Richmond vs. Virginia Condensed Game | 2024 ACC Football

1st Quarter with Wickersham as well over 400 yards rushing last season and just as we say he gets the call but Virginia sniffs it out with James Jackson the weak side linebacker down at long coming up and if you see Jackson he does a good job he's Uber aggressive coming downhill and he finds R for Richmond conversion rate rather Wickers time and connect but shy of the first down out at the 34 yd line and as an offensive lineman you want a block with someone like that they'll run the quarterback draw on first down gets to the outside candria Off to the Races near sideline and Out of Bounds at the 41 yd line Ys and this is a quarterback design draw kandra does a does a good job of following his blockers and what I like about it sacket wood number 44 he waited for his quarterback to get there was the starting quarterback at the beginning of the year but he was banged up early and then banged up again late as Kobe Pace gets his first call of the Season off tacklin Carter glm transfer from St Francis out of the NEC comes up lining up in a slot on the left side second down and three candria to throw taking a shot downfield into the end zone and it is caught for a touchdown trell Harris the other transfer from K skate they have been high on up throughout camp and Harris makes a big play the professional throw he threw the ball before the receiver got to the top of his route that's trusting your receiver he stayed in the pocket he had pressure but he was able to get the ball down the field and give your receiver an opportunity to he'll get the call and the sweep right cut back to the 30 yd line as Clary the safety came up [Applause] there's Foster Campbell in the back field now flushed out Rickers him going to pull it down he's got the corner and knocked out of bounds late will to draw a penalty they believed and it really paid off here is a third and nine for reram on the bubble screen it'll be close but the ball is out it was close to a first down but it appears that Virginia has forced as the nor ly sure-handed Nick D janiro coughed up the football and you see what cam Robinson did he came in at the end of that play and he was able to punch that out was that Cory Thomas it might have been oh that was that was Cory Thomas that came in at the back of the play and punched it out and for Nick deer you've got to hold that ball high and Anthony kandria quick throw out left it's Malachai Fields breaking down the sideline and cutting back inside for another big Gainer for the Virginia offense by Fields delivering for 32 yds and a good job by the offensive line to sell the Run what that did was freeze to safety so once he got past that defender on the outside there was knocking on the door of the Red [Applause] Zone fake it to pce here's kandria this is such a dangerous part of his game and the big reason why on second and one quick throw it's Fields again will get the first down to the 10 gain of three another opportunity at the 11 face the call looking takes it to the [Applause] six officially from 21 knocks it through to give Virginia a 10 nothing lead in every football game that they play there's Kyle Wickers nothing downfield he'll take off again that lost his helmet looked like for a moment he might lose the ball they are getting better and better at the position and deeper as we'll see some younger guys as well tonight here's kandria with a quick throw to one of those younger guys Eli wood getting an opportunity he is the brother of the tight end sack wood we saw moments ago and Richmond's going to have to make a decision on passing down they're going to have to bring more pressure right now they're not getting pressure with the defensive line Pace cutting back breaking tackles side stepping him has the first down and more to the 38 yd line off of wood be tacklers getting up the field quick throw Eli wood once again four more safety Parker took him down Bryson Parker grandson of the legendary Bob greasy candria quick pressure on the wheel route he's got greasy down the sideline he's gone touchdown Cavaliers and watch what kandria does because he's been running the ball so effectively when he steps up what that does is that pulls the Defenders you saw Matthew trainer the safety the strong safety react to and also by the way 44 yds on three carries on one bounce it'll be Jerry Garcia to bring it out does not cross the 20 find open field tackle in college football but everybody right now trying to find a place to be and candria going down for the first time tonight the pressure applied by Jeremiah Grant third Team all CAA a year ago go once again you've got to do a better job you've got to get out there what now on that play the guard hard got out to try to block but once again you've got to have a wide base you can't go out for the first time tonight Virginia behind the sticks candria with the screen for Pace he's got blockers and Running Room and what do you know in the open field down the four sideline Pace knocked out of bounds finally by Bryson Parker screen perfect play call offensive lineman did a good job of selling and then you see them get up the field and give him a Convoy but when you've got a defense that's trying to make a big play they got the big play on the sack so you know they're going to come up field again how about sedarian Harrison out there helping spre for an extra 15 20 yards first call and already 12 more coming for Xavier Brown Carter glm prevented the 2nd Quarter touchdown this is zamier brown with the call slides through and nice hole on the right side and Carter glm there again sacket wood who motioned to the near side kandria to Wood to the 10 bouncing off tackles there has probably been about five or six broken tackles by the Virginia offense lines up as Pace returns in the back field all kinds of ERS now he's flushed out athleticism cost him there as he tries to get away but mate fits when they talked about Anthony kandria in the off season not trying to make that big play what coaches always tell the thing that Co the coaching staff was worried about with kandra that they thought they had moved past a loss of 20 don't pull it down and run and gets stuck to the ground by Wayne Galloway a defensive teammate and get a hat