I agree that Marshall would, and should, beat most D-2 teams on most nights. With that said, I?ve watched WV State play twice this year and Anthony Pittman from WV State would be a starter for Marshall right now and be arguably the best player on the team.
Different level. Sure individuals can start and play here, from lower levels that were missed, but i highly doubt he'd be the best player over kinsey and obinna. But overall as a group, we'd beat state by 20-30 even in the slump, from pure athleticism, depth and size. Same reason most P5s can beat G5s regularly, the size, strength, speed, and usually talent to a lesser degree, decreases as you go down the ladder.
