You double the outside receivers with a corner and a safety and you bracketed the slot with a nickel back and a linebacker. When you play 6 on 3 you should be able to cover. Of course, when you do that, you only have 5 in the box and no deep safety help in the middle of the field. When you do that, 250 LB running backs get 272 yards and 3 50+ yard TD runs.

Our corners are much better than yours. They actually play straight man coverage and our safeties actually provide run support.

I am ignoring your posts because our DBs play man-to-man, not 6-on-3. Our 2 DBs take the two outside WRs. Now, nickel backs and dime backs may be a different story. But all the same, the reason we go man-on-man on the outside because we have to be putting as many men as possible in run support as we can't stop it. The problem with Devin Johnson's runs was that Marshall had used schemes they never used before - pulling a guard instead of a tackle and FAU had a difficulty adjusting. The SS, Daniel parms (#17), who, on every one of those three long runs was also in the box, was in the wrong gap.

Lmao your a joke your QB had under 100 yards passing in the 1st half and most of that was from garbage time at the end of the half.
Yea out DB's are are nothing....
I want you Marshall fans to enjoy this win it will one of very few against us over the next decade or so.
As long as we have a coach that's keeps kids in state the 40 players from FLA on your roster will dry up.
I'm sure you can still find kids from your high schools up that way who are still Running the veer.

We run the Wing-T now thank you very much.. Also when the big single wing cruise was sweeping college and NFL football we never quit running it in our high schools.. Can you say visionary?

Lets see. Stay in Florida just to play in front of 7k fans at FAU OR go to a Top 25 program with excellent facilites and a real game day atmosphere.... yeah, I don't think our roster will dry up with Florida talent

BUT, I can't blame you for hoping!

No, you don't play straight man. You split your safeties and play over under on the X and Z. That is why you have no safety help in the middle of the field in run support.

Roberts put his hand on your TE Nate Terry and that is very much legal as long as he doesn't impede the WRs process to catch the ball. Roberts just happened to out jump your player and tip the ball away. Maybe just maybe you should be mad at your player for not going all out to catch the ball.





The play in question starts a 17:41 mark of this video. Roberts did not turn, drag down or push Terry down. That is a legal and very nice pass break up. For that to have been a penalty Roberts would have had to impede Terry's path to the ball, he didn't. And anything that happens after Roberts gets to the ball 1st doesn't matter, at that point Roberts could have tackled Terry.

I know its not right to laugh at the mentally challenge but you must be a comedian. Causue your posts are funny...

Our joke of a QB is one of the best in the country, and no one in Huntington or Herd Country would trade him for anyone in the country. You and FIU would kill to have someone as competitive as Cato is.

Marshall's talent falling off, not as long as South Florida's best recruiter is roaming the sidelines in Huntington in Doc Holliday. As of right now Marshall has 16 verbal's and 7 of those are from Florida. Five of them are higher ranked than FAUs list. We also have 6 Georgia kids as verbal's and 3 of them are higher ranked kids than what FAU has.

Hope you have fun in South Florida with you 8K in attendance and no game atmosphere what so ever. You have a 30K seat stadium and can't even fill it up half way. The announcers at last years Marshall FAU game said the attendance was 14,200 and that was the highest attended game ever. And truth is there was no way there was that many butts in the seats. Had to be paid attendance.

I'm going to adress a few things here 1st I'll take Quez Johnson any day over Cato QB's seem to be a dime a dozen in this conference chase no one plays defense.
As Far as recruiting as of now we have the best class in the conference according to 247 with you guys having a dream season and is being 3-5... Three or four of our commits had Marhall offers.
As far as the Attdence to say we have no atmosphere your just being a naive. Our students attendance had been great this year the games have been a lot of fun.
The Marshall game last year had over 17k...
For a school that's only had undergrad since 1988 and football since 2001 compared to a school that has over 150 years of history and has been playing football since 1895 congratulations you have more fans.
Marshall in the end has been the same program support wise for 50 years now as ours continues to grow.
Our school will pump out alum who now have experienced a real college experience and that will cause quick growth I.E. UCF.
I feel like you have had this same augment with UCF,USF and ECU fans before and all these schools have gone on to pass you.

