Why aren't we all over Marshall's roster?

Because they barely beat W Michigan, UL Monroe, Old Dominion, beat GA Southern by 1, and lost to Virginia Tech by 17. There can't be that much to choose from for us.
Let’s book mark this and see how it all plays out next August when we play these guys in Hattiesburg.

In one way, it would suck to have an SEC schedule with a Sun Belt roster, but on the other hand, the glorious collective meltdown on this board if that happened would be so 17ing entertaining.
I’ll take a Sun Belt schedule with an SEC roster though…..*********

It's not like I'm wanting the whole roster. Cignetti brought 13 to Indiana from JMU, and it worked out, but of course that was his team and he knew them well.

Vandy only brought 5 from NM State. That's what I'm looking for. Fill some holes with some solid players.

It's just one rock we could be kicking. Doesn't seem like Lebby is hitting oil anywhere else.
I mean… that’s fair.

Thats just not true.
Obviously we can’t say with certainty what would happen in a hypothetical meeting between the 2 teams. But according to ESPN’s SP+ we are the no. 84 team in the country this year across all divisions. Marshall is 25 spots better at 59. So while “they would have beat our @55” may have been overstating the case, it’s more true than not true.
We were pretty stinking bad.
