By Dave Wilson in Marshall SportsRakeem Cato threw for 4,201 yards and 37 touchdowns last season on his way to being named the Conference USA Most Valuable Player. He spread the ball around to his group of talented receivers with 11 different players catching touchdown passes. Coming into 2013 Marshall’s offense has lost a couple of its top targets but this year’s group is plenty capable of making up for the losses.“We have a really good receiving corps,” assesses new receivers coach Mike Furrey. “A lot of veterans and a lot of guys that have a lot of playing time, it’s pretty neat. “Two of Cato’s top three targets, Aaron Dobson and Antavious Wilson, along with Andre Snipes-Booker have graduated and moved on. Dobson is now hoping to hear his named called on the first day of the NFL draft. Furrey concedes it would have been fun to coach such talents as Dobson, Wilson and Snipes-Booker but asserts their impact is still being felt.
