So many missed chances. So many turnovers. Such an absolutely irrational call to go for it on that 4th down in shadow of the endzone.

For all the talk about Doc and his staff being too conservative, I believe we've identified the anti-Doc and his name is Lane... and I'm glad we have Doc.

Um, NO! Forced fumble and pressure on the QB and stifling run defense made them one-dimensional. Granted, the beyond ignorant decision to go for it on 4th and 1 deep in your own territory was unfathomable (actually, I feel that was nothing more than Kiffin’s arrogance), we beat them. And I’m fairly certain any FAU fan not named owlcountry40 will tell you the same.

Um. Yes.

You're entitled to your opinion, but mine is that game should have been a nail-biter.

It wasn't one because they kept shooting themselves in the foot, not only through turnovers, but importantly, through dropped passes.

Lane keeps on playing that QB he will be stuck at FAU at least 2 more seasons....Still hard to believe that's the best QB you have at FAU? Anyways I guess the 2 FAU fans trash talking this off season are crickets at this point...

Where did those fans go?

Who talked trash besides owlcountry? I heard way more criticism from other schools towards us over the years

Oh really? And why do you think they had those turnovers? The turnover fairy? Kiffin made ONE stupid call. Our defense put them in those positions.

There was one other guy who wasn’t near as bad as owlcountry. I wonder if oc will show his face around here before Christmas? Lol

Thats how Kiffin won last year, Go for 4 and 8 from his own 19 against Tech. Either stupid or genius

No wonder you are banned to the smack board on Herd Fans.

Seriously.

(hehe.... yep, Zoned... it's an aside to the real content here, but that appears to have been all it took, indeed... I just wasn't offering the "right" opinions, I suppose... or maybe it was all those personal attacks I made.... oh, but wait... I didn't make any... I never make any... that was the territory of the Whiny 5% over there who have no alternative but to do that because so often they just can't put together a cogent adult argument... flaming is their default.... Dale has never defended his actions because Dale cannot defend his actions... the evidence is sitting there on his board, timestamped for all to see if they care to see.)

Um. Really. And I never said that we didn't have something to do with some of the turnovers... to the contrary, of course we did... and would you be willing to agree "some" is more accurate than suggesting our D created them all? If not, why not? Are you trying to win an argument, or are we having a real conversation about what happened? I'm honestly not sure since you didn't bother to respond to the point made about the missed catches. And I didn't even mention the two missed chippy FGs.

Our defense was good overall, but we were on our heels at times, just as we've been on occasion through the season.

Objectively, taking my Marshall cap off, it easily could have been a three point game decided in the last 5 minutes, if not for FAU's self-inflicted damage... that's all I'm saying.

No, I understand what you’re saying. We had drops and missed throws too. FGs are an unknown quite often. We had one blocked, remember?

All I’m saying is that is football. Plays are made and missed both ways. Now granted the score doesn’t indicate how the game went. I didn’t agree with running the ball in from the 1 when we could’ve knelt down. Nobody has dominated them like we did. Not even UCF. Do I think we are better than UCF? Hell no, but we were better today. We physically beat them and I sincerely hope their players recover and they have a good rest of the season.

So, I see your point, but I think in your attempt to be diplomatic, which is admirable, I think you’re over correcting, so to speak. IMHO

The better team won, by evidence of the final result. They screwed up a lot, and we didn't so much, and a hallmark of better teams is that they screw up less. So, if that gets at your point, we agree.

To say "arguably, FAU lost that game more so than we won it," is just a cautionary tale to our guys... if our ambitions are to somehow win the conference and to go on to win a bowl game against a decent opponent, our game today didn't offer much in the way of reassurance... there's a lot to fix.

(Oh... and I appreciate the diplomatic, adult reply. Thx.)

Fair enough. And BTW, I tend to get sarcastic at times, but not combative (usually)...lol. Here’s to more wins.

Florida Atlantic had tons of yards of offense and beat Tech by 25 yet you keep bringing up this game and act like its close. You are truly a nut job

LOL NO.
Marshall beat that ass.
Thanks for coming out.

I kinda see Kiffin as that MLB pitcher you haven’t seen yet if you have a decent team. You see him once, he beats you. See hi a second time, you know what to look for. I was really impressed with Fuller tonight. Our secondary still needs work, but I’ll take the result. The run D was flat out balls to the wall kick your ass badass. Singletary couldn’t do anything. I thought the 4th and 1 call from their own 13 was nothing more than Kiffin’s arrogance coming out.

Solid win by the Herd and best of luck to FAU going forward.

Kiffin took risks last year and it paid off. This year not so much, Kiffin did the same thing against Tech.

I told ya’ll FAU defense was weak preseason and it has come to fruition.

I agree two solid weeks for Marshall. I kinda lost faith in Marshall after the NC State beatdown but solid defense can win CUSA
