Scott resigns from job at UR
The University of Richmond has announced that head football coach Latrell Scott has resigned his position at the University of Richmond. Offensive coordinator Wayne Lineburg has been named the interim head coach.
According to multiple media reports, Scott was charged with driving while intoxicated in Henrico County late Monday,
“Although the timing and circumstances are unfortunate, I am confident that Coach Lineburg, his staff, and the football student-athletes will have a successful 2011 season,” said UR athletics director Jim Miller.
Lineburg, 37, is entering his second year back on the Richmond staff after three seasons on the offensive staff at the University of Virginia. The Radford native was with the Spiders for three years from 2004-06 as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach under former head coach Dave Clawson.
UR loses Corp for season
University of Richmond head football coach Latrell Scott announced Monday that junior starting QB Aaron Corp will undergo season-ending knee surgery this week after sustaining the injury on the first offensive series in Saturday’s game at New Hampshire.
“This is a tough situation for Aaron and our team and we wish Aaron the best as he recovers,” said Scott. “But this season is far from over. I really like the fight our guys showed Saturday in a hostile environment and we have to keep that mentality this weekend at Massachusetts.”
Corp, who transferred from Southern California in the offseason, beat out returning sophomore John Laub for the starting job in Training Camp. Laub was unavailable Saturday as he continues to recover from an injury suffered in Week Four versus Delaware and is out through at least this week.

Second half powers Cavs over Spiders
Virginia posted 488 yards of total offense and wore down a game Richmond squad in the second half en route to a 34-13 season-opening victory on Saturday.
The win came in the first game under new head coach Mike London, a former UVa. defensive coordinator who left Richmond for Charlottesville to replace the departed Al Groh.
A 26-21 loss to I-AA William and Mary to start the 2009 season was the beginning of Groh’s undoing. The impressive win over the I-AA national-title contender UR in 2010 gets the London regime off to a positive start.
