Reece Udinski threw four touchdown passes and Alex Ramsey ran for two more as VMI won its first home opener since 2015 by routing Division II Mars Hill, 63-21 on Saturday. Udinski hooked up with Javeon Lara on a 50-yard touchdown in a 56-17 loss at Marshall last week and found him with two more against the Mountain Lions, including a 26-yard strike less than three minutes into the game. Lara led the team with seven touchdown catches a year ago and had a 12-yard snare in the third quarter to give him three through the first two games. VMI (1-1) wore a tribute to former player and coach Tim Maypray on their helmet for the home opener. Maypray was a standout wide receiver at the school and later in the Canadian Football League with Montreal, winning the Grey Cup in 2010, and with Ottawa. He served as running back coach for the Keydets before moving on to coach at Davidson College. Maypray, 30, died in January.

Ramsey ran eight yards for a touchdown midway through the first quarter and added a six-yard score in the third. Chima Kpaduwa capped the day with a 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter as the Keydets finished with 220 yards on 35 carries. Udinski was 17 of 29 for 264 yards without an interception James Urzua was 13 of 25 for 156 yards to lead Mars Hill, throwing two touchdown passes and two interceptions. The Mountain Lions managed just 61 yards on 38 carries. - AP College Football

2019 PRESEASON CAA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (MEDIA/COACHES): Maurice Jackson, DL, Richmond,...This marks the second time in the last four years a Spider has earned the honor (David Jones, 2016) and the third Spider since 2009 to earn the preseason accolade (Eric McBride, 2009). Jackson earned First Team All-CAA honors last fall in his first year as a full-time starter on the defensive line. The Third Team All-American, Jackson moved to defensive end in 2018 and made the most of his opportunity, leading the CAA in sacks with 1.0 per game, finishing the regular season with 10 sacks in 10 games.

Jackson finished the year ranked eighth overall in the nation in sacks per game (1.0) and enters 2019 sixth in the nation among the top sack getters from last year.

He finished his year with a stellar showing in the Spiders' Capital Cup victory over William & Mary, posting 2.5 sacks and forcing two fumbles against the Tribe. Even more impressive, Jackson accomplished all of this in his first season as a defensive end. He was originally recruited as a linebacker and moved to defensive tackle his sophomore season before shifting out to the edge last fall. - Richmond Football
