  "account": "Fordham rallied to beat Richmond 20-14 in a surprising victory on Saturday. Quarterback Gunnar Smith orchestrated a late-game push that sealed the win. After Richmond's Jamell James tied the game with a 2-yard touchdown run, Fordham responded with a five-play, 50-yard drive. This drive culminated in Richmond's Jamell James scoring another touchdown to make it 14-14. In the fourth quarter, Smith guided a 12-play, 62-yard scoring drive that ended with him sprinting from the 5-yard line, giving Fordham a 20-14 lead. Richmond's Boogie Owens intercepted Ashten Snelsire with just 1:11 remaining, killing the clock and securing the win for Fordham. Smith's game-winning touchdown run marked Fordham's first lead since opening the game with a 7-0 advantage. The Rams kicked off the third quarter with a 10-yard touchdown to Ricky Gonzalez II. Richmond's Ashten Snelsire opened the second quarter with a 6-yard scoring pass to Bryce Allen. Early in the third quarter, a sack of Fordham's Smith forced a fumble that was recovered in the end zone by Jordan Allen for a Richmond touchdown, extending the lead to 14-7. Fordham ended its two-game losing streak with this win, while Richmond, currently ranked 19th, will next face Colgate on October 24.",