As far as Johnson goes, you can keep him. He is a fullback with a good arm. In no way would he ever be an NFL QB. If he is lucky enough to make the show he will be a fullback or DB. Not a QB.

Congratz on having the best class at this point. Guess what, at this time last year Rice had the #1 class and Marshall was sitting at #8. When Feb rolled around and signing day was over Marshall had the #1 class by 21 points. And Rice was #7 class. Come talk to me after signing day.

And you and LA Tech have a lead on Marshall because you both have 19 commitments. Marshall has 16. Also don't expect everyone on your commitment list to be there on signing day, don't expect everyone on your list a week from signing day to sign.

Marshall flipped two Cincy commits last year on signing day and dropped their class 10 points and 4 spots. It happens almost every year to every program.

No one in Miami or Boca Raton could give a crap about college athletics, take no further look than the University of Miami. They had a really nice crowd against Cincy a few weeks ago. They claimed 42K, if there was 20K there they was lucky. This is a school that in the 80s and up to the mid 90s would draw 80K. Times have changed though and so has the landscape of Southern Florida. You have the population of students there and 1/2 the population of South Florida now is 62 or older, not exactly a football going crowd.

I'm confused, when was the last time Marshall sold out a game? You'd think it would've happened throughout this undefeated season, especially with all of this attendance smack from MU faithful.
But please, keep having a century old program with rich history and little to nothing else to do for entertainment in the area, show how a 14 year old program with no history, losing records, little momentum going into conference okay because of their SOS, and in the middle of one of the entertainment capitals of the world, work on their attendance. That's as stupid as saying you'll take one player over another in COLLEGE FOOTBALL because he'll make a better NFL athlete. Thank God Florida didn't listen to that great advice when it came to Tebow, Alabama with McCarran, Georgia with Murray, Florida State with Weinke... Want me to keep going?

Check out all three long TD runs from the video highlights on the this thread - our SS (Parms, #17) is in the box. He is not out wide. he is just in the wrong hole to stop the running back. Our free safety is either covering your third WR or on the sidelines watching a nickle back or a dime back play.

Ever heard of Gino Torretta? QBs in college and NFL are different propositions. I do not know what Cato is going to do in NFL. I am sure he will get drafted. But it is far from certain he'll do well or even play.

And, as it has been alluded to numerous times, FAU (or FIU, or Miami) are not the only games in town. And that is just sports. Add to it the weather, the attractions, and just about any darn thing that you guys have but better (I mean compare October here and there)

P.S. It's not Southern Florida, it's South Florida, but totally forgivable since you're not a local.

But please, keep having a century old program with rich history and little to nothing else to do for entertainment in the area, show how a 14 year old program with no history, losing records, little momentum going into conference okay because of their SOS, and in the middle of one of the entertainment capitals of the world, work on their attendance. That's as stupid as saying you'll take one player over another in COLLEGE FOOTBALL because he'll make a better NFL athlete. Thank God Florida didn't listen to that great advice when it came to Tebow, Alabama with McCarran, Georgia with Murray, Florida State with Weinke... Want me to keep going?

That is about as stupid as you saying he is stupid.

Please, enlighten me...

But back to my point, when did Marshall sell out last? I think it's when WVU came to Huntington last, is it not? MU can't even sell out their stadium unless WVU fans come in to help out. Fact is, nobody in cusa has room to talk about attendance.
Y'all won the game. Move on and stop grasping at straws as to why FAU is so much more inferior to the likes of the ever mighty Thundering Herd. Because guess what? We're ranked exactly the same in the eyes of who matter, the CFP poll.

P.S. It's not Southern Florida, it's South Florida, but totally forgivable since you're not a local.

Sure I know who Torretta is. He was UMs starting QB from 91 to 92, he won the Heisman in 92 but there was more out there that were worthy. The Heisman just like this new college playoff is nothing more than a beauty contest anyway. He was 6'2 and somewhere between 215-230. He was a decent college QB for his size. He spent 4 years in the NFL and never enter a regular season game. His size and speed or lack there of didn't match NFL abilities. Not sure why he was brought up but oooo well.

