Game Thread: Marshall vs WKU

[rdhstlr23]

Do you think it's that or do they just have better players? I've got no dog in this fight for either team, so I'm watching it without bias. I can say that WKU has a much, MUCH better team.

They are a MUCH better team and a very experienced/senior laden team.

With that said, the play calling, adjustments and schemes aren't close offense to offense.

Maybe Chase can't handle it still as a true freshman with a young line, but it was this way with Cato last year.

 

[Herd Fever]

I have been calling for a slant and go for 6 years now

 

[rdhstlr23]

How about a run to the outside? We do nothing but recruit 4.4 guys! Foster can't get the edge?!?

Legg is a MORON!

We aren't scoring all game. We will keep running 7 plays and hope it works.

 

[rdhstlr23]

So bad. So so bad.

Nobody open because they know what plays we run and our tendencies.

We probably have the same gameplan as last year. Didn't change the game plan at all.

I can honestly say I detest Bill Legg. Has rode the coat tails of special players and a weak conference to success.

The guy blows.

 

[IJW]

it would be nice if we got a pass interferance call. Yur was draped last drive and that looked like interference there too.

Obviously you've never been to Bowling Green. It's way bigger than Morgantown and Huntington and much nicer.

BG-62,479 Hunt- 49,138
BG Metro 165,732 Hunt Metro 365,400

BG is bigger. Huntington Metro is WAY bigger.

 

[ThunderStruck80]

This gameplan is garbage. We had a bye week to prepare for this. Shouldn't be surprised.

Birdsong, really? Probably same people wanting Birdsong out when he wasn't preformimg well. Litton is our guy.

 

[30Kelly]

Good grief, the WKU defense is not this good. We are making them look great.

 

[HerdFan76]

37 yards of offense. That's pittiful

 

[gatormatt80]

21-0

This is disgraceful.

 

[bgr30]

When was the last time we were shutout?

37 yard of offense man... I think Litton is the guy long term but he has been terrible today. We don't have anything to lose. Just watch the game he's yelling at receivers after every incompletion, they're yelling at him. He's making bad decisions... He has no composure right now

 

[pdbailey]

I'm not even sure why I am bothering to watch this. I feel sorry for our fans that paid money to go watch it at the stadium as our team is making it a complete waste of money. Our defense can only hold on for so long when they are on the field the whole half.

let me correct that, at least Reaves is worth watching!

 

[gatormatt80]

Wow. Nice return!!!!

 

[houston_herd_fan]

now if we start doing something other than run it up the middle on first down might be able to do something on offense.

 

[ohio herd]

well I guess if you can't get a first down all you can do is get a KR for a TD-

 

[bangtheherd]

Did Doc go to Litton when Birdsong sucked against Ohio? No. So sit back and watch.

BG is bigger. Huntington Metro is WAY bigger.

Not sure what they're considering Huntington Metro but the whole county only has 97,000 people. And the whole state only has 1.8 million so they must be counting the whole southern part of the state as Huntington Metro.

 

[gatormatt80]

We cannot allow Doughty time to sit back and pick us apart. We have to blitz and put pressure on him.

 

[Herd Fever]

Huntington Metro is Huntington/Ironton/Ashland

 

[Herd Fever]

338 Yards on Offense for WKU vs. 37 yards on offense for Marshall

 

[redsfan5590]

Did Doc go to Litton when Birdsong sucked against Ohio? No. So sit back and watch.

Are you Chase's mom? I mean come on... If birdsong helps us get more than 37 yards of offense then im fine with that. Your argument is "we lost to Ohio because we didn't change quarterbacks! So we better lose to WKU for the same reason!"

 

[HornsNHerd]

We don't belong on the same field as this team through 1 half.

 

[AWS1022]

Huntington Metro is Huntington/Ironton/Ashland

So in other words, you have to include other states to get the population bigger than Bowling Green. Ok, I can see that.

 

[Herd4ever07]

The no fly zone is giving out free first class flights today.

 

[Herd Fever]

You do know the NYC Metro area includes 3 states too

 

[rdhstlr23]

Until we start running to the outside, our running game will not be effective.

Just let the kids nerves settle. TRUE FRESHMAN. Say it with me.

 

[gatormatt80]

I don't believe it... An offensive TD.

 

[bangtheherd]

But I guess Birdsong would have got himself a TD pass right?

 

[pdbailey]

I think we scored too quick.

 

[pdbailey]

Until we start running to the outside, our running game will not be effective.

I agree, they are using three big DLs to stuff the middle so the only option is to loosen them up by running outside.

 

[HerdFan73]

I have been calling for a slant and go for 6 years now

I've been doing the same thing for a RB screen.

 

[pdbailey]

Yep, we scored too quick.

 

[HornsNHerd]

Chuck Heater is going to go to his death bed thinking about Brandon Doughty and these receivers.

 

[rdhstlr23]

KEEP BLITZING. it's our only shot.

 

[Herd Fever]

Did the defense show up today

 

[Herd Fever]

I guess both Coordinators stayed in Huntington today. To allow WKU to just March down the field and score like that is pathetic
