Richmond was the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision champion for the 2008 season. Richmond competes in the Colonial Athletic Association of the NCAA’s Division I Football Championship Subdivision. Former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga head coach Russ Huesman was named head coach of the Spiders, on December 14, 2016, replacing Danny Rocco who had departed to become head coach at the University of Delaware a day earlier.[2]In 2008, No. 7 Richmond beat Eastern Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Northern Iowa to advance to the NCAA Division I Football Championship against Montana. In the FCS National Championship Game on December 19, 2008, they defeated Montana 24\u20137 to win the first team NCAA national title for the University of Richmond in any sport.Richmond’s traditional rival in many sports is the College of William & Mary. Richmond and William & Mary have met 133 times since 1898, making the rivalry (sometimes referred to as “the South’s oldest rivalry”) the fourth most-played in Division I college football. Only Lafayette\u2013Lehigh, Princeton\u2013Yale, and Harvard\u2013Yale have played more games. The winner of the annual W&M\u2013Richmond match-up claims the Capital Cup (formerly the I-64 Trophy), which reflects the historical significance of the cities of Williamsburg and Richmond as the last two capitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.[3]Conference affiliations[edit]All-Americans[edit]Richmond Spiders in the NFL Draft[edit]Undrafted players and non-NFL draftees[edit]Rick Sowieta, LB, Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa Rough RidersCarmen Cavalli, Oakland Raiders draft pick (1960)Reggie Evans, RBBruce Gossett, KMatt Joyce, G\/TParis Lenon, LBMatt Snider, FBBrendan Toibin, KStacy Tutt, FBJosh Vaughan, RBDanny Desriveaux, Montreal AlouettesEric Ward, QB, Edmonton Eskimos (2011)Winston October, DB\/KR, Montreal Alouettes, WR\/KR, Washington Redskins and Edmonton EskimosBen Edwards, WR\/KR, New York GiantsSeth Williams, CFL playerMartin Parker, DTKerry Wynn, DEKendall Gaskins, RBMike Burkhead, QBJacob Ruby, OL, Edmonton EskimosKyle Lauletta, QB, New York GiantsWinston Craig, DT, Philadelphia EaglesDavid Jones, DBPlayoffs[edit]The Spiders have appeared in the Division I-AA\/FCS Playoffs 12 times.
