moment too on a quarterback sneak Wickers look looking quick throw it's caught and converted Nick T Janeiro the big play receiver and really come up empty the draw Wickerson in for the easy touchdown and Richmond is on the board first rushing touchdown of the year for Wickersham who had four a season too it's on a lengthy Drive 13 plays and 75 yds that ate up nearly 7 minutes and plotting in game planning so it'll be interesting to see what happens when Richmond gets the ball back well here Richmond kicks off and it's zavier brown who fumbled it and is going to bring it back out across the 25 to the 30 to The Far Side and he will get run out of bounds near Midfield excellent field position as jabil Hayes a lot of the fans departed after the shelter and place order the fine shelter order I should say is Pace Off to the Races again inside inside the 20 and Pace shoved out of bounds and it's going to be first down and goal once again second and goal at the three Pace off tackle to the goal line in in for the touchdown Pace with a three-y touchdown run in Virginia is just having their way offensively tonight all the way down the field the first play was a negative play but outside of that they were able to get any and everything that they want it pace is just finding Lanes to run through this is Grady broster house and they call this the Grady Bunch as he pushes forward and did he get it looks like he did this is the nickname that Virginia gives that [Applause] play candria on first down taking another deep shot a diving grab holding on to it as Malachi fields Kobe Pace gets a breather is Xavier Brown gets the call on the stretch play right 13 more yards as that line continues second and seven for [Music] kandrea steps up going to take off he'll get the first down and more and slides at the 15 yd line [Music] candria the draw up the middle D for the goal line and he's in touchdown Virginia 7yd touchdown run for Anthony kandria with nearly 50 yds rushing and 275 yds passing so far tonight right now they go four wise they spread the defense out once again and you have the back go up trying to cover up the defender but landrea just decided he's going to run for the Richmond Spiders who have been looking for answers Wickers shim on first down not much available downfield looking firing ganero on the sideline to a third and eight Rickers fixs the toss not fooled it's Carter [Applause] again last season 14 out of 17 spot is down kick is up and it is good so it's now a 24o lead the ball around getting the ball to his Playmakers and allowing them to be special out of the back field swinging it to Pace taken down for a loss and no man's land at the 36 muskin still looking firing and it's intercepted picked out of the air in the secondary by Matthew trainer in the first turnover of the night Palmer Smith on the second effort Breaking Free he's got a chance inside the 20 with one man to beat and taken down at the five the touchdown Saved By Dre Walker again what you want to see from this ball Club from Richmond continue to fight continue to try to get better foster pow Dropped In The Back Field Z Foster pow remains in the back field after the 43 yd run moments ago Palmer Smith Wickers in trouble dropped near the line of scrimmage it's Jason Hammond from the interior against this Richmond team at home Zack Palmer Smith back in from trickeration and it's not there so just run out of bounds well covered as ju Vin from the right hatch good snap kick on its way and he got it because more teams will not have the opportunity to compete for a national championship Aziz Foster pow picking up the first down Sid stepping tacklers in the back field and going to

Elliot and Company exactly how they would have drawn it up minus a 2our and 15 minute weather
