Richmond Kicker Wins It at the Buzzer, 24-21 over Georgetown
The clock read 0:00 when Kyle Bitsko's 49-yard field goal went through, and Richmond had a 24-21 win it had nearly handed back. The Spiders were up 21-7 at the half and then watched Georgetown score 14 straight to tie it with 5:20 to play.
The first half belonged to Aziz Foster-Powell. He ran for 33 yards in the first quarter and 4 yards early in the second, then caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Ashten Snelsire to make it 21-7 with 2:42 left in the half. Georgetown's only first-half answer was a 71-yard strike from Jack Johnson to Hassan Mahasin, which cut it to 14-7 before Foster-Powell got his third.
Then the Hoyas turned it into a game. Johnson threw a 2-yard touchdown to Isaiah Grimes in the third quarter and another 2-yarder to Burke Carroll in the fourth, three touchdown passes in all. Neither team turned the ball over, which meant the whole thing came down to who had the ball last. Richmond did. Snelsire threw 49 times and completed 29 for 322 yards, and Richmond finished with 467 total yards to Georgetown's 304, even though it ran only 28 times for 145.
Richmond is 3-0 and never trailed in this one (it was tied just once, at 21-21). Georgetown falls to 0-2 and has to explain how it lost despite three touchdown passes from Johnson. For fantasy purposes, Foster-Powell was the guy to have, with 35.2 points, and Johnson and Mahasin gave Georgetown owners something to cheer about in a loss.
