End of 1st an Marshall's offense has not gotten on track.

57 yards total offense, 26 passing 31 rushing. Either Doc can't motivate his players or he has no clue how to prepare them for road games.

No worries…Just a slow start on the road. You guys will be fine.

Herd fans at FIU

That's funny, if it weren't for Marshall fans, the stadium would be virtually empty.

Its the empty stadium affect...tough to play in front of no one

The home side has filled in a bit for FIU. Late arriving crowd.

Just get through this one Herd.

Wonder why FIU can not at least attracts students to their games?

How can a school with a total enrollment of 50,000 have a crowd like that? I'm not an attendance smack guy, but is there just no school pride, commuter school, etc? If nothing else it's a free night of entertainment before heading out to the bars.

We were down there for the ECU-FIU game. You'd never know there was a game in the area. Didn't help that the Miami-FSU game was the same night, but it was pretty obvious that folks in Miami have college football way down their priority list - too many other distractions.

I posted earlier that Miami didn't have many people at their home game against UVA. Miami isn't having a bad year either. So south Florida folks just don't care about college football.

Blocked FG, things not getting better for Marshall.

Nothing to sweat about. Even Doc can not lose to FIU.

Maybe not FIU, but cap off a great TD run with a missed extra point. Poor execution by special teams not a way to win when we get in close games.

Brilliant play calling by the Marshall coaching staff. Running game working and we go with 3 straight passes all incomplete.

20-3 at the half

Thank goodness FIU is terrible, or we would be in BIG trouble.

When Tech played FIU I believe the announcers said FIU students go to the U post game parties.

I saw the Miami U crowd today. Where were the U's students?

Just checked the score. Marshall will win and next week's game will be for all of the (East's) marbles. Can't wait!
