Beating up the ball boy should really make us America’s sweetheart team. What was our player thinking?

I started to reply once with “well that didn’t age well”. But then I kept scrolling and realized how many times I would need to do it. So I didn’t.

FYI. We won. And it wasn’t “lucky”

I liked how she kept saying the wrong team's name while doing play-by-play.
Nah. Freak that dude. He put his hands on the player first. He got exactly what he deserved.
Seymour is bad at adjustments, has been all year. The ODU OC made great adjustments that almost won the game for them.
No, he didn’t. Moten was trying to steal the ball that he didn’t give back after his first quarter INT. It’s why he was trying to hide the ball under his jersey while running off the field. The ball boy did what he was supposed to do. He didn’t “put his hands on the player.” He tried hitting the ball out of Moten’s hands to get the stolen ball back.
Moten knew what he was doing was wrong, hence why he was trying to hide the ball under his jersey.
And now we have some moronic Marshall fan named Mark Campbell showing his ass to Sun Belt fans while Marshall was the one entirely at fault:

Yes, we were. You know that clip wil be replayed over and over. Not the kind of image we want.
Do you think the defense played well last night? And played well enough to win isn't a valid answer
No it won't. It will be forgotten by 1 pm today
How if playing well enough to win not a valid answer. That is the goal of the game. Correct?
Yes winning is the goal but it's ok to be critical even when you succeed. That's where growth happens and it's not something our defense has done lately. There are things wrong defensively and to quote your hero mark snyder, "we gotta get that fixed"
But. To add. The defense played very good in the first half. Giving up only 7 points to that same offense.
Defense could be better. But the offense is fun to watch! That’s the difference with this team vs his other teams. I know we can score at any given moment and to me, that is fun football.
That was hardly "by any means necessary." Did you watch the video that wasn't televised? The video where Moten was running by him and the ball by simply reached out to knock the ball out of his arm? That's hardly "by any means necessary" and is completely reasonable and justifiable to do to somebody who is stealing your belongings.
So you admit you are?
It's entertaining to see you melt down and try to justify your useless arguments on here 🙂
Of course I was bitching. We gave up 150+ years on the ground to a qb. As a fan, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to bitch about it. How is that in any way a "melt down"?

We're all in this together. Offense, defense, special teams. Sometimes one has to pick up the other, which happened on Saturday.
Yeah, their QB was mobile and torched us on the ground. He also was fumbling the ball. MU didn't get many turnovers from it but I certainly would be weary of having him doing it, which is basically all they were really able to do consistently, a big risk.
I'm not saying you can't complain, I'm saying you look foolish in doing so, especially after the game is over. You're trying to bring up things that don't matter anymore to justify whatever argument you're trying to make.
What an ignorant take.
You think because it happened to work out in our favor in that particular game, we shouldn't point out and discuss the staffs' inability to recognize and counter what an opposing team was doing? Particularly when this same issue - that is, the inability to make in-game adjustments to another team's scheme - has been a recurring theme for Huff and his staff. A theme that cost us at least one game this season, multiple games in the past, and could have cost us this weekend had it not been for the heroics of Braxton' and the offense.
I don't think you understand how a message board works. You need to get off Semore's nutsack. That was an absolute disaster class on how not to play the read option and further evidence that this staff struggles with in-game adjustments.
Also, if you want to talk about ridiculous arguments, aren't you the one that claimed the defense was worn down, even though they were getting destroyed the entire second half?
To touch on multiple points.
This was a nice TEAM win. With our road record lately, we need to be happy with any win on the road.
Also, our offense was able to pick up the slack for the defense. Which is what happens when you have a solid QB finally. This is a game we’ve lost in years past solely for that reason.
That said, it all comes down to one game. And for two games in a row, our defense has appeared to be out of solutions late in games.
We were getting absolutely TORCHED by simple read option. This game alone could be enough to damage Mike Greens draft stock. They were running option straight at him unblocked and he was struggling.
Also, Green at least twice, and the other DEs as well, got shut down on inside pash rush moves giving up huge 3rd down scrambles. That’s a big no no against a scrambling QB.
Our front 7 looked as poorly coached as I’ve seen in a while, and it needs fixed in a hurry if we hope to win two key road games in a row.

If you watch the longer video which is available the ball boy was fairly aggressive trying to retrieve the ball. A couple of ODU posters on the CUSA broad who witness the entire event said the ball boy was wrong and the Marshall player's response was also bad.
Let it go.
Let it go.