on hat on candria kandria making a shot left open on the near side is field who makes the catch but obviously needed to get into the end zone for the first down so this will be from just outside 33 left hatch everything coming up cavaliere 33 yds for betrid to get their offense going it has been dismal so far this is the first big play of the day as they pick up a good chunk of yardage with Zack Palmer Smith left side of that offensive line getting push on that three technique quarterback draw for wiersum straight up the middle and he'll have nearly six more as cam Butler took him down there's Palmer Smith Twisted down at the 50 and I don't like that play right there Chris you're getting pushed right in the center of that quick throw creating space in the outside and a first down for Richmond on the catch for Jerry Garcia you want the low man wins uproot those guys you asked went in October the other day who he's running behind when he needs a yard and he said the center Tom Elia and the left guard Keith Gua and that's exactly what he did to pick up that first down to find where the scene was to get the first down out of the pistol Palmer Smith exploding to the outside to the 40 for Antonio clarry Richmond came into the game ranked 12th in the preseason coaches poll in the fcss once again it's Palmer Smith picking up positive yardage as Jam Jackson possessing of the football and get it out of there but don't panic another quarterback draw for Wickersham on the ninth play of the drive inside the 30 six more they have not converted a first down at five tries tonight rers with time now he'll take off take on the defender and lost the ball but Richmond right there fourth and short is going to go for it again absolutely you see once again a quarterback running the football effectively but you've got to hold that ball high and tight you've got to be ready to fourth down and two converted on fourth and one moment ago on a quarterback sneak rickerson looking quick throw it's caught and converted Nick T Jano the big play receiver that because they've been effective running the football Virginia brought the blitz deiro had man coverage on the outside he went with the slant route he had the receiver in trail motion good job by so Richmond for the first time tonight putting something [Applause] together Wickers ship on the RPO dumps it in completes it it's brown out of the back field and down at the 5 yd line a pickup of six and really come up empty the draw Wickerson in for the easy touchdown and Richmond is on the board first rushing touchdown of the year for Wickersham who had four a season too it's on a lengthy Drive 13 plays and 75 yds that eight up nearly 7 minutes and plotting in gain planning so it'll be interesting to see what happens when Richmond gets the ball back well here Richmond kicks off and it's Xavier Brown who fumbled it and is going to bring it back out across the 25 to the 30 to The Far Side and he will get run out of bounds near Midfield excellent field position as jail Hayes a lot of the fans departed after the shelter and place order the find shelter order I should say is Pace Off to the Races again inside the 20 and Pace shoved out of bounds and it's going to be first down and goal once again off and again a ha that prevents the touchdown and once again you see the guards able to climb up to the second level Defenders you saw receivers able to get and give Pace the lane that he needed to get up the field Virginia playing some Tempo on offense Pace running into a blocker finding his way down to the three yd line second and goal at the three pace off tackle to the goal line and in for the touchdown Pace with a three- yd touchdown run in Virginia is just having their way offensively tonight all the way down the field the first play was a negative play but outside of that they were able to get any and everything that they wanted pace is just finding Lanes to run through Wickerson so far tonight five out of nine 45 yds make it six of 10 on the quick comple to Nick D Janeiro and that's the guy they have to get more involved Jam Jackson Xavier Brown off calandria's hip quick throw it's Malachi Fields two Defenders to finally take him down he picks up eight first that they got from Willer but they need to have high production from that rooll Xavier Brown at the 25 shut down no gain on third down and short this this is Grady broster house and they call this the Grady Bunch as he pushes forward and did he get it looks like he did this is the nickname that Virginia gives that [Applause] play kandria on first down taking another deep shot a diamond grab holding onto it as Malachi Fields was there step for step but kandria put it where only Fields could get it and that diving catch goes for 41 yards the area where this team looks to have improve the most third and 15 the draw for kandria to the outside and shouldered [Applause] out Kobe 3rd Quarter Pace gets a breather is Xavier Brown gets the call on the stretch play right 13 more yards as that line continues Brown the guy that maybe has a little bit more of the Home Run speed but has that power as well they're not afraid to run him right up the gut as they do there and he picks up a few more Eli wood split to the bottom of your screen kandria looked in his Direction first flushed out extending the play and connects it's sedarian Harrison they led the Colonial Athletic and third in the country candria taking off and [Applause] sliding Pace takes the hand off out of the pistol fighting off the defender to the outside and another first down as he's run out of bounds Bryson Parker all he could do was watch as he was getting the stiff armed second and seven for [Music] candrea steps up going to take off he'll get the first down and more and slides at the 15 yd line and then slide right when you get an opportunity to put hat on the hat kandra is doing a good job of taking what the defense gives him not trying to get too much but protecting himself Pace with kandria on Third and five in the back field the Andria locking in left on the tight end Neville who makes the catch fighting to get the first down and he gets [Applause] [Music] it candria the draw up the middle DS for the goal line and he's in touchdown Virginia 7yd touchdown run for Anthony kandria