Senior RB Tyler Kirchoff racked up 126 yards and rushed for four touchdowns, while senior CB Justin Rogers had two interceptions and returned one for a score as No. 11 Richmond pulled away and beat Coastal Carolina, 41-19, Saturday at Robins Stadium.
The victory improved Richmond to 2-2 overall and gives the Spiders, who played Saturday’s game without six starters due to injury, momentum heading into a difficult two-game CAA Football road swing at No. 14 New Hampshire and No. 8 Massachusetts on back-to-back weekends.
Bouncing back from last Saturday’s setback versus Delaware in a Top-10 showdown, the Spiders improved to 7-0 following an in-season loss since 2006.
