Marshall / NIU game thread

[ohio herd]

Man I am pumped! Go Herd!

1 short pass and 3 deep bombs, we can pick this team apart with 10-20 patterns and than run it down their throat. We should stack the box with 8 and make a bad QB beat us!!!! Just my 2 cents

 

[Herdon2]

Those play calls sucked. Why throw 2 bombs instead of trying to continue the drive?

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Pitiful play calling by Legg or Cato. Two long balls, good gawd!

Williams shanks a punt. Nice.

We look like crap!

 

[ilmherdfan]

So predicable. Throw low percentage deep balls and then secondary blows a coverage and we are behind early - again.

Why are we addicted to the deep ball?

 

[sistersville]

Run run run or run run pass but never run up the middle and two bombs.

 

[zz1038]

Here we go again, what is the defense coordinator doing? I think Marshall let a third string TE catch another touchdown, see WKU for the first three. No pressure, no blitzing in passing downs, drop 8 against a below average QB, what are the coaches watching, it is like groundhog day

 

[ggmike1992]

Nice way to respond. Juked the kicker out of his jock.

 

[ilmherdfan]

wow - I'll take that!

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

What a beautiful play call on that TD

14-7 Herd

 

[Tim_N_Montana]

When we run and play short passing game, we are almost impossible to stop

Weather is north Florida has been $hitty today. DirectTV signal going in and out. Help a brother out with big play and score updates.

 

[zz1038]

Why do we continue to drop 8 and not blitz on obvious passing downs? Does our coaching staff realize how poor of a passer this QB is?

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

10 has cost us two first downs and kept their drives alive.

 

[ThunderCat98]

We have blitzed several times, we just don't get there. Btw, that last holding call was bs.

Shocking that penalties keep being a problem

[Marine03]

I think our d is still en route to the game, they've yet to show up.

 

[ilmherdfan]

Their o-line is good but we need to find a way to get pressure if our secondary keeps this up.

 

[ggmike1992]

Dodged a bullet there.

 

[HerdandHokies]

Good call by Doc to take 3rd and 7.

I guess DirecTV subscribers are still not able to access WatchESPN?

 

[ohio herd]

So far so good. Looks like our guys are focused tonight and not distracted cause we are playing in Fl.

 

[NoPuntIntended]

First trick play of Legg's tenure? First man in motion of Legg's tenure?

 

[Tim_N_Montana]

Nice stand by the D.

Watch ESPN not working (for ESPN). Have to watch in on ESPN3 in Spanish !!!!

Hooked up the laptop to the TV and the message board on my iPad.

Another slow MAC team. Exactly as we expected. Should score quick and often in the second half to blow them out.

 

[andy4theherd]

completely unimpressed with NIU. we should be up by another TD (at least). we will pull away in the 2nd half. the young guys will play the 4th...



this team is VERY good and deserved to play a much better team than NIU (or Illinois)...

 

[Herdon2]

I love how they show not one highlight of our team and show numerous of NI at the half highlights. You would think they were winning.

 

[ggmike1992]

Great stop on 4th down. Points now to shut them up.

 

[herdalicious]

NIU is trash.

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Our offensive play calling is trash. Cato/Legg gonna lose this game with crappy long balls on first down. Ugh!

 

[Tim_N_Montana]

Glad to see Shu have the catch that finalized the TD record

[zz1038]

Another slow MAC team, the difference in athletic players is very obvious

 

[ggmike1992]

Perhaps if he tackled him instead of trying to strip the ball they could have kept them to 3.

 

[ggmike1992]

Love watching DJ run.

 

[herdalicious]

NIU is trash.

 

[Tim_N_Montana]

I was worried about all the distractions before the bowl, plus we never seem to play well in Fla. But our boys look good, and poised. Doc and co. Did a good job prepping the team.
