The Spiders (9-2, 7-0) ranked No. 7 in the FCS coaches poll and alone atop the CAA, are hosts to William & Mary in a regular-season finale next Saturday. The win over the Pirates (5-6, 2-5) gave the Spiders their longest regular-season win streak since 1998 when they also won nine straight. Their last league loss came to Hampton in 2023.
Palmer-Smith's second TD run Saturday to finish a 75-yard drive gave Richmond a 24-14 lead late in the third quarter.
Malcolm Mays tied the game with a 1-yard rush with 10 minutes remaining in the game. But a final drive stalled in the final minute on downs at the Richmond 38 after Mays was sacked for a Carsen Stocklinski followed by an incomplete pass on fourth down.
Palmer-Smith finished another 75-yard drive with a 3-yard TD to open the scoring and the Spiders led thereafter.
