BOCA RATON, FL— Doc Holliday let everyone know exactly where he thought his football team should be following its 52-23 win over Northern Illinois in the Boca Raton Bowl.

“I’d expect us to be back in the top 25, if we don’t we know something’s wrong,” Holliday said matter-of-factly during the postgame trophy presentation.

Marshall was in the Associated Press and Amway Coaches Poll Top 25 poll throughout much of the season and had finally cracked into the CFB Playoff Committee poll the week prior to losing its only game of the season, in overtime to Western Kentucky. Following the loss Marshall fell from both polls and was eliminated from contention for the coveted New Year’s bowl game.

“I hear about our schedule but look at our schedule at the end of the year and evaluate it. We played plenty of bowl eligible teams. This a great football team that can play with anybody,” insisted Holliday.

Amen Doc. It's BS if we don't

Half the teams in the top 25 will lose over the next couple of weeks...albeit, many teams slotted between 25-35 will win. That said, anyone who watches the games can tell we are a top 25 team. Right now I would play anyone.  Our big issue was that we just got tired at the end of the season, which is why our final three games were something of a struggle. But we've had a couple of weeks to heal and I think we could give anyone a game.
