I’m quite sure the OOC teams we played in the past had a game plan to limit the run game, but that didn’t fly as a reason for our lack of success on this board.

I don't understand this response at all. The run game has to improve but this comment was simply we're not going to see Martin start in the near future

This team has such a different look and feel compared to last year. OC and DC actually have a clue on how to call games and players are executing especially the WR. How the heck Howard never saw the field under Franklin is a disgrace. BGJ was more interested in Chad Powers and Keegan Michael Key and Hollywood

One thought: The tackling on defense is better than ANY SINGLE TEAM Franklin ever put on the field including 2023 under Manny. The tackling reminds me of that 2005 team. They don't miss. This Del Rio Wilson is absolutely the real deal and they got him down with one man every time.

So as soon as somebody was removed from their coaching duties, Howard mysteriously starts to see the field and looks great by the end of last year. Now he’s getting open every time and definitely looks like he should’ve been playing every snap last year.

Score may have been similar at halftime as last year’s opener, but that was a top five team playing against a three win Nevada team. And now this is nowhere near talented of a roster according to the Franklin Bots playing against a team that’s probably going to come in second place to JMU in their conference.
You would think he could have seen the field earlier last year. And suspiciously it isn't until BGJ gets canned that he does.

Hansen and Peoples essentially the same back, Peoples needs to change cleat
testing Marshall's middle.
WR's best in 5 years
Iowa St. transfers good as expected
Expecting Q to run in 2nd half along with Manske.
Need tighter coverage on T- end Payne.

Especially early in the season

I would like to see Mouser use the tight ends a little more in those third-and-medium situations. Rappleyea has not been utilized and I thought he could have been targeted on at least a couple of routes he ran.

As I was sitting in Starbucks this morning nursing my vanilla latte and blueberry muffin, a guy walked in wearing a vick vo tech jersey. What a time to be a vo tech athletic supporter.

😞
No Scone? What the heck Bob?

I think they're saving the heavy TE look for later in the season. I remember MC using 5 TE's when he was at ISU.

I think they were in zone for both of those catches as it looked like the blitzer was from the Titans end side of the formation and the quarterback made a good read

That’s not the post this was a response to.

Now you're just making shift up. LdN hasn't posted on this board since it was migrated.

You're embarrassing yourself.
He just posted it in this thread, so someone is embarrassing themselves but it’s not me.

I realize that Marshall’s defense isn’t great and they’re selling out on the run, but it’s nice to see receivers who actually can catch the ball as well as a route concept that gets people open. It’s nice to not have to rely on Alan getting the ball down the field 8 yards at a time or Singleton hitting a home run.

Oh boy. Ludd's going to have a field day with this comment.

His head is probably exploding!
Nope, I agree with this one….i wanted to see more over the middle and slant routes for the past few years.
