Our defense has several studs siting out right now so we will be ok. Offensively, the problem is in the booth with legg, not the personnel on the field.

Thats our problem - "we always have some super studs sitting out and we'll be awesome next year". It's like a damn broken record. We've been saying the same thing since Doc got here. Half the time, these studs don't even see the field. We sure as hell need help on offense as well. And yeah, Legg may be the most inept OC in the country.

I am not one of the "next year" sunshine pumpers however. And Legg needs to be fired, absolutely. Our D will get back to respectable levels next season. Our LB core will be maybe the best we have ever had

It's crazy hard to rank the programs in this conference right now, even from a 'tier' standpoint. My current take is listed below. Keep in mind this is simply comparing each program against the rest of CUSA. I think Marshall is well below 'average', but at least doing better by record than the "Atrocious" tear teams.

Have a good amount of positivity going for them:
Middle Tennessee - Seemed like they were going to be the cream of the crop for CUSA East until the 'best rivalry in CUSA' yesterday showed they had about 500 fans who gave a ****. Tough to tell a lot from rivalry games, and I didn't watch it, but losing to WKU is tough after taking down LaTech.
WKU - Still just as much in the hunt as anyone else, but (just like anyone else in this 'upper tier') they still haven't done enough to make me feel like they can convincingly win CUSA East. They're literally 4 points away from being a clear cut Best Team in CUSA, IMO.
Southern Miss - Had Southern Miss beaten UTSA, they'd be the clear team for CUSA West, but the UTSA loss is just bizarre. UTSA has had some good moments this season and seem to be on the upswing with that new HC, but it's a big speed bump on Southern Miss' record right now.
LaTech - Probably the strongest season so far from a CUSA program, I guess? 4 points away from being a clear favorite for CUSA, the loss to Middle Tennessee is hurting them. Their other losses are understandable and nothing to worry LaTech fans much, IMO. The 1 point loss to Arkansas to open up the season had to have been deflating to a degree, though.
FIU - I really don't want to put FIU here because of their first 4 games, but being undefeated in CUSA (all after the HC change) is pretty damn positive, for sure. Next week's game vs LaTech will show if this upswing is legit or just a bounce up to average.
ODU - Another program I'm not real confident of being in this upper tier, but, again, being undefeated in CUSA play is very solid so far. The UTSA win is looking better and better, and next week @ WKU will be the telling tale for if ODU is for real or not.

Average:
Marshall - Absolutely a bad W against FAU. No complaints about getting the win, because the 4th quarter performance was decent, but the offensive play calling, penalties, offensive line, and pass defense are all really, really bad.
UTSA - I cam so close to putting UTSA in that upper tier, but the loss to ODU really stands out for them. Picking up wins against UTEP and North Texas will be big going into the game @ Middle Tennessee. They need to win the next 3 to be serious about division title contention.
North Texas - Pretty solid bounce-back season for the Mean Green here considering how bad they were last year. I don't think they'll contend for CUSA West because they have a brutal remaining schedule (@ Army, @ UTSA, vs LaTech, @ WKU, vs Southern Miss, and @ UTEP), but if they can get 2 wins between Army, UTSA, LaTech, WKU, and Southern MIss, they could be making a big buzz in CUSA in 2017.

Atrocious:
Rice - Haven't watched a single game, but 0-6 kinda says it all.
UTEP - Some, including myself, thought this was the year UTEP could've contended for CUSA West. So much for that.
FAU - Was not confident about Marshall's ability to beat anyone else on the schedule and yesterday's game was filled with bad play from both programs. You could've swapped Marshall for FAU in my 'tiers' here if FAU had won yesterday. They're both pretty equally bad.
Charlotte - Hard to give Charlotte too much hell in their 2nd FBS season ever. They did get their first ever CUSA win this season, so that's a plus for the program. Baby steps, 49ers!

Most in-season comparative posts are not worthy of spit on a chalkboard -- at least in my insignificant opinion.

Yours, RedParallax, is exceptional. Very nice job!

This might be one of the worst rankings I have seen lately. Charlotte led FIU by 13 with 4.5 minutes to play. Only 3 personal foul calls and one pass interference call, (and one non-call of a personal foul on FIU) all of which occurred in the last ~5 minutes of the game kept Charlotte from winning that game. All stats except final score favored Charlotte. No way FIU can be in the top grouping and Charlotte in the bottom. Makes no sense.

These so-called studs rarely turn out to be effective. Doc has turned into an ineffective recruiter, his classes always rank near the top of the conference. However, many never get to Huntington and most that do underperform. Too, sitting out a year without practicing is very damaging to a player's ability to compete. He needs to get off his can and recruit high quality players who have qualified. Coaching? Goodness knows we do no want to go there.

The final score is what matters. We led Vandy in every single statistical category possible and still lost to them. Nothing else matters unless the final score shows up in your favor.

If you have running backs with 2 legs you can probably beat us.

FIU had 240 yards of total offense with 7:30 to play in the game. They ended with 39 yards rushing.
Only atrocious clock management, and a couple of terribly stupid penalties saved FIU.
We aren't that bad and they aren't that good.

Dude, they're 3-0 in conference and leading the east... Who'd a thunk it?

Isn't it funny? Most leagues fans argue about who the best team is, we argue about who is the worst lol.

Would love for Charlotte to be the ones that make Marshall fans hit rock bottom. I know the copious amounts of meth and prescription pills already have them there but I want to push them over the edge.

Would you be amazed if they finished 3-5 or 4-4?

Not particularly, but it is what is is at present....

I agree with the Charlotte poster who says FIU isn't that good and Charlotte isn't that bad... Although, give FIU some credit for still making the comeback on the road. I'm guessing FIU finishes 5-3 in conference, but wouldn't be surprised with 4-4. The offense is just too inconsistent.

Well I certainly hope that Marshall is indeed the worst team in C-USA for at least this weekend, and not Charlotte.

I find it hilarious there were specific posters bashing UTSA, FIU, ODU, and UNT about 2-3 weeks ago but they are now a combined 9-2 in conference play.
