Reflections after week #1

[ohio herd]

Okay, I know it was VMI, but here are a few thoughts.

1.. We have some depth on the OL. Rotating 6-7 guys we didn't seem to miss a beat.
2. QB. We have no controversy for sure but having AT is the best 1-2 punch we have had since Cato and Fron
3. Defense is small but effective in all areas.
4.Special teams are solid, IMO better than last year.

i think we have the best team we have had in since pennington moss. we a lot of game breakers on offense everyone of the receivers and king can take it the distance on any play. herd offense returns.

we will find out what we have Friday night.

You think this team is better than Cato's 2014 squad?

 

[herd66]

Maybe. As we do not turn the ball over will win the conference.

The 2001 and 2002 Marshall squads were superior to this Marshall team.

Still to early to tell. This team has a better offensive line and overall defense. Those teams had a better QB and receivers.

I doubt they are. Cato's 2014 squad was very good all around. They probably had the best chemistry for an MU squad in a long time too.

Trying to compare our current team to some of our better teams is impossible to do at this point.

I definitely think it’s too early to tell what kind of team we will be this year and especially comparing them to some of our great teams after playing a game against a terrible opponent but I did like what I saw in several spots last night. Looking forward to Friday to see how we do against Boise, but I like our chances!

Yes, last night MU beat a Spring Valley or Ky Christian talent level squad.

I doubt they are. Cato's 2014 squad was very good all around. They probably had the best chemistry for an MU squad in a long time too.

That team was stout in all three phases. We really didn't have a weakness that season. Aside from one stupid game where the staff changed up the gameplan.

Every win is a good win. Boise up next, and need to come home with another win. Tough road game, but the Herd is capable of beating them.

Came to check out what you were talking about. Had to of known it was Dtard making some ridiculous claim like this.

VMI was not a good team for us to rant and rave how good we are and better than this or that past team/s. IMO we will have a much better measurement this Friday when we play on the Smurf Turf at Boise. We beat them solid than hell yeah we should have a great season.

Why do you think Marshall was so slow on offense in the 1st half? Just OL struggles or maybe keeping it vanilla against a lesser opponent? They were a lot slower in the 1st half then got the pace going a bit in 2nd half of the blowout. Wondering if we're slowing it down this year...?
