HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- If the running backs on Marshall's football team didn't know it coming into this spring, Coach Doc Holliday made it evident in his words after the first day of practice.

On third-and-1, the Thundering Herd must be able to line up and plow forward for that one yard.

Marshall's high-octane offense will still be the norm, but there will be times the team needs to slow things down.

That's the task for the running backs this spring, to add a little power running to their startling speed. And while they're doing that, they'll be jockeying for the top spots on the depth chart, spots they all showed they were worthy of last year.
