I'm going to start calling you, Twitter Bop, lol... You always find things that contribute to this board that's very much appreciated!

Run D has been a big problem & that?s scary.  Pass D is scary too but with N Johnson playing it improves.  I?d rush only (2) this game with occasional blitzes from fastest players.  Cover with 9.

4 of Marshalls opponents have a winning record at this point in the season. 

1 of Marshalls in conference opponents has a winning record (UAB).

Has to be one of the weakest schedules. 

Good riddance CUSA.

Teams don't need to pass when they can run for 300 yards a game

I don't know if this was about us, but Marshall has only had one opponent rush for over 300 yards.

We are one of the worst teams in the nation against the rush lol. The fact that you are pointing out we only had 1 opponent rush for 300 yards is in itself, hilarious.

I was only pointing out your statement making it seem like we give up 300 a game was wrong. I agree our rush defense is bad. I thought most knew it was going to be a question because we have very little size up front.

They don't get passing stats when we commit pass interference to prevent them from catching the ball.

Interesting that we can?t stop the run, can?t stop the pass, and have still given up the fewest points in the conference.  I hate to see how many points we would give up if we were actually good.

I think our DC makes excellent in game adjustments. I'm excited for tomorrow.

The bend but don't break defense has been our motto all year..
