When I walked out of the stadium with 10 minutes left in the first half. Football was over for me this season. Other than watching how other teams play. Didnt want to think about i because we have this coach for 2 more years after this one. Who knows, the Western AD might even rollover his contract for this season because of Covid.
Still impressed with the Marshall defense but I still dont know if the Marshall offense is as good as the 37 points you scored. That's not taking away anything from the Marshall offense...Western's defense really is that bad.
Win tomorrow and the east and most likely a CUSA title is going in the Marshall trophy case. The West looks almost as weak, as Western. Tech doesnt have the defense or offense of past seasons.
I was wondering what happened to ya, Guns. I’m glad to see you are back and well. Our offense is pretty good. The trick will be to see if someone can stop the run and force Wells to throw... which he has done serviceably. He has done exactly what you want a frosh qb to do... yes, he has thrown two picks, but this kid is smart and the real deal imho. As long as he doesn’t go full Litton on us, I think we are okay. But.. rest assured, we are due for a bad game. It happens to most teams. We will see.
I'm not talking anything away from the Marshall offense...done what it has needed to do and the Fr looked good vs Western. I just think its the defense that is whats really special on this Marshall team.
This Western team is just awful and I let last year fool me into going against what I thought of Helton. I thought the hire was a knee jerk reaction to a bad hire and Helton's offense at Tenn looked nothing like the Brohn offense.
But it does go to show what a serviceable qb that makes good decisions can do, Storey will that team to some wins with extending drives with his legs. Knowing where and when to throw.
Any coach that thought this Western offense had the ability to come close to the 2012016 Western offense...DOES NOT KNOW TALENT. Helton actually said that a week before the season started. I actually gave up on this Western team during the Liberty game and like I said....10 minutes before the half in the Marshall game. I was finished and heading home...an hour drive,
Looking at the Marshall schedule, tomorrow is most likely the CUSA championship. I expect Marshall to win and whoever wins the West will be out of the game by halftime. UTSA is the best team in the West but because their coach does not understand that their running game is their engine. Marshall will play UAB and it wont be a close game.
I dont see FIU, S.Miss, UMASS, Middle or UNCC coming with in 21 points of Marshall, UNCC might keep it to 14.
