SBNation's Bill Connelly 128-team season previews: Marshall from CUSA

[RedParallax]

If you've not read Bill's season previews before, they are, in my opinion, the absolute best source of serious detail for smaller programs like ours. Super detailed, thorough, and insightful. Enjoy!

Marshall football is reloading, but a good 2016 should lead to a great 2017

Good Read and pretty spot on. 8-4 record wouldn't be bad. It can be better for sure.

Personally, I'm hoping for 14-0 and a top ten ranking haha. But I see 9-10 regular season wins as being very attainable. UL, MTSU, and WKU at home, Pitt and USM on the road, are the toughest games on the schedule. Without a total collapse, we should win every other game, and at least two of those.

14-0 !!!!!

14-0 !!!!!

The resulting effect from that powerful stuff you're smoking ???

But, a very good read.

We do not have the luxury of having time up front to "iron things out". Louisville and Pitt are on us very quickly. Then on the back end we have no bye to rest up. It is going to be tough to get ten again. If we would go to Access Bowl it would be a great accomplishment, but under the circumstances totally a tremendous feat.
