fyi Charles Huff..

The top twenty scoring defenses are a combined 166-44 so far this season, so I wouldn’t consider it a junk stat. In that group, only Auburn, at #20 and 4-6, has a losing record.
But the question isn’t about if a team is good. The question is about comparing defenses. And points allowed is not a good stat to identify that.

If a defense doesn’t give up many points, there is a good chance the team has a good record. But a lot of that defense’s success in not allowing points is determined also by the offense: if the offense doesn’t turn the ball over in their own zone, if the offense has sustained drives and/or flips the field.

Our schedule has worked out to be very weak because App and Coastal have both had bad seasons. Sagarin currently has us with the 2nd weakest SOS in the conference and that’s with Ohio State and VT.

I’m not saying we aren’t, or can’t have a good season. I’m just saying we haven’t proven anything yet.

My pre-season prediction was 6-6. I figured we would lose to OSU and VT and be 2-2 non-conference. I guessed we would lose 4 of our 6 east games. Holding serve at 3-0 in our division home games puts in a position where we are currently one game above where I thought we would be, but I didn’t figure App and Coastal would be sub .500 teams this year.

So yeah, if we finish 7-5 then I chalk that up more to two traditionally good opponents being down rather than Huff being a miracle worker. If we go 9-3 then he had a really strong performance.

Wins can’t be wins can they. Nope. Now those are even conditional.

We may very well finish 7-5. Who knows. But the fact remains we have a coach that has us on solid ground and if he so chooses, we should be grateful to have him back next year.

All-Cause Mortality

You allowed them to do it the first time, and you will allow them to do it again while you are holding your ankles.
I didn't realize herdman made any of those decisions. And for the most part, neither did Trump. The states made those decisions, namely your power thirsty DemonCrats.

But you know this and are just trying to be your usual sniveling cvnty little cvnt self.

Yes, if daddy Trump tells him to shut down he’ll be the first one on here crowing about the evil liberals that are still going outside.
Says the guy who still wears a mask and cried it was, "too soon, people are still dying!!" When we finally started to reopen.

The states chose to remain open/closed, not Trump.

But let's never forget that more people died under Joe Biden than Trump.

I’m just going to point out something, take it however you want.

There are currently 7 teams over .500 and 7 teams that are .500 or worse in the conference. We are 0-1 against the first group and 5-0 against the second group.

We missed the best 4 teams in the west and have so far only played one of the other 3 top teams in the east.

If we lose the next 2 we will be 0-3 against teams with a winning conference record and 5-0 against the bad teams. That means we are the most average team in the conference.

If we beat ODU and lose to JMU it means we are the 5th or 6th best team this year.

To me, being between the 5th and 8th best team in a 14 team conference isn’t close to acceptable. If we don’t win the next two it will be another blah, useless, wasted season.
Always moving the goal posts on coach huff. Look at the pre season predictions on here by all you Nick Saban wannabes. Losses to Appy coastal etc. etc. We are a colossal collapse by Marshall from having our only 2 losses being against Va tech a game we were in the whole game, and Ohio state who has a good chance at winning the national championship.

Very few of our resident Saban had Marshall with one loss and a great chance at winning the division with 2 games left. Now it’s well we haven’t beaten anybody in our conference that’s good but ODU and JMU are? Who decided JMU and ODU were world beaters? The same JMU team that put 70 on unc put 13 on Gardner Webb. Also they lost to ULM, a team we beat. I think huff has had a lot to prove this year but sans the Ga Southern game he’s done well.

I’ll admit it I wasn’t thinking we were going to do much this year. After Ga Southern I thought he may be regressing. But he completely righted the ship. Is he a great coach?, no not yet, but he’s definitely getting better. If he wins the next 2 I think he will have done a remarkable job this year dealing with the roster turn over etc. But something tells me even if he wins the next 2 many of you still wont give him any credit and you will move the goal posts further to try and discredit him.

I don’t know why I’m surprised we have people in the soccer thread criticizing Coach Grassie as he prepares Marshall soccer for yet another NCAA tournament appearance. I mean the guy has only kept us ranked in the top 10 for years, won a national championship, Im sure guys that coached their 12 year old daughters travel team know more than him.

But buck up haters maybe Huff will win the next 2 and the championship game and a bowl and some p5 will come and take him off your plate. So you can find a new coach to hate.

Trump Dance

What do you guys think of Islam? Not the religion.

He's good. But have you heard Moicano's post fight interviews??

He took a 4 day notice, 5 round fight with Dos Anjos just 1 month after submitting Hernandez. He made the 160 catch weight and went through all 5 rounds.
That's some insane stuff!