with nearly 50 yd rushing and 275 yds passing so far far tonight right now they go four wise they spread the defense out once again you have the back go up trying to cover up the defender but kandria just decided he's going to run Diaz a Duke hly of Miami head coach and also Fran Brown up at Syracuse squib kick it is Jerry Garcia bringing it out across the 30 yd line this uh Monday night second and 10 for Kyle Wickerson to the outside it's D Janeiro talking about Boston College situation because you've got a Florida State team that's coming out and trying to prove something to the Boston college team with new coach and new energy fantastic second effort by Zack Palmer Smith to break tackles and pick up the first down for the Richmond Spiders who have been looking for answers Wickersham on first down not much available downfield looking firing GS an arrow on the sideline continuing to show his Wares cam Butler was right in the face of Wickers well uh uh a couple things on that play that I liked I like Wickersham keeping his feet keeping his eyes down the field had them decked out in their uniforms just as they used to dress here's kandria firing and connecting it's Dakota timoy quick throw once again it's Twitty ridden out of bounds third and fourth greasy lowering the shoulder will be close looks like he's just a little bit short and this will be interesting to see if they go for the Grady Bunch again under Center goes forward this time little bit closer going to depend on the spot it didn't look like they got a lot of movement on that as well so here's Wickerson it's Foster pow this time powering his way to a first down for Richmond as they're knocking on the door Virginia to get pressure with only four pass rushes and drop seven back in the coverage there's nowhere for him to go with the football often when he drops back to pass the football aiz Foster pow again red shirt freshman from Richmond Virginia so a third and eight Wickerson fakes the toss not fooled it's Carter [Applause] again once again Watch The Defenders get up the field they're right there by the time the backat gets the football excuse me Wickersham looks up everybody is on top of him last season 14 out of 17 spot is down kick is up and it is good so it's now a 24-point lead and the 12 team college football playoff adds nothing but Intrigue 4th Quarter Virginia getting the football back Xavier Brown bringing it back out the ball around getting the ball to his Playmakers and allowing them to be special out of the back field swinging it to Pace taken down for a loss dictate what they've been able to do offensively and defensively and not allow anything that Richmond is trying to do affect them Malachi fields on that Crossing route but short of the first down and they'll be able to if they can get pressure with four that's what they've been able to do all evening is get pressure with four Wickersham on the crossing route to Ellis who gets leveled and I thought wiers him should have held on to the football he hit him end over end Clary going to return it from Midfield off one tackle Jim retiring this is his last official game tonight as greasy gets the call on the stretch play to the outside trying to find the angle and Tony musket is going to get his opportunity to play for the first time and no man's land at the 36 muskin still looking firing and it's intercepted picked out of the air in the secondary by Matthew trainer in the first turnover of the night K Wickersham gunting it right it's Ellis again across the 40 shy the first down by a yard or two is and although they're not going to win this football game coach h has to like the fight that his team continues to display wicker shim on the quarterback sneak got that first down and they will move the sticks and you can only do so much in practice against your own teammates because you want to preserve everyone you don't want anyone to get hurt Nick T Janeiro breaking tackles and Palmer Smith on the second effort Breaking Free he's got a chance inside the 20 with one man to beat and taken down at the five the touchdown Saved By Dre Walker yard pickup for the Junior from Del Ran New Jersey but you see how he keeps his Fe moving he continues to grind grind and when he finds a seam he's able to get to you see him running out of gas but a good job by Zack again what you want to see from this ball Club from Richmond continue to fight continue to tried to get better foster pow Dropped In The Back Field Z Foster pow remains in the backfield after the 43 yd run moments ago Palmer Smith Wickers in trouble dropped near the line of scrimmage it's Jason Hammond from the interior pressure with four and drop seven in the coverage the quarterback will not have anywhere to go at the football this has been the rest of P for Success against this Richmond team at home Zack Palmer Smith back in from trickeration and it's not there so just run out of bounds well covered as Juan v as Chico Bennett was trying to chase him down and a good job by not trying to force it in there you still want to be in a position to try and get a field goal attempt so from the right hatch the snap kick on its way and he got it on what they need to be focusing on and like any coach you hear it it's about us as Brown gets the corner and there is a flag down I think we're going to have a hold bringing this one you're going to the playoffs there Wickersham on second down and nine to the near side connecting it's t janiro with the catch ripping it away the four highest ranked Conference champions will be seeded one through four and get buys hosting games I think that's great too the idea that you get a college football playoff game potentially on your campus that's awesome well for those eight teams everybody's low at Christmas right now so there is a chance because more teams will now have the opportunity to compete for a national championship Aziz Foster Powell picking up the first down side stepping tacklers in the back field going to the playoffs and like you said I think what's going to be lovely about it is those home playoff games those teams that get to host a playoff game well here in Charlottesville a good 2024 debut for Tony Elliott and Company exactly how they would have drawn it up minus a 2hour and 15minute weather
