(STATS) -- It was hard to tell which team was from the FCS and which was from the FBS.The Richmond Spiders, fourth-ranked in the STATS FCS Top 25, simply want to be recognized as a terrific college football program.Richmond looked in midseason form Saturday as junior quarterback Kyle Lauletta threw three touchdowns and the defense forced four turnovers in a 37-20 rout of Virginia, which spoiled the Cavaliers coaching debut of Bronco Mendenhall.The win was the CAA Football programs first over an FBS team since it beat Duke 23-21 in 2011. The Spiders have won four times against an ACC opponent in the last 11 seasons.We responded extremely well to adversity and we answered, really, every time we had to answer throughout the course of the game, Richmond coach Danny Rocco said. Our team expected to win.Richmond controlled the ball for 39 minutes, 46 seconds. Lauletta, under little pressure, made good decisions as he completed 24 of 35 passes for 337 yards, throwing two touchdown passes to wide receiver Tyler Wilkins and one to All-American Brian Brown. Gordon Collins broke off a 55-yard touchdown run while gaining 114 yards on 13 carries.Three of Virginias turnovers occurred in Richmond territory. Cornerback Tafon Mainsah had one of Richmonds three fumble recoveries and intercepted a pass.Richmond, with 16 returning starters, is primed for a banner season after winning a share of the CAA title and reaching the FCS semifinals. But Virginia had entered the game with a 28-2-2 series lead and the Spiders hadnt beaten the Cavs since 1946.Adding to the upset was Rocco and four of his assistants have spent time coaching at Virginia and two other assistants are former Cavaliers players.---=SATURDAY, SEPT. 3=STATS FCS TOP 25No. 2 Sam Houston State (1-0) 59, Oklahoma Panhandle State (0-1) 21Last years FCS team leader in total offense cranked it up with quarterback Jeremiah Briscoe passing for 338 yards and three touchdowns.

The fourth-round pick out of Mississippi State has been impressive in the preseason, climbing from No. 3 on the depth chart following injuries to Kellen Moore and Romo.After winning the division in 2014, the Cowboys fell to 4-12 last season and were 1-11 without Romo when he was twice sidelined by a broken left collarbone.The offense could survive without him if Prescott is the real deal, Dez Bryant stays healthy and No. 4 pick Ezekiel Elliott lives up to the hype.While Prescott has a chance to play, Carson Wentz will sit behind Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel. The Eagles traded a slew of picks to select Wentz at No. 2 in the draft, but he was slated to be the No. 3 quarterback long before injuring his ribs in the preseason opener.The Eagles should be rebuilding under new coach Doug Pederson, but every team is a contender in this weak division. Bradford has looked sharp in Pedersons offense and the defense is vastly improved under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.Kirk Cousins had a breakout year to lead the Redskins to a division title in 2015. But no team has repeated in the East since the Eagles won four straight from 2001-04.The Giants wont have Tom Coughlin on the sideline for the first time since 2003. Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo replaced him, so Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. and Co. will have continuity. A revamped defense could help New York end its four-year playoff drought.Heres some things to know about the NFC East:GIGANTIC GIANT: Defensive end Olivier Vernon, a major free-agent addition, was dominant in the preseason. The Giants spent $40 million, for this season, to re-sign Jason Pierre-Paul and sign Vernon, defensive tackle Damon Harrison, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and linebacker Kennan Robinson. They drafted cornerback Eli Apple in the firrst round to upgrade the secondary.dddddddddddd The offense will score points. If defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo gets the most out of his group, New York should rise to the top.KIRKS CREW: Cousins earned himself a one-year contract worth $19.95 million on the franchise tag after throwing for 4,166 yards and 29 touchdowns. Robert Griffin III is gone, so theres no quarterback controversy in DC. But Cousins still has to prove himself after the team didnt give him a long-term contract. The Redskins gave All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman a $75 million, five-year deal to bolster the secondary. Norman better walk his talk after criticizing Beckham, Bradford and others.GANG GREEN: There hasnt been this much excitement surrounding the Eagles defense since Jim Johnson was calling the shots. Schwartz is the most accomplished defensive coordinator in Philadelphia since Johnson passed away. His defense was outstanding in the preseason, wreaking havoc and forcing turnovers. It wont be easy to maintain that success when the games count, but theyre on the right track. Defensive end Fletcher Cox got paid to be an elite player and should thrive in Schwartzs system. Linebacker Jordan Hicks returns after an injury shortened his promising rookie season. Safety Malcolm Jenkins has developed into one of the best at his position.DOOM IN BIG D: Romos latest injury is a big setback for the Cowboys, who were hoping to go from first-to-worst-to-first. But Prescott seems like an upgrade from Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel. He also has a better supporting cast. The real problem for Dallas will be stopping other teams. Starters DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory are suspended for the first four games and Rolando McClain will miss the first 10 games of the regular season.PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH: Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Cowboys.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