You may not be the only game in town but the landscape like I said of Florida has changed. In the 80s to mid 90s you only had about 1/4 the population over 62 and a lot of 30-40 year old professionals. Those 30-40 year old professionals are now 60-70 yr old seniors, and could probably care less about UM, I would say 85-90% of them never attended the university to begin with. Also with the technology and the added convenience of every game on TV, why not just save 50 bucks go buy a 6 or 12 pack and watch the game on TV.

Add in the fact that Donna Shalala has all but destroyed Miami's recruiting by raising the min ACT score to 26. Until 2004 the min ACT to get into Miami was the same to get into Marshall, an ACT of 21. This takes out about 70% of who the Hurricane's can recruit in South Florida. Marshall had 3 kids that were Miami recruits playing for them for this very reason. They were all 3 cleared by the clearing house, had an ACT of 21 or more but couldn't get into Miami because they didn't have a 26 or higher.

Lets take a look at the results of raising the ACT score at Miami which took effect in 2005:

Miami Record
2005 9-3
2006 7-6
2007 5-7
2008 7-6
2009 9-4
2010 7-6
2011 6-6
2012 7-6
2013 9-4

In that time span Miami has been to 6 bowls and are 1-5 in bowl games. They have been blown out in all but 2 of them. Also those who used to go to Hurricane games were spoiled because they would be 9-2, 10-1 or even 11-0 every year. That's not happened in a long long time. The last time 2003.

If Miami can't draw flies in South Florida neither will the F_Us.

We can't draw fans and Marshall can't draw votes in the CFP poll. Moreover, Marshall has won only one more bowl game compared to FAU since FAU has been bowl eligible. Maybe we're more similar than you think?

As Far as recruiting as of now we have the best class in the conference according to 247 with you guys having a dream season and is being 3-5... Three or four of our commits had Marhall offers.

As far as Johnson goes, you can keep him. He is a fullback with a good arm. In no way would he ever be an NFL QB. If he is lucky enough to make the show he will be a fullback or DB. Not a QB.

Congratz on having the best class at this point. Guess what, at this time last year Rice had the #1 class and Marshall was sitting at #8. When Feb rolled around and signing day was over Marshall had the #1 class by 21 points. And Rice was #7 class. Come talk to me after signing day.

And you and LA Tech have a lead on Marshall because you both have 19 commitments. Marshall has 16. Also don't expect everyone on your commitment list to be there on signing day, don't expect everyone on your list a week from signing day to sign.

Marshall flipped two Cincy commits last year on signing day and dropped their class 10 points and 4 spots. It happens almost every year to every program.

No one in Miami or Boca Raton could give a crap about college athletics, take no further look than the University of Miami. They had a really nice crowd against Cincy a few weeks ago. They claimed 42K, if there was 20K there they was lucky. This is a school that in the 80s and up to the mid 90s would draw 80K. Times have changed though and so has the landscape of Southern Florida. You have the population of students there and 1/2 the population of South Florida now is 62 or older, not exactly a football going crowd.
You no nothing about South Florida 1st The Avg age of Boca is 32 so that's one piece of garbage that came out of your mouth.
2nd Don't compare FAu and FIU to UM. UM is a private school with 6k undergrad and none of the fan base ever went to the university that's why they will never have a good fan base.
UCF has tons of South Florida Students yet they have built a great fan base in a short time.
Don't make the comparison between the public football football schools and the rest of South Florida sports.

It's okay to call South Floridians old, but then you get upset at one poster for calling West Virginians hicks? Hahaha yeah, okay. Like many other things said by both sides in this thread, complete crap.

On the first run, you have 5 in the box. On the second you have 6. On the third, it's a really good illustration because you see the corner and safety, in twos, coming from the left and right to try, but fail, to run him down.

Your safeties are playing 10-12 yards off the line and wide of the hashes, just like I said.
