Richmond Football fell to 0-2 on the season after losing its home opener to Wofford on Sept. 7.
The team's offensive stats were very similar with Richmond actually having a slight edge in offensive yards (316-304). Additionally, Richmond was also more efficient on third down. The difference was absolutely the defense of the Terriers who forced four turnovers which accumulated for 16 points as opposed to none by the Spiders. 

Both teams struggled offensively for the majority of the first half, improving steadily by the third quarter where Wofford was able to take control. Despite Richmond pushing back towards the end of the fourth quarter, the Wofford defense held strong, fittingly ending the game with their fourth interception.

Next week the Terriers will take on William and Mary in their home opener while Richmond will host Charleston Southern. 

Below is a replay of the game.
