Football Championship Subdivision school Richmond hung tough with a Virginia team that was sloppy at times, but the Spiders (0-1, 0-0 CAA) were unable to spoil Coach Tony Elliot’s debut Saturday afternoon. Richmond took an early lead, but a humming Virginia (1-0, 0-0 ACC) offense scored touchdowns on four straight first half possessions to retake the advantage. The Cavaliers then survived a subpar third quarter and took care of business in the fourth to put away the season’s first victory.
