Furman senior Aziz Foster-Powell rushed for 125 yards on 25 attempts during a 13-9 loss to 19th-ranked Richmond in a game at Robins Stadium. With less than a minute left, Richmond survived a final Hail Mary pass attempt, tipping it into the air and allowing Furman to retain possession. Furman trailed 10-9 at halftime before Richmond extended their lead to 13-9 with a 30-yard field goal from Kyle Bitsko in the third quarter.
Furman forced a fumble at the goal line on Richmond's next drive, but the Spiders forced a turnover-on-downs to stop them near the end of the game. Richmond completed 355 yards of offense while limiting Furman to just 215 yards, including only 78 rushing yards. Ackerley, starting for the Paladins, completed 15 of 30 passes for 137 yards and rushed for 35 yards. The Paladins will next host Wofford for a 2:00 p.m. kickoff at Paladin Stadium on October 3.
