RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Raunny Rosario and R.J. Cobbs each rushed for more than 100 yards and Jeff Krohn passed for 236 yards and two touchdowns Saturday to drive Massachusetts past Richmond 34-13.
The Minutemen (3-2, 1-1 Atlantic 10) racked up 478 total yards and held the Spiders to just 65 in the second half while forcing four Spider fumbles, two of which resulted in touchdowns.
Rosario led the ground game for Massachusetts with 131 yards on 17 carries, while Cobbs gained 112 yards on 17 carries and scored two touchdowns. Adrian Zullo caught five passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
Krohn finished 14-of-28, with one interception.
