Isn't this the first year our ST coach has actually had the sole responsibility of ST? Seems like a read that somewhere when he was hired. Not good.
All joking aside, would anyone be surprised if we finished 5-7?

I find the "OL Sucks" argument comical at times.
11 sacks in 6 games
Averaging over 4 yards per carry
Running back who is second in the country in rushing TD's
Averaging over 30 points per game
Yet, somehow, they suck.
Tough crowd

…..and yet, Aaron, you can throw every possible attaboy into this thread, painting as ultra positive picture as is humanly possible. But having done that? They’re not scoring enough points to win those last two games. And in the last game? Woefully short of the necessary effort. Please explain why we are having such a hard time scoring enough?
Well, we have scored enough to win 4 of the 6 times we have been on the field this year. The loss at NC State we scored enough to probably win, but didnt. Georgia State we lost. Happens.
Its not like we are 1 - 5 or anything.
Well just as you argue over on the other board that JMU has been lucky to hold on and win their games we are just a play away or some beneficial PI calls away from having a losing record. ECU is the only team that we put away.
Your refusal to even acknowledge that some things aren't working is baffling.
I dont usually agree with your over the top homer stance... But in this instance I do.
The offensive line hasn't been as bad as many on here believe. Our offense's biggest issues are not having a #1 WR (or anything close to it) and having a QB that doesn't/can't throw downfield (which is also tied back to problem number one).
The only memorable deep ball we've completed all season was thrown from a WR to another WR on a gadget play against ECU. It's week 7, and that's a problem.
Still waiting on some substance to your claim. Give us some analysis. Can you give some analysis. When is the last time you watched a game sammy?
How much time do you think a D-1 qb should get in the pocket? 5-10 seconds? 1-3? 4-6? Just curious, plus there is more to pass blocking than just the Oline. Qbs have the ability to move in the pocket and away from pressure.
Wouldn't shock me if he throws a deep pass on the first drive of tonight's game, and the pass is either completely uncatchable by anyone or sails right into the coverage's hands for an INT.
That last remark was totally unnecessary . You will never see the day you know more about football than I do. And calling an older person names is just not nice and you should know better .
First day on the Internet?
I'm pretty certain your "extensive" knowledge of college football is nowhere the level you think. In fact, it's quite obvious from the things you keep insisting about Marshall football so far this season.
Post didn't age too well, now did it?
Reality. This is a bad football team. Evident from Day One. A gaudy record, against awful teams, fooled the simple minded, but now we all, well all but Perkins who would cheer for a bowl of hog s*** if you painted "Marshall" on it, understand.

Well said . Throwing with intent, urgency, and velocity. Throw wr open is not in his game
Ok, now factor in the JMU game and see how those numbers stack up.
If we continue to epically fail to protect the QB I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we end up with a losing record.
So, if we do end up finishing 5-7 and ineligible for even a crappy Traxx Sneakers Bowl, does the Athletic Director start giving serious consideration to Huff's dismissal?
No, it was evident day 1. Please, give us some specifics as to what the problems are. You never do. You are no fan of Marshall. Did you attend the game? Did you actually watch the game?
It was?
Then why were you trolling me, and others who understand just how bad this team is, when we pointed that simple fact out, just after the Albany fiasco?
NOW, having been proven wrong, you wish to change the subject. I'm not playing your game. I was right, you were wrong. Game, set, match. You lose.
Nope. I didn't lose. I dont change the subject. I dont run and hide. You have never given any insight as to why we are bad team. What specifically is wrong? Even I have pointed out the specific issues with this team and coaches. You dont. Why? Why when we win, do you disappear and hide until the next loss? Its a simple question you never answer.
Bad teams dont win 4 games in a row. Bad teams dont win on the road. Bad teams dont beat p5 schools. Bad teams dont take other P5 teams to the last minute of a game before losing on the road. Bad teams arent within one score of a top 25 team in the 4th quarter.
Now, maybe bad teams will do one of those things a year, but not all of those things.
You truly have no clue what you are talking about, and it is comical to see you spew your ignorance across this site on such a regular basis.
So you wish to lose, just as raleighherdfan has?
BTW, isn't it sad that he is still posting, when he has already lost?
Anyway, all you have done, in your childish way, is list some moral victory crapola. This, very bad, football team, has been assreamed by every team with a pulse it has played. While it will have a losing record, even that will be misleading, as we caught ECU and VPI at their absolute bottom on a generational scale. Most years this team would have been 3-8 or so at this level of stink.
The, again in your childish way, you call the adults "ignorant". I get it, I really do. Everything Marshall is good, every player is good, every coach is good. Rah, rah, rah. I felt that way.
When I was 10.

It's nauseating... I've never blocked a poster on this site, but I don't know if I can stomach much more of the "everything is phenomenal" BS.
Here in the real world, our team has lost three games in a row, the last two being badly outlplayed/outcoached. We look like a team that will be incredibly fortunate to finish .500 with a home win over Albany.
We need to be rooting for 2-3 more W's so we make a bowl game and hopefully find a MAC or CUSA team we can beat in Mobile, Birmingham, Myrtle Beach, etc on a random December Tuesday afternoon.
We are certainly a badly flawed team but so are the teams on our schedule including VPI and NCSU. We could still finish 6-6 maybe 7-5. Certainly that would not make us a "good" team but does it make us "bad"? Almost a semantical argument!
I dont recall saying anything about moral victories. Didnt say we were a great team. But as you knock on me, and apparently my positivity annoys Rhino and MANY others, but you are the exact opposite. To say this is a BAD football team is an ignorant comment. BAD football teams dont compete week in and week out with the teams we are playing, and beating.
Not that hard to understand really.
And Rhino, if I bring nothing at all to HN, then the block button is easy to fine, i am fairly positive you are not the only person on here to block someone that supports your program to the max. So, let it rip!!
GO HERD!
