Marshall vs Coastal Carolina - Tale of the Tape

Coastal comes in with potential future NFL QB Grayson McCall and some nice weapons around him including Sam Pinckney (2,300 career receiving yards including 623 so far this year). Also keep an eye on WR Jared Brown. He's averaging over 20 yards per reception and comes in with 4 straight games with at least one 50+ yard reception. The recipe for Coastal's success has been the efficiency and limited mistakes by McCall (18 TDs and 1 INT) and just hanging around on defense long enough for the other team to turn it over (17 forced turnovers in 7 games is 5th most in the country). McCall is currently 4th in the country in QB Rating. Our DBs are going to have to play their best game this weekend. The difference between last weekend and this coming weekend in regards to QB talent is seismic.
So how did ODU just beat them 49-21? By avoiding the costly turnovers, being just good enough on their own side of the 50 (Coastal was in ODU territory 9 times but only scored 3 times), and mashing ODU with 323 yards rushing on 32 carries.

CCU

CCU has probably the best QB we play all season, but thankfully he lost most of his weapons from last year. They have one receiver that sort of stands out, and he’s a transfer from Ga State. Our pass rush is going to be key for us, and I believe our DL is better than their OL. I’d like to think that even our inept offense can run the ball on their defense. Definitely a winnable game, but we have also shown the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Study shows that recycling plastic a failure

Wow after being told I was saving the planet this new report shows that only about 10% is recycled. The other 90% is sent to dump or burnt. Oh well just one more feel good initiate that does not work but has been worshipped by the left for years.
