Richmond is coming off a disappointing 17-10 loss against Morgan State in their season-opener this past weekend. The Spiders entered the 2023 season ranked in the preseason FCS coaches poll and were expected to win this past weekend.

With this being a matchup between a FBS and FCS team, there aren’t any betting odds listed at this time.

Kickoff from Spartan Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
