HUNTINGTON – “Houston, we have a problem.”

New Marshall defensive coordinator Chuck Heater didn’t say quite that a couple of weeks ago when asked to assess where his side of the football stood entering spring practice.

The phrase would have fit, however, after Heater remarked: “I can tell you we’ve got issues at linebacker and safety.”

Well, a Houston might be part of the fix. Freshman strong side linebacker Stefan Houston, on campus only a couple of months after his arrival from the prep-school program at Fork Union Military Academy, has been something of an eye-opener in the first few days of spring drills for Coach Doc Holliday’s club.
