Gunnar Smith led Fordham to a dramatic 20-14 upset against the nationally ranked Richmond Spiders on Saturday. The Rams snapped a two-game losing streak with this surprising victory. Smith was instrumental, throwing an opening touchdown pass to Ricky Gonzalez II. Richmond tied the game in the second quarter and took a 14-7 lead early in the third after a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
However, Smith engineered a comeback, first tying the game with a touchdown run and then scoring the go-ahead touchdown from the 5-yard line late in the fourth quarter. The crucial moment came when Boogie Owens intercepted a pass with just 1:11 left on the clock, sealing the win for Fordham. The Rams will host Villanova next Saturday, while Richmond has a bye week before hosting Colgate on October 24.
