The laST Time . . .Pressuring The Quarterback . . .Richmond finished second in the CAA last year with 35.0 sacks ... The Spiders return 23.0 sacks from last year’s team, including senior defensive lineman Andrew Clyde’s team-leading 9.0 sacks ... Defensive lineman Colby Ritten and linebacker Dale Matthews Jr. each added 4.0 sacks apiece while defensive lineman Maurice Jackson chipped in 2.5 sacks ... Justin Rubin, Samari Springs and Gershom Ejoni combined for 3.5 sacks last year.

Richmond CAA Success . . .Since joining the league in 2007, no CAA football program has captured more conference titles than Richmond ... The Spiders have taken home four trophies (’07, ’09, ’12 and ’15), one more than any other school during that span (James Madison) ... Richmond has posted an overall record of 93-48 (.660) since joining the CAA and has gone 54-34 (.614) in league play since 2007.

New Digs For The Spiders . . .The Richmond football program got major upgrades this offseason with the construction work on the Blandford-Ev-erett Student-Athlete Performance Center on the lower lev-el of the Robins Center ... The Spiders received a completely new and improved locker room, strength and conditioning weight room and athletic training facility.

Additionally, Richmond is installing a Nutrition Station and updating the equipment room to better serve the Spider student-athletes ... All construction for student-athletes was completed at the end of July

Television Exposure . . .The Richmond Spiders and their athletic department will produce and broadcast all six home games this season ... For the fourth-straight year, Richmond will place all games on linear television on either NBC Sports Washington or NBC Sports Washington Plus ... In addition, all home games will be streamed on SpiderTV at www.RichmondSpiders.com with the exception of the James Madison home game as that game is the CBSi Game of the Week and will be streamed through the CBSi App.

Replacing Lauletta . . .Richmond will face a daunting task in replacing CAA Offen-sive Player of the Year Kyle Lauletta ... Lauletta was drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the New York Gi-ants ... With him under center, the Spiders finished the year fourth in the nation in passing offense at 341 yards per game and 11th in team passing efficiency at 152.86.

Redshirt junior quarterback Kevin Johnson takes over the reigns from Lauletta but it won’t be his first starting experi-ence ... Johnson started three games in the FCS playoffs in 2016, posting a 2-1 record while passing for 761 yards and three touchdowns.

10-Year Anniversary . . .The 2018 season marks the 10-year anniversary of Rich-mond’s National Championship team ... The Spiders fin-

Russ Huesman enters his second season as head coach of the University of Richmond football program and his 10th season overall as a collegiate head coach. This is Huesman’s second stint with the Spiders after spending five seasons (2004-08) as an assistant coach and was part of the 2008 National Championship team.

In his 30-plus years of coaching, Huesman has coached 42 All-Americans and 21 NFL Draft Picks, while being a part of nine conference championships and the 2008 National Championship with the Spiders. He has spent 20 years coaching in the Colonial Athletic Association, bringing a wealth of experience to the Spiders. Huesman returned to Richmond last season and guided the Spiders to a 6-5 record. The Spiders had 11 different players earn All-CAA honors, led by the Offensive Player of the Year Kyle Lauletta. He became the first Richmond player to win Offensive Player of the Year since Greg Lilly in 1992. Lauletta led the CAA with 3,737 yards, 28 passing TDs and 3,827 yards of total offense and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award. Joining Lauletta on the All-CAA First Team were Alex Light (OL), Garrett Hudson (TE), Dejon Brissett (WR), Griffin Trau (PK) and Andrew Clyde (DL). The All-CAA Second Team included Tyler Wilkins (WR) and Cortrelle Simpson (WR), while Brandon Waller (DL), Justin Rubin (LB) and John Yarbrough (OL) were all named to the All-CAA Third Team. Prior to returning to Richmond, Huesman spent eight tremendously successful seasons at Chattanooga. He was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year three times (2009, 2013, 2014) and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year three times. In his eight seasons at Chattanooga, Huesman helped guide the Mocs to a 59-37 record, including a 36-16 mark in his last four seasons (2013-16), which featured three Southern Conference regular season championships. Chattanooga was one of only 10 programs in the country to reach the FCS Playoffs each year from 2014-16. The Mocs were also just one of four pro-grams in the country to post a playoff win during that time. In his eight seasons, the Mocs had at least seven players named to the All-SoCon team every year, including a school-record 17 honorees in 2014. Prior to Huesman’s arrival, the Mocs had not boasted seven members of any All-SoCon team since 1979. Chattanooga had 17 All-America honorees and three NFL draft picks with DB Buster Skrine (Cleveland – 2011), QB B.J. Coleman (Green Bay – 2012) and LB Davis Tull (New Orleans – 2015) over the eight-year period. Huesman’s first stop at Richmond came from 2004-08 as defensive coordinator molding the Spiders’ defensive unit into one of the best in the country. In his final year at Richmond, the national championship season, the Spiders led the country in interceptions and finished in the top-10 in

four other defensive categories. Under Huesman’s guidance, the Spiders had 23 All-Conference selections, including former NFL standouts Lawrence Sidbury, Jr. and Justin Rogers. During his five-year period as an assistant coach, the Spiders posted a 42-23 (.646) record and played in the FCS Playoffs three times with a quarterfinal appearance in 2005, a semifinal appearance in 2007 and the National Championship in 2008. Prior to his time with the Spiders, Huesman spent six years at the University of Memphis (1998-03), where he held several positions, serving as the recruiting coordinator and offensive line coach. He also coached the outside linebackers, tight ends and running backs. As recruiting coordinator, Huesman brought in a Top 50 recruiting class, ranked No. 1 in Conference USA, in 2002. It was the first recruiting class ranked in the Top 50 at Memphis. Huesman also coached for 14 years at William & Mary (1984-97), both with the defense and special teams. During his time in Williamsburg, Huesman coached Steve Christie, a 15-year NFL place kicker with Tampa Bay, Buffalo, San Diego and the New York Giants. His coaching family tree also includes Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Alan Williams, the former defensive backs coach of the Detroit Lions. All three played for Huesman at William & Mary. Huesman’s success on the gridiron is not limited to just coaching as he was a standout player at perennial power Moeller High School in his native town of Cincinnati, Ohio. He helped Moeller’s team compile a record of 43-0-1 and win a pair of Ohio state championships. An all-city selection in football as a senior, Huesman signed a football scholarship with Chattanooga, where he started all four years as a defensive back (1978-81) and was a two-sport athlete. During his playing career with the Mocs, he helped UTC to a 31-11-2 mark and two Southern Conference championships. Huesman also patrolled centerfield on the baseball diamond for the Mocs during his freshman and junior seasons. Huesman was on the Mocs’ sidelines for the 1982 season as a student coach, earning his degree in business education in 1983. He followed that up with a move to the University of South Carolina as a graduate assistant under the late Joe Morrison. Huesman and his wife Amy have two daughters, Natalie (21) and Emily (18) and two sons, Jacob (25) and Levi (15).
