Bronco Mendenhall’s first game as coach of the Virginia Cavaliers came against the Richmond Spiders. An FCS team. A good FCS team, but, still an FCS team. FBS teams shouldn’t lose to FCS teams. It happens occasionally. Usually, it’s a close game with the FCS team pulling out a squeaker. In that 2016 game, Richmond dominated from beginning to end. It was 13-0 early and 30-7 before the Hoos made it somewhat respectable in a 37-20 loss.
This is the first matchup of these two teams since that game. Would Coach Mendenhall like some revenge?
