UR-ASU Blog Quarter #2


8:58 PM--Still live and kicking from a cool and LOUD Kidd Brewer...

The 21 points ties a season high for a quarter by App (they did the same against Lenoir Rhyne and UT-Chattanooga)...

Armanti Edwards finds a seam, runs to the goal line from 36 yards out and SOMERSAULTS into the end zone! The move draws a penalty, but I give him a 9.7 for artistic expression! PAT good. ASU 28, Richmond 7 (14:41 2nd Qtr)


Now an interesting setup... two kickoffs out of bounds have set up the Apps kicking off from its own 5 yard line, giving Richmond field position at the ASU 37. Richmond uses the short field for a touchdown as Ward finds Grayson for a 26-yard touchdown pass. 28-14 ASU (13:42 2nd)

9:15 PM - That man has done it again! Armanti Edwards skates into the end zone from 3 yards out, capping a 7 play 66 yard drive in 2 minutes, 58 seconds. ASU 35, UR 14. Armanti already has 200 yards rushing in the game. Could he threaten the single-game record of 333 yards rushing held by Adrian Peterson of Georgia Southern from 1999? We'll see....

9:28 PM -- ASU holds on downs and takes over at their own 28 yard line with 5:58 to go and leading 35-14. App goes for it on fourth down and doesn't convert, turning it over on downs with 3:22 left in the half and up 3 scores. Richmond scores with 21 seconds left on a 27-yard run by Ward to cut the lead at halftime to 35-21 at intermission. Armanti Edwards (photo above taken courtesy of my esteemed colleague Matt Laws) has officially ran for over 200 yards in the opening half. We'll have statistical specifics momentarily.
10:04 - We're about to kick off the second half. Armanti Edwards has 204 yards rushing in the half and 90 passing yards. and Richmond star running back Tim Hightower has only 33 yards rushing in the half.
